==Retro Format==
 
 
'''Retro Format''' is a "mythical" type of rules based on prohibition and
 
restriction agreements for the latin Yu-Gi-Oh! community since 8 years ago,
 
totally diferent to another formats like '''[[Traditional Format]]''' or
 
'''[[Advanced Format]]''' updated to new cards such as tuners, but keeps it his
 
list of restricted and forbidden cards cuz it was not accepted by Konami's
 
people, and anyone can find it on net because its page was deleted in 2008. Is in
 
just the memory of who invented it: veteran players from Latin America.
 
 
==The old history==
 
 
The '''Retro Format''' is an game format created by a huge group of Latin
 
Americans fans candidates to YWCT 2004 (Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship Tournament).
 
Includes its own rules and list of restricted and forbidden cards, which require
 
the player to think more strategically rather than using massive clearance cards
 
like "Heavy Storm" or "Torrential Tribute". It was edited one last time in 2006
 
to add restricted and forbidden cards from the GX's generation in its list.
 
 
Many of the major Latin communities played in this format, even published lists
 
of rules and bans on forums and blogs, but after four years Konami removed all
 
that information after a small group participating in the YWCT 2008, asked to use
 
that format officially in his regional qualifying tournament. Konami declares
 
'''Retro Format''' like no-official in February 2008 and months after the "retro
 
revolution" begins. In all officials and no-officials online games veterans
 
players asked for Retro Players. After four years of discussions with Konami
 
Bosses, '''Retro Format''' was declared OFFICIAL by Konami in May 2010, but only
 
like a domestic format, that means that would not be used or allowed in official
 
tournaments.
 
 
==Rules==
 
 
To improve and streamline the gameplay, fans created simple rules that were

Revision as of 17:08, 25 July 2012

The Traditional Format was created as a counterpart to the Advanced Format, since some players, especially those that had been playing for longer, still wanted to play with the "Forbidden" cards. Traditional Format does not have a Forbidden List, instead possessing only Limited and Semi-Limited Lists, with all the Forbidden cards from Advanced Format placed in Limited.

Traditional Format isn't used very often in Regional Tournaments, and not at all in National Tournaments or World Championship Events.

The OCG does not use the Traditional List at all, and all OCG Konami Sanctioned Tournaments exclusively use the Advanced Format.
