Wandering Duelist

Okay - In this revision, a typo was fixed and a necessary rule has been added.

                       YuGiOh! Tag Team Tournament Rules (Armada Version)


1. Each tag team starts a Duel with a shared Life Point score. (suggested score is 
16,000 ­ 20,000) 2. Victory Conditions include reducing a tag team’s Life Point 
score to 0 and/or reducing at least one opposing player’s deck to 0 cards up to 
the point of that player drawing a card.
3. Tag Team players alternate turns between themselves and their opponents:
Player A from Team X finishes his turn, Player B from the other Team Y goes next 
and so on.
4. Players may not declare attacks until all Players have begun a turn. The last 
player to begin a turn may start declaring attacks. Direct Damage from a card effect 
may not occur until the beginning of the first Player’s second turn.
5. A tag team shares a single Monster Card Zone separated into two parts: The Front 
Line and The Back Line. Each Line has 5 Monster Card Slots. Only monsters in the 
Front Line may be used to attack. Only monsters in the Back Line may be offered as 
Tribute or used as Fusion Material. A monster in the Back Line may not be attacked 
if there is a monster in the Front Line Slot directly in front of the Back Line 
monster.
6. Once per turn per card during the Main Phase, a Monster Card may be moved from 
one Line to the other if the Monster Card Slot directly in front or in back is 
unoccupied.
7. As long as a Monster Card/Token exists on the Back Line, Direct Damage to Life 
Points by a card effect is halved.
8. Trap cards that activate in response to attacks may be activated for an attack 
directed at a tag team partner’s card on the field or his/her Life Points­ ex. 
Magic Cylinder, Rush Recklessly.
9. Card effects that last a certain number of turns (i.e. Swords of Revealing
Light) count a turn for every individual affected Player’s turn, not every entire 
tag team’s turn.
10. Card effects that affect an opponent during his/her Standby Phase (i.e.
Graverobber’s Retribution or Dark Snake Syndrome) affect his/her tag team during 
both members’ turns.
11. Card effects activated from a card owned by a Player during his/her own Standby 
Phase (i.e. Sinister Serpent, Vampire Lord) are still activated only during his/her 
own Standby Phase.
12. Players may use their teammates’ monsters for a Tribute or Fusion Summon if 
permitted by their teammate. Control of the Fusion Monster belongs only to the 
player who performed the Fusion Summon.
13. Players do not share a Graveyard for card effects dependent on cards in the 
Graveyard.
14. Players may look at their teammates’ cards and consult each other for strategy.
15. Card effects depending on the number of cards in a player’s hand counts only 
for one player’s hand.
16. Card effects that discard a card from your opponent’s hand except for card 
effects that require discarding the entire hand affect only one of your opponents 
at a time.
17. Card effects in which individual slots on a Monster Card Zone are selected may 
affect only one Line, not both.
18. When a monster switches control to an opponent, it must be placed on a Slot in 
the opponent’s Front Line.
19. Tournament Restrictions/Rulings are based on current Upper Deck or Konami 
restrictions/rulings unless otherwise stated by the tournament judge(s).
