http://www.chaosera.org/t42-battle-arena-rulesYou can also do Shadow Arena duels (only once you're in a dorm), these are the same as Battle Arena duels (BA's) but you bet DP for added risk. DP is the forum currency we use. Here's the link:
http://www.chaosera.org/t43-shadow-arena-rulesThen for tournaments, these are all hosted on the academy, we have several types...
Weekly BashEvery Monday night (8:00pm), this is a 16 person tournament, match format, you can use anything you like.
http://www.chaosera.org/t3495-weekly-bash-rules-and-informationDeck RouletteHeld every 2nd thursday. This is a themed event, different theme every time, 16 people, match format. You basically have 1 week to register and build a deck based on the current theme, then 1 week to duel through the bracket.
http://www.chaosera.org/t4687-deck-roulette-rules-and-informationYu-Gi-Oh! CEA Championship (Y.C.C.)This is our major event, similar to YCS. It's usually a 64 person tournament held twice a year. This is the most competitive event on the academy.
http://www.chaosera.org/t3689-ycc-rules-and-information#27841User EventsUsers also buy and host their own events. There is 1 or 2 coming very shortly.
On YGOPro you'll also find a Linux Server, this is a type of ranking system where you can duel and climb up a ladder. Just register a username and password on YGOPro, and you're good to go. It can take some getting used to.
For all events you need to be in a dorm. To do this you get tested by one of the light blue names you'll see around the Academy. A test consists of 2 matches, and will evaluate your dueling and deck building skills, and place you in a dorm of either Slifer, Ra, or Obelisk. To find out how you will be scored, visit this link:
