Hello, small 2 small requests. Can these interactions please be added to the Compendium? Hoping to get these in there so judges at an event in process can use Compendium mobile and avoid navigating forums. http://pokegym.net/forums/showthread.php?182765-Ultra-Ball-With-0-Cards-Left...

Vince- I constructed the list as a nice summary for the readers of this thread, the content came from various sections of the Play! Pokemon General Event Rules and Pokémon Organized Play Penalty Guidelines. Please consult the follow sections in the following documents: Play! Pokemon General...

Just to cover all aspects of Determining the outcome of a match... I will make a list of things you can and can not do You Can Not: Flip a Coin to decide a winner of a match Roll a dice to decide a winner of a match Play Rock Paper Scissors to decide a winner of a match Have a foot race aroud...

Both players are at fault, both players did not keep track of gamestate, both players shuffled their hands into their decks. This is unfixable. Double Game Loss. my 2 cents

From the Compendium

My comments is red.... This is EXACTLY like 2nd Supporter N that was discussed at Nationals. Lets discuss that issue. Player A plays VS Seeker gets N, does not play it but Player B assumes the card is played (or Player A played 2nd supporter N). Player B shuffles their hand into their...

If the set and collection numbers are there, and you can determine the only thing missing is "EX", you can treat this as you would a spelling error and not crucify the player. Just add "EX" and move on with your day. If the player listed Pikachu EX but had the set number for Hoopa EX, this...

Can you elaborate on this Vince? If I am reading what you said correctly the Toad player had no opportunity to stop the error (VS Seeker-Shortcut-Birch) of the other player, yet the Toad player still gets a Game Loss? Are you agreeing with the Double Game Loss or are you questioning the call? It...

Regardless of History, if a judge can prove baiting, then it is a DQ. Other then that, nothing else to take into account, when dealing with a unrewindable broken gamestate, really there is nothing we can do other then end the game in a Game Loss for the player who broke the gamestate. There is...

Well, I was at the Nationals Head Judges Meeting and I was at the Nationals All Judge Meeting when we got clarity about how this should be ruled. I will say that there was a spirited debate among very passionate people in the all Judge meeting, which was resolved by Dan stating what the penatly...

I agree with 'pop. The cards are functionally identical, there is no need to issue a high level penatly when there is no chance for an error. Having the player find the other version of the cards is a waste of their time and the judges, this adds more stress that is unnecessary. There are plenty...

Player A has a Pokémon with 70hp left. Fighting Fury Belt is attached Player B attacks using Shaymin ex’s Sky Return, does 30 damage and returns to the hand. Player A’s Pokemon is still alive due to Fighting Fury Belt (40 HP left) Player B promotes Yveital (BKT) with the Fright Night Ability...

Can you explain that one? What is your justification? Where in the Penalty Guidelines are you? What are your judging credentials?

The only bad part I see about prizes being awarded down to 128 in masters is the fact that handing out the prizes for those who does not advance isn't going to be fun after a long day. 128 players will get prizes, 96 (or 120 if attendance is less than 227) players will be done on Saturday...

Yes essentially only 1 real game is played. Coin Flip to decide who goes first in their only actual game to be played. Having players set up the game for their double game loss (or single game loss) is a silly waste of time. Are there areas that really make their players do this?
