    Tournament history project

    To try to collect and preserve the history of champions within our game, we will be compiling a list with our collective knowledge and creating a document. Ideally, when completed, I will begin the process of working with Bulbapedia (and maybe other sites, or in place of Bulbapedia) to have...

    New way to redeem packs on PTCGO- buy a box

    We've all encountered the shortcomings of the RNG on the PTCGO. My solution is to have a way to purchase a box of online codes, which will act similarly to a physical box, in that you are nearly guaranteed a certain number of cards like exs, shinies, etc. As it is now, you are essentially...

    Suggestion for PTOs: Update round pairings and standings via your website

    It's a simple suggestion, and I think it would reduce the disorganization of players, reduce clogging of certain traffic areas, and overall reduce the length of a tournament a little bit. You also have the positives of exposure to your website, and more media access and publicity for those who...

    Misstep in Boundaries Crossed Release

    Rumors have been spreading like wildfire. Since the sets that pokemon releases are in alphabetical, one need only see 2 cards from a range to make certain assumptions about what cards can and can't be in the set. Since we have quite a few scans of cards, it is quite obvious that neither...

    The latest screw up from Pokemon- Dragon Vault and Regionals

    1. How do you know a set is going to be released on October 5th (earlier in France) and make no announcement about its legality until 9 days before its release, and 17 days before regionals? 2. Why, when you DO "make an announcement", it isn't even done through an official avenue? If this...

    No electronic devices-- How about no timekeeping devices

    1. One cannot uses electronic devices during a match. 2. An electronic/digital watch should not be used during a match, if the above is true. 3. If an electronic/digital watch should not be used during a match, neither should a regular one. Further, Watches should not be allowed...

    Post-Nationals reflection on improvements for next year

    First off, I'd like to thank all of the staff and judges at this year's US national championships. 3 day event is amazing. All of my opponents were relatively knowledgeable of the game (the PP requirement almost guaranteed this, which was nice), and all of the judges I interacted with were...

    Thinking of skipping Nationals, and why others/you are too

    Has anyone else tried to book a hotel room for Nationals? Incredibly hard. It's looking like a much worse nationals already, but this fact is only compounded by the expected format for the event. The FAQ describes the format tersely- "MD-on". What does this mean? I am sure many of you...

    Why Nintendo should give out lots of digital boosters when they begin selling

    Nintendo, if/when they do plan to sell cards digitally, should give out a lot of boosters/packs/decks online to stimulate growth in certain areas. Here is why- 1. If you give out "free booster pack(s)" when you register online, you encourage people to try it out. No one will want to buy 1s and...

    Roll minimum for dice- what say you?

    Similar to a 3 rotation minimum for a coin toss to be considered a legitimate randomization, I want to suggest a similar rotation minimum for a dice randomizer. Simple. What say you all?

    Consistency, and why it should matter more to you

    I want to discuss, analyze, and argue for the important of consistency in lists, especially at this specific point in the season. First, we must explain what it is we mean by consistency. We will be using our friend Webster's third definition for the word: agreement or harmony of parts or...

    Philosophy

    Let's do it: David, the statue, exists on Tuesday, but not on Monday. The lump of clay exists on Monday (and on Tuesday). If the lump of clay exists while the statue of David does not, the two are not the same object. Therefore, David the statue is not the lump of clay. --- I want this...

    Top 8 Delaware Report

    I went with luxchomp with techs because of its consistency and my unfamiliarity with the area. R1- Salamence/Kingdra tech Weak to L and C, and I run those two types.
