Urgent question - is LM valid for CC?

[manicgiraffe]

Hi,
I know the usual stuff about sets being legal the day they're released, but I'm not sure it applies to LM at these last CCs.

Reasons:
City Championships are meant to have finished by now as far as I can tell, with state championships (internationally) starting next week. These last few in the UK have been squeezed in.
If LM is allowed, that will mean CCs have been run in three different formats.
The decklist form only includes HL - DS
The prize structure is of Delta Species packs

I'm going to one tomorrow, so info would be appreciated!

Yes, it was made legal as of last Monday, don't worry. Its been confirmed in the CC thread.

Thanks for lmk
Will the prizes still be DS then (argh, more dittos)? MG

[pokeguru]

Yep, prize support remains the same, unless your TO decides to add more, i.e SOME LM to it.

There may be LM prizes at Regionals/Nats, but if its like it was last year, probably not.

LM will be given out at Regionals (well the americans are getting it)

[pokeguru]

the US regionals are technically our states, Kish. They promised DX boosters for states last year in the states and we got RR as our non-specific "Pokemon booster packets".

If its like it was last year, it'll be DS throughout. I'd hope it'd have UF or LM somewhere, but I'd doubt it.

There is as yet no confimation on anything to do with the UK Regionals/States.

We are still awaiting info from TPfG and prize support is just one of many questions TO's need answers to..

:frown:

or to put it another way... States??? WHAT STATES!

is it the last minute yet????? Or if that is too negative then how about Tpfg have a JIT policy.

Well depending how TPFG feel, we may get SS packs :P

TPFG seem to have been caught out by this late CC
There were no boosters or prize packs available, and the badges were last years o.0!
The TO asked for my opinion on what to do for the boosters, so it was a choice of DS or UF as prizes from his shop stock. Suited me, I love UF and got a Tyranitar EX.
Will the TO eventually get the prize support as it was meant to be? I don't think he got the booster distribution quite right, though he did his best.
AITO I didn't play any LM, but it was good to know, thanks

Well depending how TPFG feel, we may get SS packs :P
Yay, rare candy!

If its like it was last year, it'll be DS throughout. I'd hope it'd have UF or LM somewhere, but I'd doubt it. They have to find somewhere for all the dittos and castforms... maybe they're preserving the rarity of Unown? :wink:

We haven't recieved ANY prize/judge support from TPfG yet - knowing what we did last year, we'll probably end up getting it after nationals - just what we need. More Dittos/Castform too late. We got our badges and goody bags ok, but just no boosters. =/

We did get boosters at the end thanks to our TO, but he shouldn't have to give out his own product when TPfG don't appear to be supplying us.

BTW, not just Rare Candy - 50 HP fossils! w00t!

Plus Unown aren't all that Unown if just everyone can get them! :biggrin:
