New changes have been made to the Modified format for Organized Play tournaments.
In the interest of maintaining a healthy tournament environment, Pokémon Organized Play removes older sets from the Modified format at the beginning of each new tournament season. Each rotation challenges existing players to create new strategies while enabling new players to get into Organized Play with a minimal investment.
Last year we announced that our goal was to have a Modified format that starts with 9 regular sets at the beginning of the season and ends the season with about 13 regular sets. Now that we have achieved that goal, we will continue to rotate sets each year to ensure that our Organized Play environment remains healthy and vital moving forward.
The Modified format for the 2010-2011 season will consist of the following sets:
Diamond & Pearl—Majestic Dawn
Diamond & Pearl—Legends Awakened
Diamond & Pearl—Stormfront
Platinum
Platinum—Rising Rivals
Platinum—Supreme Victors
Platinum—Arceus
Rumble
HeartGold & SoulSilver
HS—Unleashed
HS Trainer Kit
Black Star Promo Cards numbered DP22 and higher and Black Star Promo Cards numbered HGSS01 and higher.
In addition, future Pokémon TCG sets will become legal as they are released, per the Pokémon Organized Play Tournament Rules.

[edit: and for clarification, this includes POP pack and league promos whose set symbols are from rotated sets. such promos will ALSO no longer be legal when the new tournament year begins on september 1, 2010.]
