Ok so I was just wondering if I was allowed to use a notebook during my matches to right down important things that happen throughout the match like azelf or when someone uses claydol etc...
and you can't show it to others at the event. It is supposed to be kept private
Oops, i think i did a misunderstanding, i have understood the notebook was a laptop ^^
It depends. You need the official translations from the POP website, and if I'm not mistaken you must download and print the entire document.
PokePop said:Yes, you need a legal reference.
No, a printout of a picture is not a legal reference.
You must have either a english card outside your deck to use as a reference, or the appropriate page from the Card-Dex, found here: http://www.go-pokemon.com/op/tournaments/rulesandresources.html
Note that it must be the entire page.
Not a copy paste onto part of a page or rewritten or anything else.
^ Misworded, I meant page, as in not a fragment of the page with just the specific Pokemon on it.
That's the official word on it. I can't remember ever using a Japanese card at a Premiere Event so I'm not up to date on any further details.
Weird. I was told in the Grinder that they weren't because a guy next to me had them and the judge told him to find something else.
The Compendium said:Q. Since notes must be confined to game state, what actually consitutes "game state"?
A. Any notes you take during a tournament must be confined to changes in the game state and taking those notes must not slow down the game. Game State includes things such as number of Prizes remaining, number of cards in hand, whether or not a Supporter has been played, whether or not a Power has been used, how many of a specific card an opponent has in his/her discard pile (this does not include listing the entire contents of the discard, just a simple "2x Rare Candy"), etc. Game State does NOT include which cards are in your hand, which cards are in your opponent's hand, which cards are in your Prizes, which cards aren't in your deck because they are in your Prizes, how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop, etc. (Dec 18, 2008 PUI Rules Team)
