UK City Championship Dates 2006/2007 season
- Thread starter ukpokemonpro
- Start date
I have never met a single person in real life who plays the card game!!! So frustrating.
I searched the shopping mall for cards this morning. All they had was the World Championship Decks. So I bought the Eevee Evolutions and B-L-S ones. I love them so far. But I want to play someone real.
Rather than myself.
I've sent an e-mail to the London League guy and joined here, but a year of searching has got me nowhere. I once got my brother to play, but he hates the decks I build, and his are amazingly weak. (12 basic, 4 evolution, 30 energy, 14 crappy trainers for example.) He couldn't even use a deck that was a mix of certain ex cards built around Jungle Wigglytuff's do the Wave. not even with Poké Fan Club and Lanette's Net Search to help! He insisted on using Chansey's Double Edge, then 4 potions (which he added) then Double Edge again. Useless boy.
If I do go to a tournament I'll be awful because of no experience, but I'd love it. So please,please, rather than giving me links like I've previously had, does anyone at all know of any tournaments DEFINATELY happening in London soon?

err the ones listed here are almost certainly definately positively going to happen.
If you want some fun then go to a pre-release... there are several running in the UK at the moment. Take your deck with you and I'm certain that someone will give you a game and probably some advice on fixing it if you ask.
By The Way give us a clue as to where you live. Which bit of london will help. London is a big place.

Emeralda, I'm just wondering if you know about the official site:
op.pokemon-tcg.com
Its half USA, and half Internation (the rest of the world). Make sure you're in the right bit, and you should be able to find a list of the UK Prereleases. The site also explains how they work. You can better prepare yourself by signing up for a POP ID online - you'll need this to attend any official event and it will save you having to fill in the form once you're there.
If UK tournaments look a bit confusing from the posts on these forums, that's because people are having trouble with City Championships. You won't find these listed properly on the official site at the moment. This shouldn't affect other tournaments, or prereleases though.
Hope you figure it out!

I live in West London, but I don't really fancy giving out my location closer than that on the net.
I have now signed up for a POP ID... And I have found one in Hackney next Saturday.
Thank you!
It does make me wonder though - why have people on other forums not just told me that before! Well, you guys are great.

No problem, hope it goes well for you!
Its often all about where you ask. I, like many others using pokegym, am an organiser. We have a vested interest in pointing people in the right direction
Emeralda - I see that's an event by John Hawkins. He does offer a contact number elsewhere on pokegym, which is 07989 979991. For some reason that event isn't listed on our Prerelease thread, so it woudn't hurt to send a text to double-check.

See if you can play in one of the theme deck challenges too it's a good way to get a working deck and boosters cheap
Good luck and welcome to the family of uk pokemon players :clap:

LOL John tends to stay away from the boards and given the chaos in London today with traffic I guess he may have been busy ??
Any how Theme Deck Challenge is a Theme Deck and 4 Boosters and have fun
- It's not a sanctionable format so how John/Jack will run it is down to him I guess..

I've just got off the phone from TPFG, who say that the Dragon Frontiers have now arrived and been shipped - TO's should have an e-mail today to confirm. The packs should arrive tomorrow...
Don't shoot me if I'm wrong, but it was Carl I spoke to, so I'm waiting for the packs to arrive.
Good luck to the other TO's out there, I hope everyone gets what they are expecting.

Yeh, I know exactly what you mean. Me too. I gave my deck minus the holon engine to my brother and he is very weak with it. I'd say netdeck from one of the archetypes and get good at using it. I made Top 8 at the Nationals doing that. Good luck.
Is the Manchester CC still on with all the snow? Hope to see anyone there.

Updated Horsham with Nigel Edneys contact details and changed postcode
Crewe City Championships
Date: Saturday 10th February 2007
Venue:
Edleston Road Social Club
137 Edleston Road
Crewe
Cheshire
CW2 7HP
Time : 11am
This has appeared very late on the OP site.
I have not confirmed this with Tom, the organiser.
As the reigning Crewe City Champion, I find it very disappointing that this is being held on the same day as the Manchester CC, just 20miles away.
My loyalty has to be with Manchester, as that is where I first started playing Pokemon.
