Seen at a recent Regionals, there were a number of requests for the “Player Responsibilities” POSTER*on the pairings boards, so we’re posting them here. While they are not ‘official rulings’ they may be helpful to event organizers looking to reinforce or provide players a reference for Players Meeting announcements.
The ENVELOPE format is included for large events that pass out Promo cards and raffle tickets. Put those in the envelope and now your player has a reason to care about the player responsibilities document. It have been observed that putting out information sheets at each place in the player meeting can just result in*them being shoved aside for quick games, trading and last minute deck list work… but the envelopes get picked up.
Here are the links for the Microsoft Word documents, and the full text of the poster. Let us know your results and contribute back any improved documents to the discussion thread on the PokeGym:
