Our National tournament is held in during July (previously mid December). It is the most prestigious tournament which attracts a large number of duellists. We have participants from other countries from time to time. One of the past winners was from Reunion Island. Our Grand Champion is an invitation-only tournament which comprises of past winners and special invitation. If you are in, then you are among the Elite duelist in Mauritius. Recently, we have been holding it during July.

The Adilsons Legend is a face-off match between the winner of the Grand Championship and the National winner. Recently, we have also been holding online tournaments and new face to face tournaments. Best advice we can give is for you to join our Yu-Gi-Oh! Whatsapp Group as the duelist day trade cards and it’s the place for up to date info about tournaments. We have a slight delay to communicate on the other platforms as the community is so engaging there, that we tend to forget the wider public in Mauritius.
