If you or your child is new to Pokemon Organized Play, here are some things you
should know:
How does this tournament work?
In this event, players will play the deck they bring to the event. Decks
must use only cards from the Modified format. This means cards from the
following sets:
Plus Emerging Powers
and Noble Victories
Cards from older sets can not be used, unless they have been reprinted in a
newer set. For more information, please read the
Modified Format document on the Pokemon Organized Play website.
All decks must be 60 cards. All games will be played for 6 prizes.
Players may not change their deck during the tournament.
A Decklist must be filled out prior to the event. We will have blank
decklists on site, or you may download one from the link near the top of this
page.
The tournament is played using Swiss format, which means that players are paired
against opponents with the same win/loss record in their age group, if possible.
All players play in every round. The number of rounds depends on
attendance, but usually these events are 4 or 5 rounds long. Each round is
30 minutes long (+3 turns if tied). At the end of the Swiss rounds, the
winners are determined by record. Ties are broken using Opponents Winning
Percentage.
This event starts at 12:45pm. The swiss rounds will end by roughly 5:30pm.
The Top Cut will run 3 hours longer.
Player IDs
Everyone playing in the event must have a Pokemon Player ID number. If you
have played in the Pokemon TCG League or in previous tournaments, you already
have a Player ID (formerly called a POP ID). If not, we will assign one to
you at the event. Please bring your Player ID card or at least the number
if you have one.
