Konami Digital Entertainment will host the first American Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series event of the new season in Dallas, Texas on October 4-5 at the Arlington Convention Center in Arlington, TX.
 
Pre-registration runs Friday, October 3rd from 3 – 7pm, and players will receive five Duelist Alliance booster packs.
 
A new Forbidden and Limited list takes effect on October 1st, so YCS Dallas will be the first place Duelists can test new decks and new strategies.
 
The event will feature Dragon Duels for the younger players (born 2002 or later) on Saturday and Sunday.  The winner of Saturday will play against the Sunday winner to determine the YCS Dragon Duel Champion.
 
The winner of the event will receive an Ultra Rare version of the "Ascension Sky Dragon" prize card, paid travel to a World Championship Qualifier (or if underage, winner and guardian), YCS Top Cut Game Mat, a PlayStation 4 system, and an invite to their 2015 World Championship Qualifier tournament.
 
Public events will include Regional Qualifiers, 3 vs. 3 Team Dueling, Attack of the Giant Card!!, Win-A-Mats, Battle Pack, and Battle City Tournaments held throughout the weekend.
 
Last year’s Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship was held at Palacongressi di Rimini in Rimini, Italy on August 9 – 10 (see "Detroit 'YGO' North American World Championship Qualifier").
