The Maiami Championship is a Dueling competition in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime. The event is sponsored by Leo Corporation and is managed by the "Maiami Duelist Association".

The tournament is divided into three categories: "Junior", "Junior Youth" and "Youth", based on the contestant's age. Taking part in this tournament is the first step towards becoming a Professional Duelist.

Purpose

The Maiami Championship is a cover up plan designed by Declan Akaba. According to him, the tournament is actually an exam to select Duelists whom are strong enough to battle against his father, Leo Akaba.

Additionally, according to Declan, the upcoming Battle Royal Junior Youth finals has an alternative motive as well. That is to stop the upcoming Fusion Dimension invasion. In addition, the Top 8 of the Youth finals were more specifically deployed to Duel the Academy Duelists.

Requirements

To qualify for the championship, a Duelist must either have:

• Participated in at least fifty official Duels in a year, with a win rate of at least 60%.
• Six consecutive wins in official Duels.

Tournament Format

For the start of the tournament, Duelists were required to put their tournament ID's into their Duel Disk. A computer would then match that registered Duelist to another opponent. These two Duelists would have a match and the victor would advance to the next round.

In the first round, there were 32 matches for the Junior Youth division. In the second round, there are supposed to be 16 matches for the Junior Youth Division. However, one was defaulted after Dipper was captured by Selena.

Final 16 of Junior Youth

The final 16 Duelists are engaged in a Battle Royal around Paradise City using Wonder Quartet as the Action Field. The Duelists will also be able to find Pendulum Monsters around the city to assist them in their Duels. Similar to Duelist Kingdom and Battle City, Duelists must find at least two Pendulum Monster Cards to Duel against other opponents and wager them. Duelists participate in individual Duels, which can merge into Tag Duels. If a Duelist forcibly joins an already-existing Duel, they receive a 2000 damage penalty for intrusion. The winner will take the losing opponent's Pendulum Monster Cards and move on to the next opponent. The top 8 Duelists with the most Pendulum Monster Cards will move onto the next round. The Battle Royal will last for 24 hours. The Battle Royal began at midday with all Duelists leaving the stadium to Duel.

Cancellation

The surviving participants of the Junior Youth Division were Ken Umesugi, Makoto Takeda, Tsukikage, Dennis Macfield, Gong Strong, Yuya Sakaki, Shay and Zuzu Boyle. Rather than playing the Battle Royal as expected, they instead fended off an invasion of Standard Dimension by the Fusion Dimension that sealed the other eight participants into cards. Sora sealed Hikage, Yuri sealed Halil and Olga while the Obelisk Force sealed Ashley, Carl, Bram, Michio Mokota and Teppei Tairyobata. Ken Umesugi and Makoto Takeda Dueled Yugo, but were defeated by him off-screen. Additionally, while Zuzu Boyle survived, she was transported with Yugo to the Synchro Dimension due to her bracelet and initially assumed by the other contestants to have been sealed in a card as well.

After the Battle Royal ended, Henrietta and Declan officially cancelled the Maiami Championship to reveal to the public the existence of the Fusion Dimension invaders as well as the Lancers.
