Respect the judge I was at Johnston for the RI State Championship. There was a judge at the table who observed this entire situation. That judge made a ruling on this. All of us need to learn to respect that ruling. It is sad to see people who weren't at the event second guess and disrespect...

looking for a space Hello all For the past few years we have been looking for a location that could host a premiere event in the greater Boston area. Currently we are holding events from time to time at Comicazi at Arlington which seats 55. Our problem has been finding a location that could...

Great first weekend Hello everyone! Judy and I wanted to congradulate the winners and thank all the players that came out to play in our City Champs Tourneys this past weekend. Cherry Valley had 75 players while Tewksburry drew 71 players. It was interesting to see that each age division was...

A new beginning The REAL opportunity here for pokemon now is to offer video game tourneys side by side to both Pokemon tcg and Pokemon minis to help expose our games to a whole new audience. I know that for many of your Orgins was a huge plus as it gave you the opportunity to play other gams at...

This is the best possible move for Pokemon to make. No longer will the US National Championship be simply an event at a conventioin. Now US Nats IS THE EVENT. This move will allow PUI to do so much more for us as at Orgins they didn't have free reign to do whatever they wanted as PUI needed to...

Sportsmanship versus gamesmanship There are several issues in this thread that bother me. For starters where is the sportsmanship? Players don't need to write tournament reports that brag how stupid some of their opponets were or how many times they misplayed. We are starting to see a...

2009 US Nats location Hello everyone! The really great thing about the guys from Pokemon USA is that they are not satisfied with the tournament that they run each year. They work really hard to improve the event. The best thing that anyone on these boards can do is give them specific...

gamestates It really helps the judges when players maintain really clean game states. Keeping cards in the field of play longer than they really are, not having all the cards visable, and not clearly communicating what you are doing, makes things harder than they need to be. It is also helpful...
