Format & Regulations
General
| Format | Individual & Team League |
|---|---|
| Eligibility |
The event is grouped into 3 regions:
Anyone may participate in any Regional Championships held in the same region as where the participant is residing (Asia-Oceania AO, Europe EU or North/Latin America NA/LA). |
| Language | Only English edition cards may be used. |
| Cards |
Cards from new expansions are legal to use from the expansion’s official release date. Cards from expansions which are available after Sneak Preview / Pre-sale events are not allowed for use in the tournaments until the expansions are officially released. |
| Deck | A player must use the same deck throughout a tournament. No switching of cards is permitted in between games within a tournament, except for the situations specified in the Sideboard Ruling for BFE Best of 3 tournaments. |
| Sleeving |
Fighters are required to use opaque card sleeves so that the back of cards cannot be easily distinguished.
BFE: Players may use different card sleeves from their deck for their Flag. |
| Deck Registration |
It is mandatory to register the deck (submit the deck list) upon tournament registration. Discrepancies between the deck list and actual deck used in the tournament may result in a penalty. |
| Entry Fee |
Free If the Regional Championship is held inside another convention, the entry fee to the convention may be applicable. |
| Time-up Policy |
Players have 10 minutes to finish the 3 extra turns. After 10 minutes or end of the third turn, whichever comes first, the winner is decided in the following manner:
・Cardfight!! Vanguard: The player with less damage wins the game. If the damage is the same, the game ends in a double loss. In the top-cut, after 3 extra turns, the game will be decided by sudden death.(Refer to Bushiroad TCG Advanced Floor Rules for more details) |
| Deck Check | To avoid disputes and cases of cheating, we would require all participants to fill in Deck Registration Forms, which include their deck list and a media release agreement before registering for the tournaments. |
Team League
-
All 3 players must be playing a different clan, flag of main deck or title from their team mates.

Attack on Titan, BanG Dream, BanG Dream (X) - All 3 players of a team will play 1v1 matches against the other 3 players of the opposing team simultaneously.
- The team with more match wins across its players wins. If both teams have the same number of match wins due to time-up, both teams lose.
- No communication is allowed between players to ensure a fair environment for everyone.
Sideboard Ruling (For Future Card Buddyfight Best of 3 rounds)
- Fighters must use the same Buddy and Flag throughout the whole tournament. Fighters cannot change the Buddy or Flag between games.
- Fighters can have 0-10 cards for their sideboard.
- The 4 per deck rule applies to the main deck and sideboard as a whole. (i.e. You may only have up to 4 of a certain card between your deck and sideboard. Like normal games, your Buddy does not count towards the 4 per deck.)
- Between games 1-2 and 2-3 of each round, fighters may use cards from their sideboard to change their deck.
- After sideboarding, the deck needs to be in a legal state and the sideboard can be no more than 10 cards.
- Fighters must return deck to pre-sideboard state before each new round.
