Stage 2: SJC Freeroll Playoffs
When: 9/9/2019 and onward, until the tournament concludes
How to enter: You will automatically be entered for being a winner's bracket or loser's bracket finalist in one of the four qualifiers above. You must submit your decklist by 9/12/19. Submit decklist to MMF via discord.
Simulator: DuelingBook.com only
Decks: Locked. You cannot change any cards in your deck between rounds. However, you may use a different deck than the one that you played in the qualifiers.
Rounds: Double elimination, no time limits. All rounds are played "non-live" (arrange a time with your opponent to play). All replays of your matches must be sent to staff.
Prizes: 1st place = SJC Dark End Dragon. If you wish, we will buy it back from you for $300, which is about 30% of its market value.
​Glitch/disconnect policy: Any provable glitches that render the game unplayable will result in a redo of the game in progress. Glitches caused by one particular player (such as the "hand reveal glitch") will result in that player being given a game loss. All disconnections will result in a game loss (unless they occur during sidedecking).
Expected total tournament duration: 15 days

What’s that? A fifth qualifier for the biggest online Yu-Gi-Oh! tournament of all time? That’s right, due to the fraudulent entry of a player who qualified in the winner’s bracket of SJC Freeroll Qualifier #2 and the losers bracket of SJC Freeroll Qualifier #3, we will be holding SJC Freeroll Qualifier #5! Any player who has not already qualified from the winner’s or loser’s brackets from SJC Freeroll Qualifier’s 1-4 is eligible to enter SJC Freeroll Qualifier #5.
 
When: Saturdays 9/7/2019 at 1 PM EST (10 AM PST, 6 PM UK time)

And look for metagame coverage/analysis of  the previous qualifiers coming this week to goatformat.com

It should go without saying that Sangan is one of the most versatile cards in Goat Format. Being able to search powerful cards like Sinister Serpent and Tsukuyomi is a huge deal and greatly increases the consistency of seeing those powerful monsters in a given Duel. However, Serpent and Tsukuyomi are not the only cards Sangan can search, and they most definitely should not be the only things you consider searching with the fiendish burger patty (as I affectionately like to refer to Sangan as). In this article, I will go over a list of some of the more common monsters Sangan can search, and when they would each be good to grab off of Sangan’s effect.
