ANAHEIM BECOMES CENTERSTAGE FOR A DUELING SHOWDOWN AS THE Yu-Gi-Oh! CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES ROARS INTO TOWN APRIL 9^TH – 10^TH

EL SEGUNDO, CA (March 28, 2011) – Thousands of Duelists will converge in Anaheim, California hopeful that their months of preparation will result in an epic win as they participate in the unrivaled Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series (YCS). Konami Digital Entertainment’s (Konami) premier-level Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME (TCG) event will be held at the Anaheim Convention Center April 9^th – April 10^th.

During its first West Coast stop this season, the YCS will be filled with experienced and budding Duelists vying for the elusive championship. Armed with powerful cards and revamped strategies, each Duelist will play-to-win, striving to be victorious in every round during the course of the two-day tournament. 

Pre-registration for YCS Anaheim will run from 1:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. April 8^th and resume promptly at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 9^th.  Round One will begin at 10:00 a.m.  The Top 16 YCS finishers, along with the top Duelists of the weekend’s Regional Qualifiers, earn invitations to participate in their respective 2011 World Championship Qualifier events, to be held later in the year.  Duelists, upon paying their registration fee, will receive five of the sold-out Storm of Ragnarok booster packs just for participating in Konami’s Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series.
