Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Platinum Prereleases in Virginia!!

wait, vorg, u go to rockville leage? me 2! message me! also, thats a good question, is the draft after flight 1, cuz i could go to that..
 
Yup, and you were registered for league--probably just a US Mail delay.

WOW .. he answers a question and things happen!

That's SO WEIRD ... we got POP packs TODAY!! ahahahahahaa

I should ask more unrelated questions ...

uhmmm


"Hey, is it possible i can pull 17 LvXs from 1 box or is that just other people's luck?"

(when Totoro answers this, our collection will be SO BOSS!!!)

HEY HELEN..

Thank you for giving little Vickie the card. It was her FIRST EVER Pokemon event and you WOW'd her with your generosity.
Random acts of Kindness = way cool.
 
Almost 100 unique players in attendance = also way cool!! (although I'll agree the random acts of kindness wins!)

Thanks for a GREAT Saturday, Fairfax!! We continue to be the #1 Poke Location on the East Coast!!! Sorry about the lack of a draft, but I have an event to run tomorrow and I need some cards!!!!

Again, thanks for an amazing day!

:smile:
No problem. Newbies getting a good first impression of the game is more important to me than a random card I have 8 of.


Thanks for doing such a good job, Totoro, Leah, and Javier. Fastest Fairfax event in months, I think.
 
A great time. I didn't think I'd ever see 5 rounds in a prerelease again.

I was told there were 94 players total. I think that number includes the theme deck challenge. I think we ented up turning away 4 people for flight 1 and 2 people in flight 2, but we really tried to get everyone in that we could. Excellent showing everyone! When you make an event in Virginia the largest on the east coast, it definitely makes PUI look in our direction (or so I like to think :cool:)

A fun time, although now feeling has returned to my legs so they now hurt :redface::frown:

For your advanced knowledge, we will be trying an online preregistration form for the next event at Hobby Works. This means you will not need to call the store to sign up (atleast 1 PTO reminds me that it is long distance for him to call <_< ). The form does not require an e-mail address or an account to use. However, it does mean that you will need internet access in order to sign up (at home, at a library, or other public location). We believe this will help expedite the registration process and it give us the ability to always know see the registration list's numbers.

:eek: Why do you hate me now? :frown:

@totoro: When I was trying to describe the league operations to you, I was trying to say that your idea is what WotC used in its Battlezone cycle (not Battle Road like I kept trying to say), which followed "Energize Your Game," and what POP did with its Hoenn cycle. The lanyards were used with the Battle Frontier cycle for the league activities.

I was a last minute substitution.

What do you mean everyone? Kevin wasn't there, although he did say he was going to try to come by and taunt me, Javier, Leah, and totoro.

Yeah, but Kevin wasn't there. I meant out of people who were there. Wait, which Kevin, anyway?
 
Go to sleep already!! Oh, it's morning!! Time to head to the beach! Packing up seems, ummm, lighter today!! :thumb:
 
Yeah, I woke up this morning and feeling had returned to my arms.

Anyway, there is just something about this picture. I was taking the picture, so I didn't see what has caught the attention of 2 of the 3 in the picture that was so shocking. :confused:

How was Virginia Beach? Were able to use the last 3 theme decks and do a round robbin?

Lucario ex, do you have Rockville's numbers? The report still hasn't been processed for that event.

EDIT: a stack of cards and card sleeves was left at the energy card table some time after flight 1 ended at Fairfax. Some of the sleeves are from prerelease tournaments of past sets. To claim this, please PM me. You will need to tell me something identifying the stack, such as noteworthy cards or a group of cards, the kind of card sleeves that are in the stack, condition of a particular card(s), etc. I'll hold onto this for a month but will consider it a league donation should an amount of time afterwards transpire without an owner coming forward.

hmmm .. . let's turn on my new Totoro ghetto-talk TRANSLATOR....

INPUT phrase:
"Sorry about the lack of a draft, but I have an event to run tomorrow and I need some cards!!!!"

OUTPUT ghetto speak:
"My Bad about the Draft not happnin'. But, I was beat-down-tired and wasn't tryin' to be there all night messin' with y'all."

:lol:
 
The beach was very high energy and bigger than any other prerelease we've done there (maybe any event--I'll check) 32 players (I honestly expected around 25!!) I'm hoping the players there make it to Manassas for States and Sandston for Regionals!!!
 
I don't hate you. I didn't know you were judging flight 2. Why did everyone get to judge today except me?:frown:

Because you played flight 1. Isn't that enough?:smile:

Oh well, see everyone at states.
 
I had so much fun. By the end of it I had collected two Level X's (Dialga G X and Palkia G X which I traded for three Xs and 2 EXs.), two Secret Rares (Scyther and Electabuzz) and all three Shinings. I was amazed that I pulled both a Level X and a Shiny in ONE PACK. Level X and Shiny pack I have witnesses. There are so many new deck possibilities with set, can't wait to see what people come up with for states.
