Goat Format is the format played that was played in the Summer of 2005. It gets its name from the popularity of the card Scapegoat during this time period. It is one of the two most popular retro Yu-Gi-Oh! formats still played today. Simple and yet still rich in variety goat format plays completely different to current YGO since the games actually take a few turns to finish usually. Here I will be attempting to host a typical smogon-style tournament where players play 1 match per week, but use a different simulator to play a different game.
Tournament Rules:
1. All players must carefully familiarise themselves with the goat format Rules and follow the rules carefully.
2. If there is a dispute in terms of rulings, refer to the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki, ask in the goatformat Discord, or if you cannot come to a conclusion, call a judge on duelingbook to rule for you.
3. Games will be played on duelingbook.com.
4. You may use a different Deck every single week.
5. The tournament is double elimination knockout, played in Matches (not Duels!) ie. best of three. There will be one match per week.
Please post the replay of your match to get the win!!
Resources
The goat format Discord. They have channels for every single Deck archetype ordered by viability. Check the pins of those channels for Decks to yoink.
Video explaining how to filter goat-legal cards on duelingbook in the deckbuilder.
Sample Decks (download, and import them in the Deckbuilder)

We now have a prize pool of 25$ for the winner
courtesy of Isza if the tournament runs smoothly which I will give my best to make happen. Huge thanks to them 
Signups end Sunday December 22nd, tour officially starts on Monday. Feel free to play way after christmas tho, I will also be lenient with granting extensions.
