2025 Prospective Player Application
Interested in competing this season? Make sure that you are at least Level 160+ prior to your submission. You must be typically available on weekend afternoons from August 2nd through August 31st. While we can typically accommodate special circumstances, please only apply if you can commit to participating for 4-5 weeks. We understand this may not work for everyone, hence why we provide participation prizing to compensate for your time.
Apply here through Sunday, July 27th at 11:59pm EDT. Prospective players will be selected via automated random draw of valid entries. If you are not initially selected, don’t worry! We may need a few last minute alternates to participate in the tournament.
Keep an eye on your email inbox beginning Monday July 28th, as we begin to make selection announcements!
Postseason Prizing
In honor of DuelCircle Media’s 10th anniversary, we’re pleased to present another massive prize pool with fan favorite bundles, plenty of crowns and everything else you know and love from DuelCircle Competitive tournaments.
As always, members of the league will automatically receive a participation prize in the form of a $10 Pet Jewel Card (redeemable for 5,000 Crowns or 1 Month Membership), in the event that they do not reach the postseason.

Official DuelCircle Competitive Rulebook
The DuelCircle Competitive comprehensive rulebook has information regarding gameplay rules, league structure, eligibility, tiebreaker scenarios, match processes, playoff format, player conduct, and other ancillary items.
