Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

ESMB League (SoCal): NOT Meeing May 6

wat happend was i left my bag and my box on the table. me marsh and kory were playing dbz while waiting for zane to finsh his t8 match i lost mine. I went to pick up my bag and i thought my box was in the bag. I look in the bag and it wasnt there the bag was on the table next to us to.
 
So you either lost the deck or someone stole it? Either way that sucks.

Argh, somehow the world always finds a way to delay me from finishing a deck that I like. :confused:
 
So is literally most of us at league gonna go for that Qualifier? It's gonna be the invasion of the South Bay lol.[/QUOTE by GKOTM]

Basically lol :biggrin:

According to Dan something kept him from going. Must've known ahead of time since Dan had the books and case already there.
 
Hey guys!

Sorry to miss two weeks in a row. Last week was kept late at work and it was pouring. This week I was hoping up to the last minute that they would get the remains of the house-sized boulder (and close up the 30 inch water main they broke) off of PCH, but no luck. Both canyons to east are closed (Topanga & Malibu) so, I'd have to wait in the commute out Kanan to Westlake before heading for the South Bay... 3 hours in the car most likely.

So, as soon as they fix the coast road I'll be back. Keep track of your points ... I'll make sure you guys get caught up on your Floe Island points next week.

MANY MANY thanks to Dan.

If you guys see this tonite from the Lab, PM me.
 
Dan's been stamping.

I had a feeling that PCH was gonna keep you from here, with all the mudslide-type stuff that's been happening.
 
NO LEAGUE Fri Feb 4

Sorry folks, our venue will be closed. However we hope to see you all at State Championships.

California State Championship Information for ESMB Leaguers

This is a long event, but that means lots of matches. The best players in our region will be there and this means not only good competition, but also that we have to show up and represent our league, because we have some very fine players and multiple champions as well.

Folks, it's SUNDAY 9am ... be ready!

Here is some info about the event:

PokéGym CA State Championships Info Thread

PTE Games Site
PTE is organizing the event. Click their Pokemon link, then CA States link for the details.

California State Championship Info from Pokemon Organized Play

Download, Print and Fill-in Your Decklist in Advance!
I recommend you use pencil, but DEFINITELY do this before you arrive.

You will also want to get a copy of the lastest rulings from the Compendium EX

Finally: let me know if you're coming to CA States!

I'm working on a surprise and need to know numbers.

Let's represent our League - in the best way!

There's been some trash talking and some people go to these events JUST to win. I hope you guys and gals will let your best shine through, even when there is a problem. Never let someone drag you into an argument. Look for a judge, or Dan or myself.

bulbasnore's tips:
  • Shuffle your opponents deck to start a game, even if its a buddy.
  • If there is a problem or question, stop play and call a judge. Its too late afterward.
  • Leave as much of your stuff as you can in the car.
  • Keep what you bring into the event inside a closed bag/pack and keep it in sight.
  • Be yourself, be friendly, support your leaguers and have fun.

Hope to see MANY of you there and some of you in the final rounds!

Any particular reason? :frown: NEED to do some trading.

Anyway I might go, still undecided (honestly didn't know States was next week until I found out at league on Friday...)

Sorry if the reason wasn't clear: There is a swim meet and our venue is therefore closed.

Off topic: 'SC _and_ Notre Dame. Now, that's what I'm talking about.

PM me or Marshstomp with your trade list.

edit: This just in! Read below!!

Didn't want to announce it until I actually got to do it, but we'll have a league card, badge or lanyard tag for CA States. If you're going or not, PLEASE get me your choice of Pokémon as soon as possible. So far on the tag I have:

me: bulbasaur
mrsC: pikachu
steve: wailord
david: feraligatr

I want everyone to be represented, so please call your pals and find out their info.

Here is a sample of the art for the card/badge/tag: League Badge

Loved watching those games, especially the SC one. They got pwn't, ESPECIALLY SouthernCal (*does happy dance*).

Nice job. It TRULY captures the feeling of having league in Dan's lab. Go go 'Gatr!
 
We ARE meeting Friday March 11.
We ARE NOT meeting Friday March 18 due to a swim invitational.

I will still make some badges; my computer went nuts (hard drive? still checking).
We will still have Pentathlon, not scheduled yet.

Gotta run!

Congrats to Jon McB (11-14 State Champion) and 5 others who made the final rounds!
 
Hey, if you guys and gals haven't seen Dr. Linda's blog, check it out, 'cause its about her as a player/trainer/mom & you folks & the league are often in it:

http://pokemom.blogspot.com/

See you tonite, at least briefly. I'm sick, but I have a ride out there with Delia (Mrs. C.) and need to drop off the current season stuff. I think she & Marshstomp will stay and play.
 
Here's a new thing for League:

If you bring a new 10 and under player to league and teach them the game, you will receive 5 bonus OP packs!
