Konami Digital Entertainment will host a Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series event this weekend in San Diego. For the first time, a YCS event will feature sealed deck play for the day one Main Event. Players will receive ten Battle Pack: Epic Dawn booster packs on registering, and will contruct their own decks for nine Swiss rounds. The second day will be played using Advanced Constructed rules, with a fresh record for players who advance.
Another new feature at this YCS event will be Deck-building clinics, to help younger Duelists learn the basics on building a Deck.
Dragon Duels will be held for younger players on Saturday and Sunday.
The winner of the event will receive an Ultra Rare Digvorzhak, King of Heavy Industry card, paid travel to a World Championship Qualifier (unless a previous winner), YCS Top Cut Game Mat, and a 500GB game console.
Public events will include Regional Qualifiers, 3 vs. 3 Team Dueling, Attack of the Giant Card!!, Win-A-Mats, Duelist League, Onslaught of the Fire Kings Structure Deck tournaments, and Sealed Pack Tournaments for Battle Pack: Epic Dawn.
