KONAMI DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT INTRODUCES THE
Duelists Aged 12 and Under will compete for new World
Championship
EL SEGUNDO, CA (September
28, 2011) –
Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. (Konami) is pleased to
announce the inaugural Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME (TCG)
Dragon Duel World Championship event for Duelists aged 12
and under (open only to those participants born in 1999 or
later). The Dragon Duel World Championship will be
held each year alongside the regular Yu-Gi-Oh! World
Championship.
“With years of steady growth and increased player
registration, we felt strongly that the time was right for
these young Duelists to have their own global event, thus
the Dragon Duel World Championship was created,” noted Yumi
Hoashi, vice president of Card Business for Konami Digital
Entertainment, Inc. “Expect to see Dragon Duelists
from around the globe journeying to the World Championship
event in 2012 to be crowned Yu-Gi-Oh! Dragon Duel Champion!”
The large presence of younger Duelists at the Yu-Gi-Oh!
Championship Series (YCS) and Regional Qualifiers have led
to the activation of this separate 12 and under (those born
in 1999 or later) Dragon Duel World Championship Event.
The two-day Dragon Duel World Championship Qualifier (WCQ)
will be held in North America at the annual WCQ in addition
to the main event, which is open for all ages.
Duelists can win an invitation to the Dragon Duel WCQ at any
Dragon Duel event, which are held at YCS events and select
Regional Qualifiers. In addition, any Duelist born in 1999
or later can use a standard WCQ invitation to compete in the
Dragon Duel WCQ instead. As the WCQ and Dragon Duel WCQ will
be held simultaneously, Duelists will not be able to
participate in both events at the same time.
Duelists unable to participate in the Dragon Duel
Championships can check-out live online coverage of these
events provided by Konami staff at
