These are incidents of a different nature. The fundamental aspect of a suspension is that it removes a player who is disrupting other players, or the events they attend. A possibly bit too wild 18th birthday party, or teenagers hopped up on Red Bull isn't the kind of disruption that Gino and Jon...

Is this to say you would feel disrupted at an event? I want to quote the penalty guidelines again: I don't see how this individual, Gino L, is not seen as disruptive to other players, and thus the future events he attends. I know I will feel uncomfortable to be around him, just based on this...

Are you doing that thing you love to do where you argue against your own beliefs for the sake of arguing? You believe that Gino should be suspended for this, but you've made lots of responses that would lead almost any other reader to think you're opposed to such action. I really want to...

Whoa. Are you admitting to have left with his stuff??? So you're saying, right here, admitting what you did.

I just wanted to reply to: 1. Say thank you for providing this public area for us to discuss this 2. Knowing to abstain if it's in your best interest (you don't have to be a constant contrarian to criticism against something you support to still ultimately support that entity)

The comparison you make isn’t entirely accurate. This is within the purview of TPCi because: 1. The two involved are both players- this is their relationship. Pokemon is why there exists a relationship. 2. The two were gathered together for the sake of playing in a pokemon tournament. 3. It...

I want to say thank you for the thoughtful response addressing numerous concerns, while providing rationale and logic behind decision making. We, the playerbase, appreciate this tremendously. I have a question as to obtaining the numbers. If your goal is 128 every year- why not divvy out...

Next time I will make the former portion explicitly clear: That's why it says "which would be players within 200 points of an invite" If you are not within 200 points of an invite, then you are not a player "seeking those last few points to earn a Worlds invitation" This event is "for...

The description says: "tournament for players who are seeking those last few points to earn a Worlds invitation" If you have under 200, you are not a player seeking those last few points to earn a Worlds invitation. So the tournament is not FOR you. So why are they allowing players in who the...

It seems like you're describing more well thought-out turns. Even if no additional turns are played out, the fact of the matter is that more time was used to think and have better plays, less dictated by fear of the clock. This could be an easy thing to track, too. Just have a judge do...

"Pokemon creates the rules for our events, and are the sole arbiter of those rules. When you agree to participate in our programs, you agree to abide by those rules." What rules were broken? Does it say in the rules another player cannot play in your place? Etc etc. This type of rule IS...

Any ideas of how to bring this to TPCi's attention? It's all masters (who are all now 15 or older), so it won't have COPPA issues, but I would like to be able to have a bit of help from them, or something. Maybe if one of them goes to regionals I can talk to them. Any help or...
