Rank Points is what you get for Dueling in WDA. We do not have a testing system, we simply use a Ranking System based on the matches you do, similar to what you'd see on DN. It is made so that players that start from low ranking can rise fast by playing against opponent of much higher rank.

In WDA official matches can be done in 3 different Tiers. To begin with we have "Open" which is your regular advanced format.
But for players that don't want to face off against top tier decks (like Dino Rabbit, or the threat of Wind-Ups at the moment) we have another Tier where the tier 1 OCG and TCG decks of the format are banned. That is Hobby Tier (HT).
In addition there are players who want to avoid other strong decks in addition to the ones before as well. Those can play in the Kiddy Pool tier (KP) where many frequently used decks are banned.
A detailed list of the bans in Tiers can be found here http://www.worldduelingacademy.com/t3197-tiers#32499

You can get new titles and colours by getting Achievement Points. In WDA you can get Achievement Points from things like rising in rank, posting, contributing with decks or GFX, as well as things like participating in the RP, writing Articles etc. The main way however to get Achievement Points is through Duel Achievements, which have special requirements within official matches. For example the first Duel Achievement requires you to reduce the opponent's life points to 0 by attacking with "Exodia, the Forbidden One". There are 3 different difficulty levels for Achievements, from Routine to Impossible, to try at many different things.
The Achievement section is here http://www.worldduelingacademy.com/f49-achievements

At any time in WDA we have 2 tournaments, a regular single elimination tournament with no deckbans, and a tournament with special rules (different each time), either ongoing or with sign-ups open, where you can enter.
Furthermore, there is a team section where inner WDA teams can play against each other in wars. You don't have to be in an inner team to play though, since you can sign up for a random matchup war, where 2 teams will be randomly made from people who signed up and have an inner war.

Outside of yugioh, there are 3 different discussion sections, each on their respective categories, as well as Create-a-Card and writing competitions.

We have 2 different RPs here. Our RPs are duel based. That means that all duels in it are actually made on DN, in which duels you are to act in character, while making sure your character announces his moves, and after it ends the chat log is copied and pasted on the RP topic. However there are many restrictions on deckbuilding.
You will find this is not a serious Role Play, especially if you are actually used to RP'ing, but instead a very loose and open RP, so that many members who don't do real RP'ing themselves can join.
