    Ask A Judge forum

    Takes some doing to getting me to post again here, but this genuinely sounds like an important step, and great factory for churning the proper mindset to dealing with some situations.

    Complete list of Worlds competitors per country/age group/total (incl. %)

    Yup, thats exactly the way in Mexico, they show me a visa or they dont get a paid trip, as simple as that, I am through with "I have an interview next month" or " I know a guy who can get me one in no time". The day of the event, if you cant show me a Visa, you dont get a trip (with obvious...

    Official Ban Gardevoir for Worlds 2008 Discussion

    so LBS wasnt as dominant? Niniken wasnt as dominant? I guess I must have been alucinating :p Me doing a Mod job? fat chance, I also am entitled to an opinion and stated that most mods would support, and it was intended to mean that I am not saying that the gym is not an important forum, just...

    Official Ban Gardevoir for Worlds 2008 Discussion

    Sorry if I come as blunt on this, but we know that the format change will get rid of a lot of GG issues (no DRE or scramble slows it a bit, and there will be a pool of new cards, so I dontr expect a lot of GG activity on the next rotation), and we know PUI will not errata or ban a card with less...

    An idea for Worlds 2008.

    All this ideas sound so nice, and I wouldnt like to be the one breaking bad news, but most of them sound unrealistic from a logistics point of view, in order to make cost effective sleeves, you have to order thousands, and obviously all have to be of the same pattern, multiple patterns would...

    Pokemon Center.com Closing January 31st

    Actually, the japanese online pokemoncenter closed before the american one, so this is part of the same movement, I guess thats what they have PUI now for, to coordinate worldwide brand efforts.

    N.A States... that are not on 1st and 8th... Im confused

    Not to mention that it is almost less expensive to pay a trip to the US to be at worlds than to travle all country wide to play some states, so its not cost effective at best. Mexico IS at a disadvantage by not having regionals, so Nationals turn out to be all or nothing for pro mexican players...

    N.A States... that are not on 1st and 8th... Im confused

    Read Pablo's post, he pretty much nails it. PS I do think it would be great that US players attend Mexican states, see this as an extra chance of boosting your record, I call it the reverse Pablo, since Pablo is the one usually stealing points off US at regionals, why not US players steal...

    Worlds FAQs

    You got it fast! either my indirect comments are getting better, or you are getting more accurate 'Pop, and yes, it did happen, i believe I was with Derek and Phil at the time it happened, luckily, worlds has never been near a laboratory or other experimentation place, otherwise our lab coats...

    Where are the biggest concentrations of Players?

    Lets not forget one of the biggest of them all, Mexico DF, though this year we've had a tad less than other years, I can safely say DF still has at least a couple hundred competitive players (OP participating I mean) and Edo Mex which is right around the corner sports at least another pair of...

    TGW and Absol - Their Effect on OP

    as a matter of fact its: 34 Banned 49 limited cards (just 1 per deck) 11 semi limited (just 2 per deck) but who is counting anyway? lol. and I've yet to see people playing casual yu gi oh on a nornal base; 90% of play is usually advanced format :P I also believe Pokemon is the least...

    which lvl X is in...

    We all on this forum agree that Nintendo has no idea what they are doing with this game... because they are doing nothing, by now its almost a repetition gag to joke on it, but Nintendo has ZERO involvement with the game, its all PUI/PCL, but it is very frustrating for the folks at PUI that...

    WoTC Card Style(Sorry if it's in the wrong spot; wasn't sure where to put it)

    I can guess that it has the same use as magic cards got an uplift for, they wanted to refresh the feel of the cards, sometimes, to coincide with the release of a new era of videogames.
