Fight Formats are different modes in which a Cardfight!! Vanguard match can be played, and each format provides its own rules. Clan Fight is the main tournament format for both Japanese and English formats. Unless otherwise stated, the Standard Fight Rules are applied normally in each format, including trigger effects and the Sentinel ability.
