Tournament Format
Players will compete in a number of rounds of NEW Modified Constructed swiss play. Players will be paired using Age Modified Swiss pairings. The number of Swiss rounds run will depend on total attendance at the event.

After Swiss rounds are complete, there will be a top eight cut to single elimination finals. Single Elimination will be played using the Best Two out of Three Match Play. There are three games per match, no time limit. Players competing in the Single Elimination finals will not be able to participate in the any side event.

With the exception of basic Energy cards and previously printed cards that appear in current sets, players may not use cards from older Pokemon sets. New sets are allowed as soon as the product has been released. There are no cards currently banned in the Modified tournament environment.

For more information on this event and others check out the Official Pokemon Organized Play website at op.pokemon-tcg.com.

Tournament Structure
Players will be paired using Age Modified Swiss. All rounds will be played with a Modified deck that you constructed. Players will have 30 minutes to complete each round, with each player putting out 6 Prize cards. Players who win a game receive three points, a player who loses a game receives zero points. If a tie occurs between prizes, there is no sudden death, both players receive one point.

TCG Side Events
We will be holding one or two side events depending on attendance and interest. Side Tournaments will start as soon as the main event ends as long as enough people are interested.
 
Hey, Fl. players, THIS event will be a good one to attend. GREAT prize support, and it is also a new format so it will be a good opportunity to see what's being played. Nothing beats a day of Pokemon with Heidi and her staff.
 
Also, in order to speed things up, please feel free to print out one of our decklists and fill that out. We expect to see a few players show up with old 2003-2004 Modified decks. We're going to try our best to weed out those players who have problems with their decks, but for the sake of time, please fill out a deck list:

You will need Adobe Reader (a free download) to view/print the decklist.

Ok I'm moving to Florida. The boxes that you can win, are they FRLG?

Players will have an option to pick the product they want based on their final outcome. Let's say you take first. You now have first pick as to what two boxes you want to take. Then we continue going down the list. We might or might not have enough FRLG for the lower ranked players who take 9th through 16th, but ALL of the prizes will be from the new Modified sets (RS-On) so we're not handing out crappy packs like Neo Destiny or anything. ;)

I'm positive we have an excess of Hidden Legends and Team Magma vs. Team Aqua. Older sets I'm not positive about. You'll have to check at the event.
