Event details - https://sg-ygo.forumotion.com/t8458-asia-championships-2012

The event itself will be held on 15 April at SCAPE Warehouse, Level 2.

hi is there a limit for the number of players who can join not including the seeded players ???

Unrestricted. The only restriction is you must do the online registration during the period mentioned in the poster

Is Ultra Pro 2nd layer transparent sleeves allowed? (Silver dot thingy on the front, not the back)

May constitute as marking, since some of the silver thing can come on while some stay on, so no, I will rule as not allowed.

May I suggest that the information released to be also parallel to the thread in the official Yu-Gi-Oh! forum.

Doesn't look very good for official information to be released on non-official forum ONLY.

Information to be released in official forum by Konami staff, I expect it to go up soon

Cards in DT01 and DT02 are LEGAL?? Even if they aren't reprinted before???

PP14 not legal for use? Cuz i think its going to be mass released in March??

In previous tournaments, I think the use of calculators are still allowed somehow. Will it be totally banned this time around?? Or we still can use it in conjunction with pen+paper (manual calculation)?

Please advise me the tournament can let Malaysian join ?

As of now, PP14 is not legal. I will update again if that changes. I will update again on that if it changes. Also noted on calculators, let me recheck with Konami on this. And yes, DT1 & 2 are legal.

With regards to Malaysians, I understand they will be allowed to join, though not allowed to represent Singapore in the event that they win the qualifiers. Also, they will only be allowed to join if they did not participate in the Malaysian qualifiers.

Slight update, PP14 is now legal as it will be carried by Konami HK in March

So , if i never join any ranking tournament b4 , still can join the sg asia championship ?

Ranking tournaments not the same as your Msia qualifiers, I think.

You have to have never played either to be allowed to join SG's Asia Championships.

Update, calculators are now allowed. Players are reminded to bring either pen and paper or calculators to calculate your own life points.

Also updated that OCG Duelist Box promotional cards and deck protectors are allowed.

Lastly to clarify, Malaysians are allowed to join regardless of joining the SG ranking tournaments. The only restrictions is that they must have done the online submissions and they must have not participated in the Malaysia Asia Championship qualifiers held on 17 March 2012.

Do be reminded that only cards released up to the OCG Starter Deck 2012 will be allowed, though of course still following the restricted list mentioned in the main post.

is there any restrictions on the brand of deck boxes we use?

no unless its officially distributed in products or konami events.

Can we use a different protector for the 15 Extra? Cos later if same accidently shuffle in the next game get game loss is really dumb.

Nope, you have to use the same deck protector. So you will have to take extra care and be responsible for your deck.

Double layer deck protectors are allowed, provided the outer layer must be a transparent deck protector. Players must use same color protectors for their decks, extra deck and side deck. No markings are allowed on protectors

But KMC protectors got no markings so can I used them?

Yes, thats all correct

Are cards from Return Of The Duelist allowed in the event?

FYI, Point 6, last line.

Is it possible if I put KMC double layer on both main deck and side deck. However, I did not put double layering KMC protector on the extra deck.
Main, side and extra deck the first layer used same yugioh zexal portector.

Why not just dont put KMC on all your cards?

why cant u be a normal person and follow instructions given and use the same for everything. KMC comes in 40 or 80s. not 55.

Or are u trying to prevent this.

Please follow instructions and stop asking alternatives on if I can bend the rules on your version. Rulings such as registration, deck protectors etc will be especially enforced this time round with no exceptions as we will be hosting the regional finals.

Prizes updated as well in the main thread.

Hi everyone, online registration is now open and closes on 4 April. Please remember to do your online registration accordingly, late registration will not be accepted. Link as follows.

http://www.konami-asia.com/th/yugi/event/?lang=en

Also, PLEASE check through your deck lists before you submit. This is a reminder that if you accidentally put in a wrong card in your deck, you will be required to play that card in your deck or face disqualification during deck check. (Will be interesting to see if anyone has to play with 3 Great Bill in their deck due to wrong submission...)

is there a limit to the number of entries?

No limit to the registration numbers, just ensure you do the registration before the registration closes on 4 April.

The only restriction to participating is you cannot have taken part in the qualifiers from another country. Even if you register online successfully, the list will be checked against the registration lists from the other countries' participants list and you will be rejected entry.

thanks for de info =)

Yes. I am trying to prevent this. I mean sometimes stupid mistake like "same accidently shuffle in the next game" is really heart pain.

Its your own responsibility to check your deck and make sure its correct before the start of the next game.

Well, do you think an Asia Champ would shuffle cards from another deck into his main deck?
