Changes

'''World Championship Qualifiers''' came up in 2010 as an official name for all '''National TournamentsChampionships''' and '''Continental Championships''' held in many countries around the world. '''National Tournaments''' Championship were held in selected countries by Konami, then occurred a '''Continental Championship''' for each continent or region which reserved seats for the [[World Championship]].While the National Tournaments Championships started out in 2003, the first Continental Championship was the [[European Championship|European]] one, which took place in Bochum, Germany on July 2006. 2009 was the year of the Central and South America Championships as well as the Oceania's. Last but not least US and Canada National were fused into the [[2012 North American Championship|North American Championship]]. Even if the name changed, the pattern is the same, as after the Nationals occur Continentals which reserve a limited number of seats for the World Championship: 6 from North-American WCQ, 5 from Japan, 4 from Europe, 2 from Oceania and 1 from Central America and South America. Also Hong Kong, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand and Taiwan haven't a Continental WCQ, but they can access World Championship through their Nationals.<ref name="wcq north america">[https://tcg.konami-europe.net/coverage/5388/history-of-the-world-championship-qualifiers/] History of the World Championship Qualifiers</ref>
