Key takeaways
  • Step 1 — install Bushi Navi
  • Step 2 — find an event
  • Step 3 — understand your status
  • Step 4 — register your deck

Step 1 — install Bushi Navi

Bushi Navi is Bushiroad's official organized-play app and the only way to apply for most sanctioned events. Bushi Navi Global covers English-language regions; the Japanese ブシナビ app covers Japan.

Step 2 — find an event

The app's map lists official stores and their upcoming tournaments. Filter to Palworld OFFICIAL CARD GAME and check whether the listing is a competitive tournament or a casual demo session before you apply.

Step 3 — understand your status

After applying, your status shows Applying (store received it), Selected (you are in — follow the check-in instructions), Waiting List (over capacity, you move up if others no-show) or Rejected.

Step 4 — register your deck

Deck Log, Bushiroad's official deck creation tool, is integrated into Bushi Navi. Build your list there, save it, and register the saved deck for the tournament instead of filling in a paper decklist.

Step 5 — on the day

Check in through the app, read your pairing and table number on your phone, play the match, then report the result. The winner reports; the loser approves. No paperwork changes hands.
