Offical Konami Tournament Store and the Cossy System?

[Darko]

Hey there, I had a few questions regarding the store policy and plans regarding todays Official Konami Announcement.

Today Konami released a news announcement, regarding the official locations of Stores and Regionals in each state. It started with California and 4 regional locations and expanded from there. This is the official link to the store locations: http://www.yugioh-card.com/en/events/tournament_locations.html, and another link for the official regional locations: http://www.yugioh-card.com/en/events/regionals_locations.html

Each link requests emails from store locations that wish to be added. I believe registering to become a regional store or even an official store would do wonders for business. The Konami Website gets millions of hits and having our location posted on there would surely increase the turnout for tournaments, and the amount of people on the website. Furthermore, Konami has switched over to the new COSSY system, so becoming an official store would allow us to obtain ID's and have the current tournaments help everyones rankings.

I believe the application process is not complicated and they only require some shots of the store location to show it's a business. I'm also a lvl 1 Judge and would be willing to help in any way possible for us to have an official store/tournament.

I understand there are not many people on the forums currently, but any and all feedback from anyone who reads this on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Actually we are already listed, and I sent them an E-mail to fix the glitch.  They have us and Paradox in Fargo listed as North Carolina.

Oh wow that's great to hear.

Does this also mean we're going to be holding regionals form now on?

Also, concerning their new COSSY system. To the best of my knowledge, I believe the store is suppose to provide us with ID cards which we register online. Are we going to be getting those as well?

Sorry about all the questions, any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.

yes, but it takes a while to get the cards and get things set up.  It's already being worked on and players will be informed when everything happens
