FUN CONTEST: Guess the Damage Counters!


I`m offering this fun contest for everyone to have a chance to win a Jumbo Torchic Plush!!! What you do is try to guess the amount of Damage Counters in the jar. Closest person to the correct # of Damage counters in the jar wins the prize! In case of a tie, the winner will be decided randomly by die roll between the tied contestants. Anyone can enter this contest (meaning parents and siblings of players can enter) but each person only gets one guess slip to cast their best guess. You must be present to win.


FUN CONTEST #2 : Coloring Contest!


Like to win a Pichu or Marril plush given out in this contest? 2 random winners will be chosen for the grand prizes in this contest. One winner will receive a Pichu plush and the other winner will receive the Marril plush. The pictures to be colored will be provided on site along with crayons or you can even bring in one you colored yourself at home!!


Note: Decklists will be required and checked beforehand.Blank copies available on site but you can also download one HERE by clicking on "Deck Registration Sheet"(Not the DCI one).-A big thanx to Marril2k for giving us permission to use.


* Nintendo DS Bundle Pack consists of: a Nintendo DS, a Supermario64 game for Nintendo DS, a pack of extra "Stylus", and a pack of screen protectors for the DS.

Thanks, Sensei, for getting the GC in before I leave for Japan!! Team Ivy will be there, uh-huh!!
 
Just an FYI: POP has stated on their site the GC`s that the Finals (Top "x") will be single elim (and they had the Regionals as best of 3 single elim Finals).

A single elimination tournament would be fun, and fast, but I know you mean the top X will be single elim, not the tournament itself.

What is the Tournament Structure?
The Tournament is run using the Modified Format and Age Modified Swiss pairings. See the Pokémon Tournament Rules for information about the Modified Format and Age Modified Swiss. The number of Swiss rounds run will depend on total attendance at the event.

After Swiss rounds are complete, there will be a cut to single-elimination finals. The number of players to qualify for the finals will be dependent upon the total attendance in each age bracket.
 
Can you smell it everybody? Yupp thats right, Team FAT are making their big return. Rodney and I have been playtesting, figuring out what were going to play, and trying out as many decks as possible. We are gonna guarrantee that we bring our absolute best decks. Team FAT is coming back bigger and fatter then ever.
