Exclamation Triumvirate Duel Academy.

What do you get when you combine frequent regional toppers, National toppers, SJC players and a teaching structure which promotes growth and development? You get the newly formed TDA. This online academy for playing offer's something new to the table, a chance for actual growth and the ability to learn from better players.

The system of Administration is simple, Two Admins, one leads Teaching, the other Moderation. Naturally, I handle Moderation. The other Admin you will need to meet yourself on TDA but he has run the educational program at other online schools in the past. What is unique about our school is the fact Moderation and Teaching is seperate so we had the chance to recruit the best person for the given job. Our staff is hand selected.

Here is a rundown of some notable individuals in the staff:

Teaching.

Quote:

Absolute Zero - Teacher of Hamon at a previous Duel Academy.

Yara - Regional Topper who now teach's one of our top two dorms, or our Black Dorm.

SirFunchalot - Teacher of Raviel Blue and former Regional Topper.

Merlin - Teacher of Uria Red. Australian Nat's placer.

Unknowntalent - Support Teacher who has a SJC top 20 and 13 regional top's.

Control - Future teacher of our White dorm. He is known for raising players duel level from Local to National level's.
Security.

Quote:

Anduril38 - Well known TCGplayer member and the creator of the Mastermind Program.

Phantom2250 - TCG's newest normal Moderator.

Pharaoh Horus - One of TCG's Veteran Moderator's and our Head Moderator.

Viktory- Or JerkJerk from TCGplayer. Another great Moderator.

Feiticeira - Or Tear from another Duel Academy whom I worked with personally.
Support Staff.

Quote:

Jin Kazama - Or Tsurin. The Former President of another Duel Academy who stepped down. He is our Head Tournament Organizer. He also runs two academies.

Feiticeira - A Mod doubling as our Graphic Designer. His work is excellent.

Phantom2250 - Another Mod doubling as a TO. He is known in this field for TCG's Tournament and his tournie reports.
Admin's

Quote:

Ainulindale - Former Head of Education at another Duel Acedemy, and co-founder of TDA. He now knows the technical end of the job as well.

LIGHTNINGBLITZ - Co-Admin, head of Security and support staff as of now. I am known best here for my Moderation work.

What is different from other site's and TDA? Not only is our structural system perfected, we will have YVD tournaments, as well as hands on teaching help, a five dorm tier system to have three dorms to get you to Regional topping level and a two-dorm inner-competition system to advance players into the pro-level via friendly competition. Needless to say, no matter how good you are, TDA will be a possitive experience on your dueling career.

So, after reviewing our site and you decide to join, Welcome to TDA - The Premier Online Duelist Academy!

You shall enjoy your stay.

Even though I didn't get to be a mod, I'll still join. The only way of dueling I have at the moment is through Chatboxes, which is a downer. .

For the record, I have 13 Regional tops and no SJC tops(I got 17th, which is the ultimate heart-brake)

Oh, and Anduril with mod powers scares me
