Duelist Festival FUKUOKA 2027: Konami sets ID, NEURON and entry rules

The calculator requirement can be met with the "Duelist Device" or the NEURON function. Item needs follow the Shop Event Tournament Rules.

Photo ID is required and may be checked at random. Accepted forms are a driver's license, passport, My Number Card (Japan's national ID card), or a student ID that carries a photo.

Entry checks and prohibited items

Baggage is inspected at entry. Prohibited items include carry cases (suitcases), firearms, bladed items such as swords, knives, scissors, cutters and sewing needles, poisons and drugs, lighters and fire or explosive items, hammers, screwdrivers, chains, ice picks, injection needles, drumsticks, bats, golf clubs, bamboo and wooden swords, alcoholic drinks, and anything the organizer deems dangerous.

Anyone found with prohibited items may be expelled at once and the event may be cancelled. They may also be banned from all future official Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG and Rush Duel events and tournaments. Flagged items can instead be discarded in a disposal box at the entrance.

Leaving the venue, including through the re-entry gate, means passing inspection again, and long entry times are expected. Only people who clear every check are admitted. Overnight queuing and very early arrival at or around the venue are discouraged.

Conduct, filming and cancellations

Trading and selling inside the facility are strictly prohibited. Alcohol and smoking are banned, with smoking allowed only in designated areas, and eating is limited to designated spaces, although drinks are allowed.

Photos of the venue are allowed if they avoid showing other guests, but video recording inside is prohibited. A participation wristband must be worn until going home, or entry is refused.

Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd. and approved parties will film and photograph the event for broadcast, news, advertising and internal reports, so attendees may appear in them.

Entry applications cannot be cancelled after the application deadline. Winners of the entry draw who do not attend cannot book event entries for a certain period.

The event may be changed or cancelled in cases of force majeure, government or facility requests, or the company's circumstances. Notices will go out on @YuGiOh_OCG_INFO and @YuGiOh_RUSHDUEL, and cancellation handling will be announced later.

The organizer is not responsible for theft, loss or accidents caused by ignoring staff instructions. No changing rooms are provided, and changing in restrooms is discouraged. No compensation for transport or lodging is given if the event is cancelled or postponed.

Context

TCGKing's recent Yu-Gi-Oh! coverage has included reported card leaks, such as reported IMPH cards. This notice is confirmed and covers logistics rather than cards.

What is still unknown

Further details of the event content are to be announced later.

What it means for players

• Link your Konami Card Game ID to the NEURON app early, since the app is required.
• Bring accepted photo ID and leave suitcases and other restricted items at home.
• Do not plan on trading inside the venue, and do not queue overnight.
• Entry applications cannot be cancelled after the deadline, and no-shows at a won draw face a booking penalty.
