75th SHONEN JUMP Championship - EDISON NJ

[purity_reloaded]

Hell yeah I'm coming home!

I've been waiting for this to go up all day - anyways, for all of you who've been complaining that there isn't an SJC in the New York area, well, guess what.

You get the 75th Anniversary SJC, which I've been saving for you.

It's a lot of trouble getting events this size set up near NY, so I'm counting on you to not prove me wrong. I think this can be the biggest event ever. I think it can top Los Angeles.

We'll have more details soon - including the special, 75th anniversary event tournament structure, prizing, and side events. For now, keep April 24th -25th open on your calendars, and start figuring out how you're going to get here.

OK now I've explained the round format for this SJC several times, and yet people are still confused. I think because they are not reading what I wrote on the subject. Instead, they are reading/listening to what people who have read/heard something from someone who is not me has written/said on the subject, and they are running about and spreading it to other people.

Trying to explain this is like that scene in Monty Python's "Holy Grail" where the guy is trying to get the guards to stay with the prince, and they just don't get it and keep trying to follow him.
:<


ANYWAYS

ONE

MORE

TIME
Let's have another go


at explaining

:eek:THE FORMAT FOR THE 75TH SJC:eek:


this is the new and improved version, based on the sheer inability of so many people to understand what I wrote before. It will go up in the FAQ. If you guys can't figure it out from this, I'll give up and admit defeat.



As we are expecting a high turnout for this event, the 75th SHONEN JUMP Championship – Edison, NJ will be run using a special format.

Saturday, April 24th – Day 1:
SHONEN JUMP Championship Duelists will play 8 rounds of Swiss. If there are any rounds remaining in the tournament, all Duelists with a record of at least 6 wins and 2 losses, or the top-ranked 128 Duelists at the end of these 8 rounds (whichever number of Duelists is higher), will qualify to return to complete those rounds in the SHONEN JUMP Championship main tournament on Day 2.

Sunday, April 25th—Day 2:
All qualifying Duelists (X-2 or higher, or the Top 128, whichever is more) will return to play out the remaining rounds of Swiss, based on the original enrollment of the tournament as described below.
Players will continue on Day 2 with their previous records and Decks – these rounds will not be treated as a new tournament.
When all remaining Swiss rounds have been played out, a Top 32 cut will be selected based on final standings.

These 32 players will then play off in Single Elimination to determine a winner.

• 129 – 256 Players: 8 Rounds of Swiss (8 rounds on Day 1, cut to Top 32 on Day 2)
• 257 – 512 Players: 9 Rounds of Swiss (8 rounds on Day 1, 1 round on Day 2, cut to Top 32)
• 513 – 1024 Players : 10 Rounds of Swiss (8 rounds on Day 1, 2 rounds on Day 2, cut to Top 32)
• 1025 - 2048 Players: 11 Rounds of Swiss (8 rounds on Day 1, 3 rounds on Day 2, cut to Top 32)
• 2049+ Players: 12 Rounds of Swiss (8 rounds on Day 1, 4 rounds on Day 2, cut to Top 32)

Duelists should take this schedule and format into account when planning their travel for this event.

[Average Joe]

... excited. Very much excited.

So awesome. Thank you, Julia (and the rest of KDE-OP!)

[JayTheChargerFan]

Cool......

[Manjoume Thunder]

This is arguably the best news I've read all day. That definitely made my day, time to start saving up and make travel plans. Also it seems Julia forgot to make note that this will be the first SJC under the new ban list unless there's one planned for March? Can't wait for April to come around looking forward to this one certainly. :D

Send an e-mail to us-opsupport@konami.com and explain in detail what is going on. The e-mail will be forwarded to the proper department and will be investigated.

[Gordon Gekko]

Cool stuff, I hope I can go to this as well.

[Sintaro]

Omfg Yes the whole 518 area is in there!!!!

[Manjoume Thunder]

But does anyone who lives in that area or is familiar with that area know exactly how someone in Manhattan, New York can travel out there "bus or train wise". I don't have the luxury of having a car. But definitely want to attend this SJC.

[Dark Lotus]

Assuming I can get off of work, I'm going to try an judge. This is going to be big.

[purity_reloaded]

NJ Transit website has bus schedules, etc.

It was very difficult to find a venue of the right size at the right time at the right price. A lot of people worked hard to make this event happen, so I expect to see every Yu-Gi-Oh! player in the tri state area here, to help me prove it was worth it.

Take the train to metuchen then taxi I guess ;x. Any idea what convention center itll be in.

[Krelian1]

Thank you, seriously. Not only was NYC desperately in need of a Jump, it gets the 75TH! Wow.

It's going to be held according to the Konami website at the New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center. The website they have has directions but only by car it seems: http://www.njexpocenter.com/maps-directions.html

This will be my very first shonen jump, and could very well be the biggest one up to date. Definitly going to be a fun event

[JoeLewis]

This Jump is going to be a friking Zoo.. Its basically like the East Coast War. We have been waiting for a East Coast jump since Philly.

[AAalways7]

So Pumped For This!

Dude, we've gotta do some major prep. lol




Julia, Konami OP staff. You have no idea how much this means to players like us here in NJ. We owe you a debt we can never repay. Say the event does become larger than SJC LA. Will the event be split into 2 smaller pools or will it remain a giant event?

We haven't announced details about the event such as tournament structure. Stay tuned to www.yugioh-card.com for updates. Julia does a great job putting together these SJC FAQs. All your questions will be answered once the FAQ goes up. Don't expect the FAQ to go before Nashville. Our main focus right now is the next SJC.

[Christian]

That's cool. I'll be watching like Batman over Gotham. =P

I'm so excited that I can't sleep!

[J3WZ1LL4]

Most def gonna be there.
Best friends dad lives 12.5 miles away from the jump
:D

[gateguardian44]

Methinks it'll please Ms. Hedberg if I judged this SJC... I DO need a judge shirt... I don't feel comfortable wearing my navy blue sweater as a judge shirt... Now how to get there...

[Deck-Crafter001]

I love you Julia.

This is going to be gigantic. I'm able to go to one more Jump before college too, I like that =]

Maybe this time I'll get a deck profile.

[J3WZ1LL4]

^^^^ needs to judge this sjc
since he actually knows his rulings :D

and you know you could just pull the david bui and take a greyhound there

[NeXusFrank88]

Julia worked really hard in getting NJ/NY an SJC. Though alot of us contributed in making it happen, Julia planted that seed, especially in making it the 75th SJC. :)

[Deck-Crafter001]

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this went over 2000 people considering SJC LA. I know tons of people who have just been itching for a good ol' East Coast Jump. I'd be really surprised if there were under 1500.

Traffic is probably going to suck really bad in getting there ._.

With all the hard work you guys do you most definatly deserve to go home everyonce in awhile :D
Plus It'll be cool to leave the South for the second time in my life the first being a PkMn tounament long ago in, surpisingly, Jersey x]

[BTALeader]

HOLY CRAP!!! I CAN ACTUALLY MAKE THIS ONE!!!! *has evil plans* Me and my crazy crew can go!

[Fluffanator7777]

Hopefully they'll have a special 75th SJC playmat. Like they did for Costa Mesa.

[James89]

If this does equal the size of LA, there should be a top 32

[evil0108]

Expect to see a different tournament format for this event, yes.

Yup! It's an open tournament, and there will be lots and lots of side events as well. Vendors, trading, and more.

[TacoKing]

As an experienced traveler to the tri-state area, what's the best airport to fly into? Newark is closer to the venue, but JFK and LaGuardia seem to have cheaper flights to there.

[r3skyline]

overpriced vendors....lol j/k. i havent been to a jump since seattle. lol

There's a Airport in Edison

[DonZaloog1227]

I will try to go to this. It's really far from MA and I don't have a car so idk how it's going to play out.

[Phoenix7]

Julia and everyone from the KDE Stafff thank you very much
for making this happening...:)
im sure im not the only one xcited for this event
alot of us have been waiting fo something xplosive like this to happen
and we wont dissapoint you.....

[Aresstar5]

I seriously believe if the cards r placed right and people really all make the initative to go to this like they did LA, this will break over 1800 people easily, maybe even 2000 people. Our regionals in this northeast area ALONE get over 350 people as is. And thats like one area without all the rest going. (Penn regional didnt get many NE players at all at that). NE and northeast alone will produce over 900 people easily...lets double that!

Julia thank you for finally getting a shonen jump in mine and kris ferber's back yard lmao!

[+Quack.]

I'd like to personally thank you for finally giving the North East what they've wanted for a while now. I'm almost 100% sure I know where this will be held, but I'll keep my mouth shut. The only thing that is discouraging is that the north east is simply getting one large event while the rest of the nation is getting jumps constantly (or as constantly as Konami has jumps). Just because this is a huge step forward, doesn't mean the north east will get events as much as other areas in the future.

I hope this is some kind of test that the north east needs to prove to have jumps and major events more often around here.

[Holy Cheetos]

Totally should've been in New Orleans so Julia could get her drink on on Bourbon Street after a long day of judging.

your better off going to laguardia or JFK if you have a ride out. Cab fairs are INSANE and unless your saving a whole lot you should just go to Newark

[Music Junky GS]

OMFG YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!

[Mantracker]

Awesome

I will try to make this

[DmageW]

you have trainstations in Metuchen, Woodbridge, and MetroPark that are the closest ones. From those stations, you are looking at also paying 14-18 bucks for a cab.

there is no edison airport. Newark is the closest and easiest airport. jfk and lga are pretty far. if you need taxi service, use Woodbridge Checker (phone number will be posted a week before jump).

I live like 5-10 mins from here, should be fun!!!

oh, and i predict Tim Howell will be winning this.

[Dakota123]

since im not gonna to nats this year imma DEFIANTLY try to make this

Thanks for the info including how much it would coast taxi wise. Do you know how far the bus stations are from the center? I just want to weigh all my options but it seems like the train is the best bet at this point.

[purity_reloaded]

Balance the cost of flight against cost of getting to Edison.

I kind of never like to fly into Newark if I can help it, but that's my own personal bias. Sorry Newark :<
It's probably the best option here, though.

I'll get to work on the FAQ for this event as soon as I'm done with Nashville, and I'll include a lot of travel info.

Julia, I was that really tall person with like the 3 dark ends that kept asking to use your screw driver lol in LA in case u remember.

Listen we are freaking out here its been years for us really and even Philidelphia was quite a drive. We're going to have probably about 50 people staying in mine and kris ferber's area the night before for parties just because this is literally a 2 hour drive on one road thats it. Lol. I can promise its easily breaking 1500. NE events have been having trouble holding everyone and to my knoledge there was A LOT (100+ maybe) that got rejected at a recent regional due to space. I predict that the NE area ALONE will really produce anywhere from 700-900 people easily. Thats not even including all parts of NY which can make this easily. This will shatter 1800 easily and maybe even 2000. Its going to be insane and its the most fitting place for the 75th shonen jump championship!!!!!

[Deck-Crafter001]

Hell at the last CT Regs they had to cap the number due to fire codes (Around 230)

[Aresstar5]

Btw stupid question but nashville is number 74 and not 73 correct????

Ohhh I remember you. I will have to bring the screwdriver to NJ.

I think if anywhere can break the last record, this will be it.

Come on, seriously...let's set a new record. :D

[Dark Fiend]

Hi Julia, I passed the Judge Test a long time ago and received the email about joining the Judge program a while back. The only problem is that the email for some reason erased by itself and I was never able to register. I was just wondering if you could possibly send me your email address using the private messaging so that I could send information about myself. My email address is Lmkl18@aol.com

Thank you in advance.

[purity_reloaded]

Btw stupid question but nashville is number 74 and not 73 correct????

You could actually count it as both - technically, SJC Houston 2008 was never supposed to happen.

I know you're asking to find out if there's one on for March.

Our team hasn't scheduled an SJC for March, so enjoy spring break (if you have it, when you have it).

Lmao you're gonna be needing to bring a lot more than a screwdriver to this. Try bringing a bag of popcorn and sitback and watch as New England's Finest places multipule people in Day 2 again, and keep the gold right in the area where it belongs! In Los Angeles we placed two members (Dan Rose and Kris ferber) in the top. You bounty'd another one of our team members Will Read. The impact we're going to make in NJ will be much bigger than the impact we made in LA. Thats why we're so excited because its finally our home turf so to speak!

A new record will be broken easily!

[breakerDS]

Definitely going y'all!

[prophecy250]

Newark is a good airport to fly into. From there, you can take a shuttle to the NJT Northeast corridor line and get off at the Edison, Metropark, or Metechen stops. Link (http://www.njtransit.com/rg/rg_servlet.srv?hdnPageAction=AirportConnectionsTo)

I'm probably going to this. I think my semester will be done by then.

It helps if I know your name - it's going to be very hard to choose people when I'm looking out on a crowd of 1800 players. Lately I've been relying very heavily on the All Players List to help me make my selections. I guess I could get on the mike and say "OH AND THAT GUY OVER THERE WITH THE ULTIMATE TYRANNO HAT" but you'd really be surprised how hard it is to notice anyone in a really, really big event.

I am 6'3, so i think I could stand out(height wise) and my name is pretty uncommon and stands out lol.

[gateguardian44]

I wonder how much you need to stand out in order to be added to the bounty. Because I've got some fricking awesome ideas for standing out. =P

I thought I stood out, not to mention it was my birthday during SJC Columbus (more like the Monday after) and THAT didn't even get me a bounty... It was someone else's birthday and they got a bounty...

Makes me real sad...

Could some please tell where the cheapest place to buy tickets is at thanks.

lol I'll send you a PM if your box is ever empty as the time draws closer because I know you've got a bunch of stuff going on right now. My buddy and I thought it'd be funny if we showed up as Rated RKO (it's a wrestling thing). Either that or I'll show up in a ****load of Eagles gear. =P E A G L E S EAGLES!

Priceline is the cheapest place to buy tickets online. I have yet to pay over $200 on a round trip

[NeXusFrank88]

I usually go to Kayak for tickets as they compare with other website like Orbitz and Priceline.

I am suprised no one mentioned that DED ran its round and it may be time for the release of a new prize card.... This is after the new Banlist takes effect as well, hmm.. No LS topping anymore? *hehe*

Thats why I am excited also (besides the obvious fact its in NJ) that this is also the first shonen jump after the new ban list, so everybody will be watching closely to what tops.

there will be a new jump card at this event

I turned it in to the Tournament Organizer who was in charge of the lost and found. I do not know what happened to it. Thank you so very much for turning it in.

I will see you at Edison, though I think you and your crew should definitely go to Nashville. :D

[Aznxrune]

Julia, I was that really tall person with like the 3 dark ends that kept asking to use your screw driver lol in LA in case u remember.

Listen we are freaking out here its been years for us really and even Philidelphia was quite a drive. We're going to have probably about 50 people staying in mine and kris ferber's area the night before for parties just because this is literally a 2 hour drive on one road thats it. Lol. I can promise its easily breaking 1500. NE events have been having trouble holding everyone and to my knoledge there was A LOT (100+ maybe) that got rejected at a recent regional due to space. I predict that the NE area ALONE will really produce anywhere from 700-900 people easily. Thats not even including all parts of NY which can make this easily. This will shatter 1800 easily and maybe even 2000. Its going to be insane and its the most fitting place for the 75th shonen jump championship!!!!!

LOL...I still beat you with Ojama's during DSF format but here to hoping we make it to the top!

When you get a hotel, I want you're opinion on my deck before we go in for day 1, if not i'll scramble and make something in 10 minutes again >_>

i predict 1200 for this event

not much like the LA championship


You're kidding right? This will be packed like LA, Everyone from NE is itching to get some competitive play in, I Know I have...I'm driving to NY next week, then to Maine the week after...we don't get much but it's just knowing a large Tourny will get people wanting to go. NY alone can bring 100-200 from each part easy just like Aresstar5 said...there are also the the west coast and foreigners, easy 1800



Oh we're getting a new prize card right? Something WORTH playing for?

[DonZaloog1227]

SO HAPPINESS! I Will be there!

I'll see you there man.

You can't join the jump day2 (you have to qualify in Day1) but you can come and play in side events in day2 which is fun and you can get points towards the side event prize card.

I think this will be bigger then costa mesa (1250+), but I don't think it can break LA. You just can't beat caly sized jumps. LA had nothing special about it and it broke the world record.

The SHONEN JUMP Championship consists of the Main Event and different Side Events. You do not need to participate in the Main Event in order to enjoy the weekend. There will be plenty of Side Events going on both Saturday and Sunday, each with different start times. You are more than welcome to show up on Sunday and participate in one or more Side Events. As far as the Main Event goes, you will have to participate on Saturday in order to be invited back to participate in the Main Event on Sunday.

Actually, you can beat them. If you run the numbers on previous attendances at JUMPs, the average for California is 656 attendees, while the average for the tri-state area (Philly, Jersey, and Columbus) is 663.

LA was special, too! It had the videogame previews and the debut of Turbo Pack 2.

The East Coast is much more densly populated than the west coast. We have a lot more people concentrated into a small amount of space, moreso than the California, Texas(this can be argued) etc,. This could easily get 1600 due to the fact that is not too far for anyone on the East Coast along the shore line. North US Yu-Gi-Oh has a lot of people we just had the largest regional (philly) so. Its up in the air

Don;t really care about grammar, tired from snow.

[DuelistKing!]

This jump is going to be packed and challenging with all the tri-state area players. I'm going to be there. This is going to be an amazing jump.

Oh looks like you have a point I just started going to jumps and playing competitive in Costa Mesa so the last 3 socal jumps are the 3 largest there is to date and I guessed SJC South San Francisco was small (620) because of the transition from UDE to KDE.

I hope it beats LA so that yugioh can break another record and make it a normal thing of Jumps being 800+.

Julia , know of any nearby hotels ?

the raritan center expo center holds ALOT of people and there are conventions there all the time.

in the area, right in raritan center, you have a holiday inn, hilton garden, sheraton, and an extended stay. within a 5-10 min driving distance, you also have a marriot, hampton inn, homestead estates, and a few truck stop motels i forgot the names of.

hopefully drastic changes to the banned/restricted list make this jump interesting.

this can easily break California. You easily get 150-250 at a regional at kings games or brothers grim and thats just some from the island. The jump attracts upstate, tristate etc. It should easily jump over 1000

[+Quack.]

Those are New York regionals, not east coast regionals. This will be the biggest jump of all time.

[purity_reloaded]

Biggest space of any SJC so far! I really do think this area can break the record set at Los Angeles, and I'm hoping the players won't prove me wrong.

I've been wrapping up the Nashville details so haven't looked into it, but it should be fairly easy to research online.

most regionals can't allow more than 2XX because of fire safety policies so it does depend of the place...but considering all the mid-atlantic,new england, west coast, AND foreigner this is going to be pretty big

can we get a hint of what the new card is Please?

Thanks

I would pick the jump of course but it depends. If your going with family or w/e cause id feel bad because how would you explain you would rather go play a childrens card game in a different state then go on vacation with them. Other than that you should come.

[r3skyline]

well like my daughter and wife will be with me, its cool cuz we'll be close to NY, so can visit the sites and eat some great food, but disneyland will be mainly for the daughter. so a bit conflicted.

Well, it's $135 for me to bus it if I buy 3 weeks in advanced... but then I'd need to find a way to get from Newark to Edison since that's the closest Greyhound can get me... Hmmm... I don't know how this is going to pan out...

Not to mention how much money I'll get for sponsorship... I definitely want to drive there first and foremost and bus if I have to...

[Garren LaFond]

I am ready for a massive amount of people at this SJC, and i really do credit Julia and the rest of the OP staff over there at Konami for making this event so close to sooooo many players ;)

This is only a two and a half hour drive from my house i am estatic!

Hoping to be there as a judge!

gawd, didnt get our return in time, we're getting it tues now cuz of a f* up by the ppl who prepped it. ugh.

I'd say you'd have to use a cab to get down or find a friend close who can pick you up.

Honestly, if you have a car bring it. It'd be easier than busing and needing a cab to your hotel.

Julia, can you give us a little insight as to what will be new and awesome for this event? It's my last tournament so I figure I might as well go out with a bang. =P Honestly the game has changed so much from what I remember it's kinda like Power Rangers when I was little. It started out awesome but then as season progressed and things changed I started losing interest. Anyway, now I'm ranting so Ill end it with, I cannot wait for this event.

I'd suggest you get a hotel. The rates are not too bad in the area, and these events can go until late in the evening. You are going to be very tired, and I don't really like late night public transportation.

Plus, what if you make Day 2, then a travel delay knocks you out of the top 16 playoff?

Not yet, we're having a meeting about the event later today. I know what we've put down on the list as wanting to do, but I don't know what has actually made the cut at this point.

I'll see if we can make any new announcements though. I'm excited for this event, not just because I wanna go back home.

Extended Stay America Edison - Raritan Center

hit me up.

[Sand-Trap]

I'm staying at the Sheraton, four minutes from the venue, at $60/night including taxes. So. Awesome.

[gateguardian44]

Well, I'm going to be finalizing the staff next week, so you might want to get that second application in sooner rather than later.

In that case... *sends email*

How many are staying in that room ? cause at hotels.com that hotel is $129 nightly average.

I meant that the hotel room, without splitting, is $60/night. Priceline is amazing.

[Victor Judge]

I'll definitely be applying to work this jump. However, I plan on waiting until I finish working the Nashville jump, since I am still a new judge and need to prove myself before I become regularly scheduled for large events.

[Musiqman23]

This is going to be a great tournament. I'm anxious to see what new decks pop up in this format and i'm anxious to see the innovation of alot of players.

Get that Application in soon. Julia said she's gonna try to finalize the staff some time next week.

For everyone flying into Newark Airport for the jump.

You can hop on the train at the station there, get a ticket for Metuchen Station. Once you get there, wait for the 813 bus. It'll take you straight to FIELDCREST AVE. & NORTHFIELD AVE. After that walk about a mile down the road and you're there.

There's a bunch of hotels there, as already stated.

[The New Kid]

Well, I'll be taking a road trip from college in NH to this, SO EXCITED!

Is this the only way to get there. I'm staying at

1 Fieldcrest Ave
Edison 08837

If you're IN Raritan Center, you're already in the convention area, just look for all the other yugiohz ppl walking from/to the area. If you go to the yugioh event site, you can look up the actual site and the address.

na, I mean are their shuttle services in the airport to Edison or what other way is there to get from the airport in newark to edison. You mentioned the train station, is it at the airport or ??

[alexis`on`fire]

i haven't checked out the venue or any prices yet but I know im gonna find something soon.

The Airport in Newark has a monorail that goes to the train station. That station will bring you to Metuchen train station. Then you wait for the above bus.

DO NOT GO TO THE EDISON TRAIN STATION. You will be even FARTHER away then you want to be.

I'm sure there's a taxi or something from Newark, but it'd cost FAR more.

Looks like Madrid got a 2200 player Magic Tournament, I wonder if we can beat that.

[Never4ever]

Are you prepared if we do?

Like, what if the attendance is roughly 2300? Would you have the space and staff for such a turnout?

Wonder if that means it would go 13/14 rounds :eek:

I am pretty sure that Julia has already told us in the thread that with this Venue, they've selected more space than any other Shonen. I'm not sure though. (Julia you can correct me if I am wrong please:P)

And 13 or 14 Rounds would be crazy. We all know its going to be packed. They way it is going to look though, we may even have to wait until Day 2 for the last of the Swiss Rounds. At the 2009 Nats, the rest of the Swiss Rounds were on Day 2. But, if there ARE like 2300-2500 people or something like that, and we DO have like 13 Rounds, DAM thats going to be a lonnggg dayyyy. Day 1 would be Round 1 - Round 8 or something. Then Round 9 - Round 13 would be on Day 2. Or something close to that.

Oh and hey Julia, is there any announcements you can tell us yet? Such as more info on the "special" tournament structure exclusive to the 75th? Or the highly-anticipated New Prize Card?:P

*cough*Trishula*cough* lol.

[PJ]

13/14 rounds is nothing guys, we had something like that for the European Championsips in 2008 ;)
Can you imagine if this was a 3 day Jump? :p

Yeah, this is the biggest space we've secured for any SJC so far.

Meeting was postponed til this week, so I've nothing really new to share with you. With Nashville out of the way now, we'll be able to get everything ready to go for NJ and provide you with the exciting details you crave.

[+Quack.]

the convention center is huge, there is space for more than 2300 people.

i can tell u that first hand because ive been to it a few times :)

Can you imagine if this was a 3 day Jump? :p

Really PJ? I didn't know that. I could just imagine a 3 Day Jump.. Ihh.. that'd be such a Jump. It is already going to so much Yu-Gi-Oh! packed into 2 days. The revealing of the new price card, game previews, the first jump of the new format, probably some nice announcements, possibly the biggest jump so far, and plenty more I am sure. I could just imagine...... The 75th Anniversary 3-Day SHONEN Jump Championship..haha Also, you're going to the this PJ correct? I've heard alot of good things about you on here and I'd like to meet you and maybe duel a few if there's time.

This being the biggest space so far is definitely good news there, Julia:P. And knowing that the meeting is this week is also good news! Finally we'll be able to get the "exciting details we crave"! So excited about this Jump and probably every single other Yu-Gi-Oh! Player is as well. Especially us players on the East Coast!

[LiquidOcelot]

This is crazy but I've never really been that interested in going to Shonen Jumps, that is, until I went to Nashville and now I"M HOOKED!!!! New Jersey is a long ways from the gulf coast but I can promise you that I'll be in Edison for this Shonen Jump. Just the experience is enough to keep people coming back. Also I have like eight weeks of prep time so money and a place to stay shouldn't be a problem. Just need to decide if I want to drive, fly, or take a train.

Yes, trust me. You will really enjoy the Jump, especially since it's on the East Coast lol. Just kidding, but it will be a great Jump. Seeing as it is the 75th Anniversary SHONEN JUMP Championships, we know it'll be amazing. We're all sure of a big turnout, and Julia has already said that there WILL be a special Tournament structure, exclusive to the 75th SJC. Which will also be awesome:)

[PJ]

Yip, yip :)

[jdawg1023]

So i'm thinking about going, but I was unsure which airport is everyone flying into? When I checked, the closest one was almost an hour away. Is this correct?

[purity_reloaded]

Newark, NJ airport is the closest one to the venue. If you fly in to JFK or La Guardia, be prepared for a long, expensive trip to the tournament.

I'm pretty much it as far as doing the FAQs. Haven't gotten it done yet, but now that Nashville is out of the way I'll have time to work on it. :)

Anyone directly familiar with the area is of course encouraged to give input on travel and lodging.

So I'm guessing Newark is also the cheapest?

[AshPhnx]

Hopefully I'll be going.

[The New Kid]

This should be useful...

To anyone flying in to Newark, NJ you're going to be flying into the Tri-State area, please don't do crazy things on the airplane or in the airports cause they'll keep you in security for a long time. Tri-State is on especially high alert for the past couple of months/years, so just be careful about how you conduct yourself coming in.

Unless you like being held at the security gate...

[Dacar70]

Me and two others are going to make the drive from Maine. I hope to do well as I have never played in a SJC. I have judge two of them both in Boston. I also want to try the attack of the giant card. I'm going to be testing like five decks so I can find one the works. I want to do plants, blackwings, machine, exodia and one more I can't think of at this time.

[purity_reloaded]

So I'm guessing Newark is also the cheapest?

That actually depends on the airline.
Sometimes it is, sometimes the other two are cheaper.
However, you can lose the appeal of a lower priced flight if you have a lot more time and money in the commute to the venue, so keep that in mind as you are booking your flight.

I would absolutely NOT recommend that anyone fly out of LGA or JFK, if they want to leave on Sunday and still participate in the events. It will take you a long time to get to the airport, and you will need to be there 2 to 1 1/2 hours early.

This is doubly true if you are coming in as a judge @_@

[Yint]

Ha, I should so do a taxi service at Metuchan train station. Love how this SJC is 10-15 mins from my house ;D

[morphingmageking101]

How does Konami prepare for an event of 2000+ people, and how many rounds will that be? Also, will there be more than 32 invites for a tournament of this magnitude?

[≥ºτђξ ρѓοº≤]

We are not sure how many Round it will be. Maybe 11-14, but we aren't sure. Also, in the SHONEN JUMP Championships, there are only 16 Invites, given to the Top 16, not 32.

[Yussa Tampon]

How does Konami prepare for an event of 2000+ people, and how many rounds will that be? Also, will there be more than 32 invites for a tournament of this magnitude?

513-1024 is 10 rounds

1025 - 2048 is 11 rounds

2049+ is 12 rounds

it cuts to top 16... idk about invites.

[purity_reloaded]

You'd need over 8,000 players to go to 14 rounds of Swiss. So no, we will not have a 14 round tournament.

[Manjoume Thunder]

This question probably would best be directed to Julia or someone from KDE I guess. It seems like the 75th SJC is going to have a rather huge turnout lets say for some reason this is even bigger then SJC LA was and we get 12 rounds will all those rounds been done on Day 1? Or will it be split in similar fashion to the way it was in SJC LA?

The reason I'm asking is I'm about to finalize my plans as to weather to commute for the two days or stay in a hotel. Which would be recommended for someone that lives in the Manhattan New York? I figure if there's a lot of rounds there's a high possibility buses and trains will stop working after a certain hour and I would be stranded then. Anyway if this question can be answered it would be greatly appreciated want to finalize my plans. Looking forward to attending this event.

[PJ]

Just a quick note for Europeans flying over.

If your flight makes a stopover in ireland before corssing the atlantic, try and book flights that go out from Shannon Airport. At the moment they're the only airport in Europe that does pre-clearance for people flying to the US.

Exactly how far is the venue from the airport in Newark anyways? Also what hotels are closest to the venue? I would prefer one within walking distance of the tournament.

[Frisky Ferret]

If you go the way I listed earlier, with the train/bus, it'll take maybe 30-40 minutes to get to the venue.

There's a bunch of hotels in the area. I think the sheraton would be the closest.
Sheraton Link (http://www.starwoodhotels.com/sheraton/property/overview/index.html?propertyID=1137)

The bus is about a mile walk, the hotel maybe a little more.

[Magician Duelist]

so is there any info yet on this one yet? sry if it is a dumb question dk how long we wait for them to post the info for the next jump.

[Vice]

No confirmed information yet.
But Special tournament structure would be cool

[purity_reloaded]

Pro Tip:

There is a website called www.yugioh-card.com. It has a page called www.yugioh-card.com/en/events. On this page you'll find information on SJCs, Regionals, and so forth.

If you want to know if there is any info, that is the best place to look. :)

There's another website called www.google.com, it's got maps and things along with a search engine.

Seriously guys, you can find out the answers to a lot of these questions yourselves, if you don't want to wait for a FAQ.

I wouldn't want to commute back and forth that late at night. 8PM is my cutoff for public transportation, personally.

[frdball]

You'd need over 8,000 players to go to 14 rounds of Swiss. So no, we will not have a 14 round tournament.

I hope we 8001 so we can play 14 rounds. That would be so cool. :rolleyes:

[XxP3LLOxXFTW]

this is gonna be like a 2000 person event

[GodOfShaftTK]

I really think they should try to do something with the 10th anniversary movie at this event.

[≥ºτђξ ρѓοº≤]

I really think they should try to do something with the 10th anniversary movie at this event.

I highly agree:)! I would be very interested in seeing that. Such as maybe a Sneek Preview of the Movie in English? Since I remember when the 1st Season of YU-GI-OH! 5D's was in Japan, KONAMI showed the first Episode of the Series in English at the Comi-Con. I wish they would show everyone the Anniversary Movie in English at the 75th SJC:P.
