Hi, I was trying to explain to my Junior that there is a difference between doing damage and placing damage counters. He asked "what's the difference? Damage is damage!" I didn't have a good answer. I'd appreciate it if someone could clue me in on what the difference is and why there is a...

This was the question I was considering (stadiums vs badge). I'm going to give it a go with stadiums I think.

I have the wrong number of play points credited for a tournament (1 instead of 3). I opened a ticket on Pokemon support site a couple weeks ago, no reply yet. Status has been "Work In Progress" for a week.

Do they break ties for 100th place?

Has anyone else in WA had a problem with the Play Points for the WA State championship? My Junior son only received 1 point instead of 3 and it says "Grassroots tournament", but when i click the link for tournament 13-03-000290 it goes to the correct results. I opened a ticket on the...

I gave Scolipede a whirl this past weekend at a state tourney, pairing it with Gardevoir(BCR) and Giratina(PLS). It went about as expected.. 3-5 record. It's just too hard to keep 2 stage 2's up and running together.

Are the State tourneys 1-day only events?

Not necessarily. There are 3 elements required fo it to be illegal gambling: 1. Prize 2. Element of chance 3. Consideration (Entry Fee) This is why the poker leagues that got set up in bars had to be free entry. Now would the state gambing control board bust a pokemon tournament? I...

Otaku: more or less yes. Here is the Washington Gambling Commission's position paper: http://www.wsgc.wa.gov/newsletters/5-228.pdf If someone were to hold a pokemon turnament where no money went to the house/organizer/room rent,etc then everyone involved woul qualify as a social card game...

Yes but it must take place in a licensed casino if there is a rake.

In Washington state Pokemon would be considered game of chance, thus if there was an entry fee involved (30+3 for example) it would be illegal gambling. The law here says that if there is ANY element of chance then it is a game of chance. We have been tryng to get poker recognized as a game...

I recently went 2-4 at a City event with Flygon/Dusknoir/Terrakion EX that I threw together the night before (I do not have a Celebi). I probably should have gone 3-3 but I made a poor strategic decision against a Flygon/Dusknoir/Celebi deck in round 6 by not KO'ing a Duskull when I had the chance.

thanks R3. We have had several talks about trading when I'm not watching, but yes the impulse takes over. Riley learned a lesson (I hope). Until now he has tried to do deals just for the sake of doing deals.

Riley had a great time at Lacey yesterday, his first 'cash'! (Yes I'm a poker player) Thanks to the tourney organizers. I am a bit disappointed though that someone thought it would be a good idea to trade him a MewTwo-EX Promo for a Computer Search and a Skyla and a Stoutland that he had...

When using Zoroark's Foul Play to copy Landorus-EX's "Land's Judgement" attack: :fighting::fighting::colorless: Land's Judgment 80+ You may discard all Fighting Energy attached to this Pokémon. If you do, this attack does 70 more damage. Does Zoroark get to add the extra 70 damage even if...
