This would be the fourth Cities attended by myself and my eldest Son. I've played Speed Donphan in the first Cities and Switched to ZPST for the second two. My son in Senior's had put together a Lanturn deck to run at all of these Cities and after a very rocky 0-5 start with it (because of...

For the fourth year in a row, Team Ugly is pleased to announce the return of the Ugly Cup as the major side-event for Canadian Nationals. As most of you are aware there have been a couple of major changes that have impacted the primary goal of the Ugly Cup which has been to provide an...

If time is called between the time Player 1 declares his attack and Player 2 draws his card for hand, is Player 2's Turn considered Turn 0 or Turn 1 for determining the order of play for the "+3". Thanks in advance

In light of the announcement regarding the format change for the LCQ this year and the changes to the Prize support for Nationals (i.e. the removal of one paid trip per age category), it seems that I may need to reconsider the underlying goal for holding the Ugly Cup. The underlying rationale...

I understand that their was such a Seminar at US Nats this year and that their were even some slots not used by nats tournament staff, so their was an opportunity for less experienced judges to improve their skills. I was wondering if such an event might be occuring at Worlds and whether their...

As many of you know, we lost a well loved member of our Poke-Community, Paul Strasbourg, this year after a prolonged battle with cancer. In memory of Paul we will be running a side-event starting at 7:00 pm (or the ending of the Swiss Rounds for the Masters which ever is later). A $10...

Reading the question and answer, I wasn't quite sure of the answer to the second part of the question: If Ninetales uses Color shift in the active position and returns to the bench does the effect of the Pokepower get removed. I believe based on the distinction between an effect placed by...

Is the effect of Dark Engage removed when a Pokemon is retreated to the bench? Example: Pokemon X is up with Moonlight Stadium in Play, with Luxray GL and Weaville SW on the bench. Dark Engage is invoked so that Pokemon X retreats for free with Luxray GL Promoted, Leveled Up, Bright Look...

Having looked at the S/P/T thread I notice a somewhat concerning trend of significant reduction in Junior attendance. In Canada we went from 79 players in 4 Provincial Tournaments to 58. With only one jurisdiction (Ontario) showning an increase and it was far lower than the overall increase...

So after some internal debate in the family as to where we would play our second provincial tournament, we decided to play in Alberta. Mainly Mrs. Ugly constraint that we go somewhere warm, was over-ruled as she was unfortunately not able to join us this year owing to a vacation timing...

Say we have a Ho-Oh Legend with 4 Special Dark Energies on it and Weaville SW is used to turn Ho-Oh legend into a Dark Pokemon. +40 damage or not, now that all energy attached to Ho-Oh are turned to fire energy "noting that the body does not say provides fire energy". The root of the...

Is it possible to play Level Max from your hand if you have no benched or active pokemon that have Lvl X forms. Generally the question is does the game know whether there is no legal Lvl X card for the pokemon in play and hence prevent playing a trainer that has no game effect. Based on the...

I attack my opponent using Luxray's Trashbolt attack. My opponent has Giratina X in play with Invisible Tentacles. Does the energy I discard from my hand for Trash Bolt, count as the cost for Invisible Tentacles or must I discard another energy in order for the attack to suceed. If the...

On the turn that Salamence is levelled up (hence Double Fall is in Effect), Salamence uses Shoot Through and knocks out 2 Pokemon - the active and one on the bench. Reading Double Fall, it indicates two prize cards for each Pokemon knocked out by Salamence's attack, so do I draw 4 prize cards...

Having touched base with one other family that went to World's who came home with a truely nasty bug, I was wondering how widespread it was, and whether anyone got a diagnosis for this which was more comprehensive then it was some form of respitory viral infection. Here's a synoposis of my...

Here are standing into Round 5 Masters Andrew V. 2-2 James N. Drop Sebastian C. 3-1 Gordon C. Drop Dexter P. 2-2 Marvin P. 2-2 Bidier J. 1-3 Seniors Kevin G. 3-1 Paul A. 2-2 Keyvan 2-2 Michael L. 2-2 Alaric MB 2-2 Juniors Quinn 2-2 Paige 1-3 Tristan 1-3 Justin...

As for myself I'm in a mining camp two hours outside of Caracas Venezuela. Wish there was more news!!

The whole crew has been pretty excited about Nationals for a number of weeks, so Friday we tweak the deck lists, play a few rounds amongst the neighbors and try and get a good night sleep. Saturday we head to the venue and wait for registration to be completed. There's a bit of a sleeve fetish...

After missing top cut all around at Ontario Provincials, there was some desparation in Ugly Land as we looked for the missing ingredient to put up a respectible showing at Regionals and event which certainly has been less then kind for the past two years. It was here that Quinn rejected my...
