Tag Team Duel Rules
By: Cory Bergmann

1.	Each team may start out with a combined total of 12,000 life points, or 
they may have 8,000 life points each.
2.	Team members sit next to each other for the duel.
3.	Flip coin. 1 person calls it.
4.	If he gets it right he goes first. If he doesn't person who flipped coin 
will go first. (Coin flipper must be from opposite team.)
5.	Turns then alternate. Starting person is player 1, team member is player 
2. Person diagonal from player 1 is player 3. Person next to player 3 is 
player 4. Turns alternate like this. Player 1->Player 3->Player 2->Player 4.
6.	When each player is taking their first turn, he may not attack players 
that haven't had a turn yet.
7.	When players are playing with combined life points, they have a combined 
monster field(five monsters total for both people). Separate if separate 
life points.
8.	Players can have a total of 12 cards combined in their hands. (ex. if 
player 1 has 8 cards, player 2 can only have 4 cards at the end of his draw 
phase.) If a team is over the 12 card limit at the end phase they must 
discard down to twelve.
9.	Players may use magic and traps to help their partner. They also may 
sacrifice their partner's monsters for tributes/effects. (only if field 
combined)
10.	Any cards that have a set limit on how many turns it stays is for each 
opponent (ex. Player 1 plays SORL. Turn 1-player 3, turn two-player 4, turn 
three-player 3)
11.	Each player has five magic/trap zones for himself. If his magic trap is 
full, he may use his partner's magic/trap zone for cards if so desired.
12.	Any resurrection card that is designated for own graveyard only works 
for your partner's graveyard as well.
13.	Heavy storm and Harpie's feather duster works for both of opponents's 
field. (raigeki works here too if playing with separate life points)
14.	Fusion and ritual requirements can be used from both players' hands.
15.	anything that applies to opponent only can be used against them both. 
(ex. Confiscation. You can see both opponents' hands and discard a card 
from either of them. NOT BOTH)
16.	Team wins when their opponents' life points reach 0, they deck both 
people, they have all five pieces of exodia in one person's hand, they have 
final written out on one player's magic/trap zone.
For Separate life points only
17.	Each player has separate hands
18.	Separate monster zones
19.	can't use partner's monsters for tribute, or ritual requirements (may 
still use in fusion)
20.	can use monsters to block for partner if he doesn't have any monsters 
on the field
21.	must deplete both opponents' life points to 0 before victory is claimed.

Well that's it for now.
This should make Tag team duels a lot more easier to play.
