Running a good online Yu-Gi-Oh! tournament, however, is easier said than done.
We expect to start running our first tournaments in early 2019. Why are we waiting until then? Two reasons: 1. Opportunity cost. In the beginning, we'd like to focus our time and energy on what's most important, creating high-quality Goat Format content. 2. We'd like to take some time to talk to the community and figure out how to run the perfect tournament that everyone will enjoy. We don't want to start off on the wrong foot with a mediocre tournament. Until then, we will be using this page to let the Goat Format community know about the Goat Format tournaments that other organizations are running. If you know of a Goat Format tournament coming up soon, let us know in the comments, and we'll be happy to advertise it. |
