  • Dragon Ball Super Card Game Team Battle Rules
    Dragon Ball Super Card Game Team Battle Rules - How do Team Battles Work? Each team is comprised of three players who battle against each of the other players on the opposing team. The team with the most match wins is declared the winner. -Determining Teams and Matchups When players register their team, they decide who is Member A, Member B, and Member C. These positions cannot be changed and are fixed until the end of the tournament. When determining matchups for battles, Member A will always play against Member A from the opposing team, Member B will always play against Member B from the opposing team, and Member C will always play against Member C from the opposing team. - Deck Construction Rules ● Normal rules apply. Each player uses 1 Leader Card, a 50-card deck, and a 15- card side deck. ● Team Players can’t use cards that another team Player has in their deck. - OK: Player 1 has 4 copies of Senzu Bean in their deck. - Not OK: Player 1 has 2 copies of Senzu Bean in their deck, and player 2 also has 2 copies of Senzu Bean in their deck. -OK: Player 1 has 7 copies of Dragon Ball in their deck, and player 2 has 7 copies of Porunga’s Dragon Ball in their deck. -Not Ok: Player 1 has 7 copies of Dragon Ball in their deck, and player 2 has 7 copies of Dragon Ball in their deck. - Limited and banned card rules apply as normal. - Once all matches have concluded, the team with the most match wins is declared the winner.

  • Press Release
    Contact: Kristyn Souder Communications Director Email: [email protected] Phone: (267)536-9566 PRESS RELEASE Zenkaikon Convention to Bring Anime and Science Fiction Fans to Lancaster in March Hatboro, PA – January 21, 2013: On March 22-24, 2013, Zenkaikon will hold its seventh annual convention in a new location at the Lancaster County Convention Center in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The convention expects to welcome over two thousand fans of Japanese animation (anime), comics (manga), gaming, and science fiction to downtown Lancaster for the weekend-long event. Zenkaikon had typically been held in the Valley Forge area of Pennsylvania. However, with the conversion of the Valley Forge Convention Center to a casino and the continued growth of the event, Zenkaikon moved its convention to Lancaster. Many convention attendees don costumes of their favorite characters to attend the annual convention. Planned convention events include a variety of educational panels and workshops hosted by volunteers and guests; anime and live action screenings; a costume and skit competition (the "Masquerade"); a hall costume contest; performances by musical guests; a live action role play ("LARP") event; video game tournaments and tabletop gaming; a formal ball and informal dances; and an exhibit hall of anime-themed merchandise and handmade creations from artists. A number of Guests of Honor have already been announced for Zenkaikon 2013. John de Lancie, best known for his roles on Star Trek and Stargate SG-1, and more recently known for his role as Discord on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, will be hosting panels and meeting attendees. Prolific voice and live action actor Richard Epcar (Ghost in the Shell, The Legend of Korra, Kingdom Hearts) and actress Ellyn Stern (Robotech, Gundam Unicorn, Bleach) will also be participating in a variety of programming.
