Why are we not allowed to use I pods/ Zunes /other form of music players in Pokemon tournament games? I was watching a NLHE cash game on TV, that had 300/600 blinds with a 100 ante, and 3 of the 6 players had music devices. In a game like that where you are risking over $200,000 and you are allowed to use musical devices, why are you not allowed to use them in Pokemon tournaments where there is not buy-in and with the exception of the 5 big events that players are allowed to go to (2 states, regionals, nationals, and worlds) there is no cash value on first place. And in those big events only a small portion of the field is able to actually receive the cash (scholarship really, so not actually cash) prizes. In Battle Roads and City Championships the most you can win is $6ish - $40ish dollars worth of packs, that unless you sell them have no immediate monetary value, (also when you do sell them you are competing with stores, so you will often get less than the prices previously mentioned) however in poker games there is often large amounts of money at risk. It just seems weird that if the game that has the most money involved allows more freedom when it comes to this issue than the game that has no buy-in.
