....Like Yu-Gi-Oh Duelist Kingdom?

Yes!

How will that work?

I'm glad that you asked! In Yu-Gi-Oh, Duelist Kingdom was a format where the invited players were given Star Chips with the intent to collect enough to be crowned King of Games. Just like in Yu-Gi-Oh, each entrant will be given two Star Chips upon entry into the event in attempts to collect enough chips to make it to the finals! You may wager your Star Chips on each format that you play. It could be on one of the Double Elimination flights, a Star Chip wager against another player in the ladder, or one of the other ways outlined in the breakdown. The amount of star chips needed to make it to the Top Cut bracket may be adjusted due to attendance. Duelists...I mean competitors... will be expected to collect at most 8 Star Chips in order proceed to the Finals.

Okay, that sounds awesome, but it won't be the same as the show, right?

Wrong! We will have dedicated Star Chip money match stations, mini 8-person DE brackets, 4-team DE brackets, crews station, and much more. You can decide how you want to wager your Star Chips, but remember, you only have so many to wager before you're out! Winning any of these will get you closer of collecting the exact amount of chips needed to get to the finals.

Aww man, well, if I lose my chips early that means I'm kicked out of Duelist Kingdom.

Now wait just a second, Yugi-boy. Here at the Second Illinois Arcadian there's a little thing we'd like to introduce: Redemption Brackets. If you have the misfortune of losing your chips to a stronger player, or Weevil throwing your beloved Exodia off of the ship, you will be able to redeem yourself in the Single Elimination Redemption Brackets! It is completely free to enter, as long as you entered in the original event itself and have lost your chips. The winner of each redemption bracket (they will be running all throughout the event), will receive 1 more star chip and can attempt to claw their way back to the top.
