It would be nice if they'd announce it somewhere besides the League Leader Forums. If one of my Leaguers hadn't mentioned seeing it on PokeGym I'd have never known. Now I'm having to wait until the powers that be decide to grant me accesss to the forums before I can see the official announcement. < /rant >

It's about time that there was some kind of OP for the TFG. I've ben demoing it since it came out but the packs are so expensive that not many local people were willing to buy more than a pack or two since there weren't tournaments or leagues for it.

Well the Memphis League does it.
I set up in one area and Grabed my team, and told people they could use any of my 60 figures that I was not using and any trainer cards.
I got 5 (Best 2 out of 3) battles befor I left...
I won all 5!

me too.
The TFG is effectively dead at my leagues. About a week or two before the announcement, about 4 people were playing it at league, but it really is very sporatic. I've got to try to reorganize my TCG stuff before I can even hope to support the TFG properly. My manager put it best when he said that it's easy to bring a binder of 400 cards in every week; not so simple to haul in cases of 400 figures.
On that note, one of my leagues was digging through old stuff and stumbled across the Pokemon battling coin game, or the ancestor of the TFG as I call it. The TFG needs to apply mechanics from that. hum.... that gives me an idea.

Large and 3D is the problem. No one's going to bring a whole bunch of figs unless they can count on having someone to play against.
I dislike the lack of official info. Post an official announcement, don't just say there's one on the POP forums. No offense meant, but I have no way of knowing that this isn't an elaborate joke.

whoa: how can it get any more 'official' than a post on POP's _own forums_? that's their medium for directly communicating info to their LLs/owners, professors and PTOs, after all...
sorry, but IMHO one's responsibility as a LL or other role in POP should include reading the relevant POP forums. the link is in your my pokemon, along with the rest of the league-specific links like reporting; if you can't access the forum then contact POP to get your permissions set correctly.

whoa: how can you expect a message that is meant for LLs/owners, professors, and PTOs to be read if posted on a forum that less than a quarter of them visit more than 4 times a month? If the message was important enough, POP should have e-mailed it.
It is no one's responsibility to visit that forum. Messages get posted there (infrequently), we choose to follow up when we get the time. The amount of LLs who visit that forum this past month can most likely be counted on no more than 2 or 3 hands. If the message is important enough, those who don't visit it will see it on other sources, like here, Pokebeach, etc. Some probably even second hand from leaguers who saw the news on another website and passed it to the LL. Every thread of any importance to LLs et al has someone who has asked "can this info be reposted on Pokegym, etc?"
sorry, but IMHO, the official medium, on topics like this, should be the main website. But the news that Leagues has now blessed the TFG it isn't even there :nonono: .
I am curious, SD_Pokemom, based on your response in the TFG board about wanting proof that Liesik said to not give points for the TFG, were you one of the LLs who were unofficially doing it?
sorry to disappoint you, but no: with 35-40+ kids, 70+ matches to record per 2 hour weekly session, i don't have time to give points for anything not officially sanctioned as a league activity. now that it IS sanctioned, i brought my own two starter sets to league last week for those who wished to demo the game.

disappoint me? ouch.
Was there a lot of interest for the demo? It's just too much for me to carry at the current time. My league attendance per week reaches into the high 40s as well. Do you plan to just bring starter sets? If not, what are you currently using, or plan to use, to bring them to league? Do you think you'll appoint someone else to handle TFG activities while you focus on TCG activities?
i had my sons supervising/demo'ing the game to league members, as i didn't want the figures spun incorrectly or 'lost'. both players get scorecard points.
several of my league members and/or parents worked demo'ing the game in the PUI booth at SDCC last july, so i do have people available who can show league members the basics of the game. rule #1: spin the BASE, not the figure...
right now i'm thinking i'm going to keep it to 3-on-3, unless players start bringing their own figures. other than the starters, i'm not completely comfortable yet with the idea of bringing my own collection for use at league.
