Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Houston, Texas TCG & VG Regional Championships - October 13 & 14

Prize support for TCG and VG has been listed on post #1. All Championship points are TBA (to be announced) for both groups.
 
I'll be there, hopefully it's "cool enough" to be Pikachu.
(It's never cold here ever)

I don't think any CP for 2012-13 had been announced yet.
I bet though it's going to be about the same or similar to last season.

I don't know I could be wrong being that there are 3 regional times.

Last year I barely made it in VGC, I borrowed a friends game (LOL)
I had no idea what I was doing but it was fun.

Thanks so much! I was wondering if you (or Team Cook) would be able to tell me if the VG event will be straight Swiss like last year, or if we'll be having a Top Cut. As always any information at all would be appreciated!
