The Second Battle Royal

The next two days all the duellists were preparing their decks and waiting for the Battle royal. The tournament was held on a Saturday. All the duellists were in the waiting room after they had drawn their numbers. The referee was in the arena and he spoke to the crowd

"Ladies and Gentlemen here are the rules for the Battle Royal. In just a moment those duellists who drew numbers one and two will enter the playing field and the match will begin. Then every two minutes or after another duellist will enter the match according to the number he or she drew. If two or more duellists are eliminated in one turn another duellist will enter the match but the next duellists will arrive every two minutes. It is every man for themselves, elimination occurs when a duellists life points reach 0. For each duellist the Graveyard limit will be 20 cards. Once the Graveyard has been filled the cards in the graveyard will be placed at the bottom of the deck and the discarded cards after that will be placed into the graveyard again. When a duellist enters the field they cannot be attacked until they have draw one card. The last Duellist remaining on the field after all 20 have entered will be declared the winner and will earn a spot at the Duellist Master Invitational. Duellists. Number one and two please make your way to the ring"
