PDL Duel types
This is the official list of duel types in PDL. Some of them are a little complex. If you have any questions e-mail me.

Single-Just as it says a one on one duel.

Triple Threat-In this duel it goes Player 1 >> Player 2 >> Player 3. The winner of this duel is the person that makes the first KO. This means that a person in this duel may not be involved in a decision.

Fatal Four Way, Five Way, or Six Way Duel-In this duel it goes Player 1 >> Player 2 >> Player 3 >> Player 4. The last duelist with life points left wins. However these duels can also be contested under the first fall wins rule. Under this stipulation a champion does not have to lose the duel to lose his/her title.

Ironman-Both players start out with 8000 Life Points. When a player's Life Points drop to 0 they are reset at 4000 and the duel continues. The player that reduced the opponent's Life Points to 0 gains 1 point. The duel continues until a player can no longer draw from their deck. The winner is the player with the most points.

Handicap-This duel can be a one on two, a one on three, or a two on three. The team shares 8000 Life Points.
 * Handicap 1 on 2 or 1 on 3- Take turns in this order: Team A’s Player 1 >> Team B’s Player 1 >> Team A’s Player 1 >> Team B’s player 2. This is the first player who can make an attack. If it is a three on one then you just add on another link to the chain.
 * Handicap 2 on 3-Take turns in this order: Team A’s Player 1 >> Team B’s Player 1 >> Team A’s Player 2 >> Team B’s player 2. Team A’s Player 1 >> Team B’s Player 3 This is the first player who can make an attack.

Tag Team Rules-These are the standard KDL tag team rules recently adopted by PDL.
 * Each player needs their own Deck, 2 players make a team.
 * Each player has 8000 Life Points. They are separate and when one team mates drop to 0 your team loses.
 * Take turns in this order: Team A’s Player 1 >> Team B’s Player 1 >> Team A’s Player 2 >> Team B’s player 2 (This is the first player who can make an attack.)
 * You can Tribute your partner’s monsters for your cards or Tribute Summons.
 * Cards that say “your opponent’s side of the field” mean both opponents. So if each of your opponents had two face-up monsters out, "Lightning Vortex" would destroy all four of them.
 * You can’t attack the Life Points of the Other Team directly unless neither of them have a monster, so if there is at least 1 monster across the Other Team's entire number of Monster Card Zones, they cannot attack their Life Points directly.

Extreme Elimination-This duel is done by duelists drawing lots before a duel starts. It may be 4 to 10 duelists. Each person reaches blindly into a container and picks a piece of paper out. These pieces of paper can be numbered 1 through 30. The two with the lowest numbers start the duel off. This may also be decided by rolling 4 dice at the same time. However with this if two people roll the same number the last person to roll the number must roll again. A duelist enters in when the round count (the time it takes however many duelists to complete their turn) reaches the number on their slip of paper. When it does they will immediately start their turn with full Life Points. The duel continues until everyone is eliminated. If someone is eliminated and there are no other duelists in yet the next person with the lowest number must automatically enter.

Hardcore-In this rule set your Life Points do not recover when a duel ends and you must continue in the next duel with your remaining Life Points.

One Card Disqualification-Each palyer selects one card from an their opponent's decks. They write the selected card on a piece of paper and hand it to a third party. When their opponent plays the selected card they immediately lose the duel. Life Points are still counted.

Poision Duel-A player rolls a die or several dice. The secleted number rolled is the number of life points times 100 that are lost each standby phase.

Infinite Deck-If a deck runs out a player reshuffels their deck, graveyard, hand, and removed from play zone and then draws 6 new cards. This continues until a player runs out of Life Points.

Automatic Victory Only-This rule set has no Life Points to be counted. A player wins when they use a card effect that grants automatic victory. If a deck runs out a player reshuffels their deck, graveyard, hand, and removed from play zone and then draws 6 new cards.

Direct Attack Battle-A player must attack their opponent 5 times directly to win. Each time an attack is made a monster card zone becomes unusable. Life Points are not counted. If a monster card zone is occupied the zone farthest to the left monster is destroyed.
