Frequently Asked Questions
Additional Information
Q: We want to join as a group, can we instead buy multiple products amounting for example good for 5 players for us to join?

Q: Are we going to have pre-registration, for players who are far away but is willing to join?
A: Yes. With that being said, players who are interested in joining but are far away (even if not) would be required to fill up a Google form that will be released by our Official Representative Carlito S. Del Mundo, which includes your choice of product, photo or receipt, and mode of payment.
Q: I'm coming from a very far place. What would happen if I went late?
A: Unfortunately, you won't be able to participate nor get the entry prize, if you cannot submit your decklist on time. We recommend preparing at least 5 hours of early time to be at the venue for deck checking to make sure your entry is validated.
Q: Can I use Class A/ Korean/ TCG English cards in the event?
A: Unfortunately, No. Only OCG Japanese, OCG Asian English, and OCG Chinese Cards are legal for use in this event.
Q: With the "chance to be seeded in future international events/qualifiers, what do you mean?
A: This means that the winners will have a chance to participate in the World Championships and/or Battle Nexus Asia Grand Finals if there is one. This is subject to update and will be announced by Konami Asia in the Future.
Q: With the "minimum purchase of products, does that mean I can just go buy some items in Courtside, that are mentioned in the mechanics, and then I can already secure my slot in the event?
A: Yes and No. Starting March 2, if you happen to buy items equal to or more than the specified amount required to purchase, you are now qualified to join as long as you save the official receipt as proof of purchase. However, this does not mean you are already secured to join since you will still need to sign up and fill up the Google forms that would be provided by the pre-registration.

Q: Would there be any special priorities given during the pre-registration?
A: Chances are yes. Players who actively participate in Courtside's events will be given opportunities to save their slots before the event.
