Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

SP's VA regionals report

You dont see the FAQs and other papers that are sent to PTOs for running events either, yet you dont Q that?
I don't understand the question. I can't Q them, I never see them and they don't get published in an easily found area if they even are published, but it'd be nice for someone to show them to me. They would qualify as official. I didn't hear an announcement about it at Regionals, so forgive me if it was made. If there was no announcement about it, then an announcement should have been made at the start of the event informing players that a change has been handed down to the TOs that is currently not reflected in the rules.

Personally, I disagree with the way such rulings are handed down using secret FAQs and other papers. The precedent that such papers have priority over the rules as publically posted bothers me, not to mention that keeping the information inside the PTO group keeps judges and professors who should have access to such information about how to run tournaments in the dark. Despite being a professor, I feel there is little effort to get such rules changes passed to me.:frown: The best I can do is judge on the rules that are most current that I can see, which at the moment are outdated by documents not publically posted :nonono:

Odd... You are a Professor, but you decided to complain about this here, rather than here...
 
@ SC: Well, since these changes were announced at CCs (If I recall) and for States (The ones I judged at) it was announced prior to the start of the event that standings would no longer go up. I dont control who/when the updates go up on the OP website. All I know is this is the rule and we do it. Why do you think the pairings and match slips now have your records on them? It didnt do this before TOM 1.29 version.

I wish someone would've said "THERE'S SUICIDAL_PICACHU" So I'd know who you were. I always like to try to match Pokegym names with real live faces.
