At all times, in all places?

First of all, this may be wrong but not far from the truth, I am viewed by Lia and the other 3 TO's as an enemy.
I haven't been the only one with some negative experiences with the TOs. In one of the City Championships in Holland, they caused such an uproar that the shopowner, who had nothing to do with the tournament itself or any conflicts as far as I know, stated that the 4 TOs and their clubs weren't welcome anymore.
But instead of accepting the fact, because they had 3 CC to go in close distance, while players in Groningen had to travel far if they wanted to compete in them, they decided to step to PUI, and recommended cancelling of the tournament, which happened. A funny little note was that PUI didn't let our TO know, he had to hear it from me, after I read it in a post on a local messageboard from Lia.
Afterwards, PUI came back to their decision and said that in retrospect, they wouldn't have cancelled the CC, because the distributor, PS-Games, is in charge here and is free to do as they like. Needless to say, PS-Games was supporting our TO all along.
So you know it better that PUI does?And this is a problem that is going to be fixed, cause the nest tournament held in groningen will be according all the nintendo rules. With one exception: the ability to evolve first turn using trainers powers or attacks, because many fear that the unlimited format will be ruined by it. I can understand this point of view, though I wouldn't have mind either way, allowing or not allowing first turn evolutions. Furthermore, Slowking is banned, and I think that PUI should have done this a long time ago, but I guess they're not really interested in giving attention to the unlimited format.
Didn't I???has as far as I know never really tried to talk and discuss with our TO about how things are done here...and never adressed the problem before CC.
Rainbowgym said:Not really, only as somebody who doesn't know were he is talking about, And when you speak you only spreading rumors.
Rainbowgym said:This is new for me not welcome anymore? another rumor meaby?? And yes there was a loud discussion, because that certain TO didn't allow our players to play with Target Promo Torchic. And because that is a complete LEGAL card to play, he was wrong and we told him to look into the floorrules which cards are allowed in Modified, but he started yelling at me and saying that he was in charge and that if he banned cards he could. REMEMBER this was an official CITY CHAMPIONSHIP.
My Dear TON
1. CC's are open for ALL PLAYERS and not only the ones living in Groningen. And with only 4 CC's in the whole country, you could expect players from outside. We travel always to play LEGAL tournaments.
I always thought that you suggested cancelling of the tournament, because of what you were posting at the local messageboard. If this isn't so, then what I said about that is not true, like I have said many times, if I might be wrong at something, I'll be the first to admit such a thing. But the thought that you recommended cancelling, originated from posts you made, for me they suggested that you did that. But again if this isn't so, it isn't so.2. While PSG supported the fact that players from outside were not welcome, we only mailed PUI about this situation. That the CC was cancelled was never even suggested by us. It was the soul and only decision of PUI, not ours. But again you are spreading rumors and trieing to put me in a bad daylight.
This is something I discovered quite recently. Even though I will continue to see the TO in Groningen as the TO of tournaments in Groningen, because he organizes it, not the person shown as the TO.3. You TO is not an official TO. His tournaments are sancionted by PSG and not by him so in a straight way he even doesn't exist in the records.
Well, believe what you want to believe, but PUI did come back on their decision and send an excuse to our TO. They ARE letting the distributor do as the distributor pleases, which is nowhere near a pleasant situation, but unfortunately, as far as I know it is THE situation right now.4. I don't believe PUI came back on their decision to cancel that CC, no way. And you know why I don't believe this, because if they let PSG ignore the floorrules/tournament rules why should anybody in the World feel the need to follow them.
I am entitled to have my own opinion, and that I may express it in a professional way. All I am saying is, that in my opinion, the unlimited format would be better off without Slowking and the first-turn evolutions. Any further discussion about that will be between me and POP.So you know it better that PUI does? You can play it that way, but don't sanction it, that's all we are saying.
As far as I know, there haven't been any e-mails except from the CC on. But I'll ask the TO here on it, if there have been serious attempts for discussion, this argument will be withdrawn.Didn't I???
Or are you again putting up a rumor.
I have some emails from long before send by myself, but also DDM tried to discuss with your TO about unlimited/modified etc.
The only fact you are giving is that you agree/play in sanctioned tournaments who are NOT according the floorrules. You call that a minor issue and meaby it is, but as player you need to read this in the spirit of the game.
Observe the rules – No good Pokémon player would ever deliberately break the rules
And what are you doing, you break the rules and even admit it.
And you are the one who made the Professor test and passed??
You are the one who is going to play another NOT ACCORDING TO THE FLOORRULES tournament, because you are not willing to prevent your TO form sanctioning?
That's what I call the real Spirit of the Game.
What has the shop owner to do with it?And it's a FACT that the shop owner doesn't want you anymore, So no rumour.
Sanctioned tournaments are open for ALL PLAYERS, how many time do I have to repeat this.Sigh. How many times doe I have to say it wasn't a restriction for players outside of the province of Groningen, but for players who had otherwise no interest in our tournaments?
Well start to read/understand what I was writing, before spreading rumors. We told you we didn't wanted that CC to be cancelled and you were not listening.I always thought that you suggested cancelling of the tournament, because of what you were posting at the local messageboard.
No they are not in the way you mean, PSG and all involved still have to follow the floorrules/tournament rules.They ARE letting the distributor do as the distributor pleases
There are more things you don't know about (such as your TO not being the official TO)and this is one of them. If needed I can provide you an email send on januari 4th which is long before the CC was even planned. By sanctioning the tournaments of Groningen under the name of PSG they can say, Look how good we are doing, we did a few tournaments last year. And you know they weren't the ones who organized the whole thing. You know that someone else did. Meaby your "TO" doesn't care if anyone get the credit for the work he did, but we do care.As far as I know, there haven't been any e-mails except from the CC on
Nobody tells you to quit.What would be better, withdrawing from the tournaments, which would mean quitting pokemon because there wouldn't be another reasonable option to play anywhere, OR trying to solve things? It seems as if you're forcing me to quit, just as you seem fixated on looking what's wrong and all, but never searching for a solution, and not recognizing people who are trying to solve things. I am being rational, and know that quitting pokemon WON'T HELP A THING about the whole situation. Being there at tournaments, helping and discussing things does a lot more. And there are a lot of other things that I have set in motion, in a positive way. And maybe you'll get interested in that, cause I'll try to make sure that that is according to floor rules, and more details I cannot give.
