Maybe call it perspective from being less involved with the game for a couple of years; but, the rules haven't changed since my days of judging; revealing cards mid shuffle is against the rules. It’s been against the rules for as long as I’ve been reading the TCG Tournament Rules. As much as I...

Congrats to the winners. Good to see you all again.

Update? See you tomorrow for the VGC.

No Ugly Cup 2012 Although, I appreciate Bidier's support here. I thought I'd at least explain the reason why I decided not to run the Ugly Cup this year. For that I probably need to rehash some history. In 2008 the first Ugly Cup was run. When I first conceived of the event as a...

Too bad I missed out on all the fun... Good job Matt.

Wow, blast from the past. That is my grandfather's Legion hall....

Perhaps I was asleep at the switch, but this seems to finally give an indication that the LCQ is still a part of the World's schedule. :smile:

Ugly and Company will be there...

We ran Lanturn Throughout Cities with a couple of Top Cuts and a couple of Bubble misses. Here's some general comments. Lanturn / Zekrom is a good combination, but suffers from some issues that need addressing through tech's and a carefully thought out trainer line. IMO, this deck does...

This would be the fourth Cities attended by myself and my eldest Son. I've played Speed Donphan in the first Cities and Switched to ZPST for the second two. My son in Senior's had put together a Lanturn deck to run at all of these Cities and after a very rocky 0-5 start with it (because of...

To me, there is not much of a moral case to be made for scooping the last game when paired down. The one thing about the tie-breaking system that I've always liked about Pokemon is that after you've played an opponent and either won or lost, you really mean it when you wish them good luck in...

Sorry to be missing all the fun, being stuck in the Ukraine on start-up of the Pokemon season is really no fun at all. Maybe make the Brampton BR just to give it the old college try. Ugly Out

If you come across the border there are lots of events in the Toronto area. Only about 90 minutes from the border.

Good seeing you at Nats sir... Congrats on your finish. After watching from the judging perspective, can't agree with you more, that the current format would benefit greatly from a no damage until both players have had a turn. This would take the luck factor down significantly and lead to...

OK I have no idea what actually won, because once the banning was done, there wasn't much of anyone's orginal decks left. But it would appear that Zoroak and Cincino survived in most of the final decks and carried the day. The actual winners of the Ugly Cup Tournament were: Allen X...

R6-- Crema vs. Coates... Crema wins Ugly Out

ROUND #1 Starts Now

In answer to a few received questions. 40 Card Decks mean 4 prize cards...

Mr. Ugly (that would be me) would pick from the two cards tied.

Yes though it is 2-8 at Nats and 1-8 for Ugly cup. The number of distributed cards biases the odds in favour of the higher ranking players at the end of each of the respective tournaments. IMHO based on particiaption numbers to date, I would think a T32 unlikely this year in the Masters and...
