Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

No music while we play Tcg, please

I too enjoyed the music played. Unlike the overly loud VGC music that spreads from the one area and feels off-balance, the music played over the whole event hall had a more relaxing feel. It was like a store that plays music.

Nope, you have it all wrong. I went 7-2 in swiss and my two loses were after the music was taken off, and made top-32. In fact, I did not enjoy the music because two of my swiss round opponents were singing to the music, then making tremendous errors that required a judge to issue a prize penalty. I don't like easy wins.More importantly, I think the TCG should be treated like a game of chess. A quite, peaceful environment to concentrate on ones move.

It didn't bother me at all.

Don't expect them to turn down/off the music because one person complains about it.

apparently more than one person did suggest to them to turn down the music--and they did!

Nationals. Bigger, Louder, and UnCut. I wants me some musica when I plays. Makes me feel good. Just as long as it's not techno-babble that most pop is these days...

Once again, not everyone has the same taste in music. If music makes a player play better, then why doesn't everyone here who enjoyed the music ask Play! Pokemon to allow them to listen to their headphones during the match?

I really enjoyed the music.

Not only was it accessible (beastie boys, phoenix, and other great pop music), but it wasn't too loud or drowning. It was a perfect volume and really added to the downtime at the event.


Please play music again next year! Day 1 was great with all the music, and I missed it on day 2.

I can even DJ if you need one :thumb:. Otherwise, whatever DJ or radio or playlist you had was great.

Because that's an electronic device.

I could listen to commentary on a particular matchup, or a podcast of advice, or simple have my headphones connected to my phone (how most people listen to music anyways), and just receive a call and get advice from someone who can talk into my ear. Just opens too much room for shady activity.


It also introduces a slippery slope- then why do we allow X but not Y, etc.
 
I like Pokemon TCG to be treated like something fun, it is a children's card game, anyhow.. The music was upbeat and lightened the moods of many of the people I talked to, including my opponents. I was enjoying the music and I really missed it Day 2. :/

But you can't make everyone happy. Oh well.

You're cool. idgaf to be honest.
 
I did not like the music as well. I went to all the judges, staff, and etc and no one seemed to have control over the music.
 
I mentioned that it sounded odd to have music playing during the matches of the main event, saying that it might be distracting to some people, but I tuned it out while playing. After all, I always seem to have my own soundtrack playing in my head.
 
I enjoyed the music quite a bit. In fact, I didn't hear a single complaint. My entire table was happy about it, and all of my friends and family after the round were too.
 
If you misplay because there's music on you don't deserve to win nationals. It's really not that difficult to block out, and this is coming from someone with ADD
 
Looking at the faces of the competitors in master's blue flight, most seemed to be enjoying the music (judging by the smiles and rhythmic motions that started as songs changed). It wasn't overly loud or demanding of mental attention (as some restaurant music can be, for example). Background music seems OK as long as it stays in the background.

That said, some of the 'rah rah' announcements Sunday were a bit loud judging by the occasional flinching of the young men with nerves of steel competing in the MA T16 & up when speakers launched into their pitch. I think that was mostly an audio level issue, which got sorted out as the day went on.
 
All I did was speak to the wonderful women working at the information table about turning off the music and it went off. It was horrible. I agree that music in the background can be a good thing but the stuff that was playing was offensive and unexpectedly turned on in the middle of a round. I'm glad it stayed off.
