Decklist's can be found on go-pokemon.com, along with dates, times and locations of Battle Roads too. All you really need is a deck of cards to play with (Oh, and damage counters help too ). More info is also available on go-pokemon.com
I'm at the mercy of the organisers I sent the solicitation too. If they don't respond then there will be no event for them. Maybe not this time around but at some point in the future this will happen.
I have several organisers who want to run multiple events much as they have done in the past. I've asked them to hold off until I hear back from the newer leagues that may have been neglected in the past. It will be very dissapointing if there are no new venues this time around.
The holiday season has just about ended so I should be hearing from some more organisers soon. I'm sure that the players want events that are actually going to happen and I know I'd like to deal with organisers I don't have to chase too frequently.
