Thank you for the info. I live in AZ now but still have friends and family in Indiana. Sounds like you have a lot of things going on! What kinds of mats are you going to be giving as prizes? Pokemon mats or just solid color ones?

Nope that was they may be in Indiana, which I got confirmed today, but they will only be buying and selling singles in Indiana, another company will be there selling product. Fantasy Games out of South Bend will handle all non-single card sales.

why is registration so early?

Dunno what you're talking about. I haven't been to a Constructed Premier tournament in YEARS that had registration starting later than 9:30am. Most of the Chicago area tournaments are 9am regs, possibly earlier depending on the location. This is about the norm from what I've seen.

So are you saying that Troll and Toad will only be in IN and not MI?

Unless they buy them from the players, no. These were all paid for by myself (hence they there is a limited 200 of them). This isn't a Pokemon Int item. Some of the PTO's accross the country got together and got them made. So it is up to the individual PTO if they put the money down to get them or not. That is why they do not have the state name on them, as creating them in bulk was cheaper that way. Colors will differ thruout the US but some PTO's may have ordered the same color. Color was up to each PTO.

I honestly don't see every player getting these, as last year at Indiana we had 160+ players. This year the only other state running that weekend anywhere close is Wisconsin. Next closest is Arkansas, so I can see this event possibly being as big as Regionals was back in November....

I have never heard PTO's doing that before. Very interesting. I will not be playing unless I can get something in my Zekrom EX tin so I hope I can get my hands on the dice,

Anytime there are dice, the PTO put the money forward for them. Most door prizes are paid for by the PTO's. Heck a few years ago I did iPods with the Pokemon Organized Play logo etched into them. However once Apple started doing game apps I couldn't get permission anymore to use the logo. So I had to do something else.
