Rainbowgym,
Once again I was not there, but I had my spies
I don't know if the person you're talking about was from Intrafin. He had a WotC shirt ? Quite funny that, if he's working for the distributor, he doesn't know that it's not Wizards anymore.
It seems that there was only one judge for the event.
You'll agree on the fact that it's difficult to judge a 56 players event, including deckcheck, alone
I've sent a mail to Ria (the judge/TO) to congratulate her because I really find it's great to do what she has done.
In Paris there were 6 judges for 35 players, all from Asmodee and open to ideas and suggestions.
Of course, none of them has experience of Pokemon main events, but they've done their best to have the rules followed and a good tournament.
Penalty guideline ? I think I've seen one somewhere on a US website talking about something they called OP.
I have myself suggested best of 3 in 30 minutes. The schedule of the tournament allowed only 6 rounds of 30 minutes (or less but longer rounds, and a National in 4 rounds would have been completely stupid). I think a National is too important to play single games and give a too big place to luck in the game. Bad opening hand and you lose the match ?
Do I have to tell you that, in Europe, some people are players, judges and TO for a long time ?
Some of them have played events like STSQ, Gym Challenges, Gym Stadiums, Worlds, TMB.

But as these people are not needed by PUI and C°, they've already left, or are leaving POP.
They've left that job to real professionals
And who still cares about giving players a correct base in a POP without correct tournaments and OP ? :lol:
