Hello kiddies!
I don't know how many of you are active in KCTAU, but for those who aren't and aren't sure what it is let me give you a brief history lesson. KCTAU is a place for dueling teams and academies to gather, exchange ideas, host wars or tournaments and they keep an official track of an academy/team's progress in said events.
With that out of the way I wanna talk about an academic event I've made possible with the help of Vem123, Kuroro Lucifer, King Kaiba, and Firestorm.
Do you guys remember the TDA World Cup? The one we're actually in the middle of running right now? If you are unfamiliar with it here are the rules:

::Concept::
The concept is simple. We are emulating the world cup with duels instead of soccer matches. If you know how the world cup tournament works then you'll know how this works if not then I will explain.
::Rules::
- Thirty-two players will sign up, and each player may choose to represent his/her country. We're pretty sure that there are less than thirty-two countries in TDA (I could be wrong) so a country may be represented more than once.
::First Stage::
- Four player will be randomly assigned to a group (total of eight groups) and each member of a group will have to face each other (total of three matches per member)
- Getting a win will earn you three points, a draw will get both players 1 point, and a loss will earn no points.
- At the end of all the matches the two players with most points out of each group will advance to stage two. In the event of a tie for points we will look at duels for and duels against (much like the GF and GA system)
- But wait it's impossible to get a draw in yugioh right? Wrong. This tournament will be special because every matches won't be best two out of three.
- Matches in this tournament will consist of four duels each, and the only way to win is to win 3 or 4 duels (3-1, 4-0) meaning that you can still get a 2-2 outcome which will result as a draw.
- You cannot stop dueling once you get three wins like you'd do in a regular two out of three match. You must duel your opponents four times in order to complete the match.
::Second Stage::
- Second stage will be a traditional sixteen player knock off tournament.
- In this stage we will revert to the traditional two out of three match system and the best duelist will win.
::Rewards::
Rewards may be picked by .
2nd Place:
- 500 SC + 1 SP
- Any banned card of his/her choice for the neo battle city tournament in addition to his draft pick choice.
3rd Place:
- Any banned card of his/her choice for the neo battle city tournament in addition to his draft pick choice.
::Sign Up Rules::
- This tournament will be a bit long so make sure to have time to duel if you will sign up.
- You must commit towards getting your matches done otherwise you will be subbed.
- Upon signing up you must join the following network:
TDA World Cup // No password
- We will try to assign groups based on time zones so make sure to post your GMT when you sign up.
- If you choose to represent a country make sure to tell us which country you'd like to represent.
::Groups::
::First Round::
Players will be allowed to duel every single person in their group. There will be no deadline for the time being so just look for the people in your group in the network (everyone has joined it) and duel away. Make sure to post your victories and losses.

So where am I getting at with this? Simple. With my help, this tournament has been adopted by KCTAU to be used as a legit World Cup Tournament, but for academies, and as the creators TDA will have the honor of hosting the first tournament here in TDA. You guys might be a bit confused so allow me to explain.
::How the KCTAU World Cup works::
There are currently three academies participating in this event: TDA, SDA, and YKJ. An additional academy may be added later though.
Each academy will send a specific amount of members (depending on their qualifier rounds) to register here at TDA where they will compete in a tournament like the world cup tourney we are currently hosting. Each member will represent their academy as well as a country of their chosing, and will duel to bring the title back home, but of course we won't allow them to do so without a fight! The tournament will be hosted every season (summer, fall, winter, and spring) and each season the tournament will be hosted in a different academy and next season TDA memebers will have to go to another academy and try to win the title and bring it back to TDA.
We will be hosting the first one so we must make sure to treat the representiatives from other academies with repsect when they come here to compete for their country/academy.
::How to qualify::
I will host a 32-man tournament and sign ups will work on a first come first served basis, except for the top seven who are in the current world cup (i am excluding flodian since he will be gone soon). The only way these people will not participate in this tournament is if they choose not to. Depending on how the qualifier tournaments go in SDA nad YKJ we will determine how many people will qualify for the world cup tournament since only 32 spots are available. We think that it will be between eight or twelve people per academy meaning the top eight in the 32 man tournament will automatically qualify for the world cup.
The tournament will be first come first served as mentioned earlier, BUT if we get 64 sign ups we will do a 64 man tournament.
::FAQ::
If you have any questions about this event this is the threat to post your questions in. Otherwise follow the sign up rules.
