Need Cards?: Another reason why you should come to Gamer's Lair on November 15th is that Rob, the Common's Collector, will be coming!!!

What are Pokémon TCG City Championship Tournaments?
The Pokémon TCG City Championships are title events operated by independent Tournament Organizers, where players in each of the three POP-recognized age divisions can earn the title of City Champion! Results of the City Championships count toward your Premier Rating!

Stay tuned for details regarding City Championship events outside of North America.

When are the Pokémon TCG City Championships?
Pokémon TCG City Championships will be taking place between November 28th, 2008, and January 11th, 2009. Stay tuned for time and location information.

Remember, while we frequently update our events schedule, we recommend that you contact the local Tournament Organizer to confirm event schedule information.

How much does the event cost?
All Pokémon Organized Play Premier events in North America are FREE! That’s right—there is no admission fee for a City Championship!


Organizers may charge for side events run at these tournaments.


What is the tournament structure?
The tournament is run using the Modified Constructed Format and Age Modified Swiss pairings.

See the Pokémon Tournament Rules for information about the Modified Format and Swiss. The number of Swiss rounds run will depend on total attendance at the event. After the Swiss rounds end, there will be a cut to Single Elimination Finals. A maximum of 8 players will advance to the Single Elimination Finals.
Please make sure you’re ready with a legal deck by reviewing the legal sets for the Modified Format here.

The City Championships series will have a K-Value of 16. For more information on how the K-Value affects your Premier Rating, please see the Ratings and Rankings FAQ.

What are the prizes?
Prizes are awarded to the top 4 players in each age division.

Our age groups are:

Junior Division: Born 1998 or later

Senior Division: Born in 1994, 1995, 1996, or 1997

Masters Division: Born in 1993 or earlier

Participants will receive an exclusive City Championships promo card and a commemorative pin, while supplies last..

Top 4 finishers in each of the three age categories receive the following prizes:

1st Place
18 Pokémon TCG booster packs
A City Champion medal

2nd Place
10 Pokémon TCG booster packs

3rd & 4th Place
4 Pokémon TCG booster packs

What do I need to know?
Bring your POP ID card, if you have one. If you don’t have a POP ID, one will be given to you at the event.
You must bring a Modified legal deck to the tournament. See section 3 of the Pokémon Tournament Formats.
See Pokémon Tournament Rules for more information about what to bring to an event.
Make sure you arrive on time. If you are late for registration, you may not be able to play in the event.
To participate in the event, you must be a player in good standing and abide by the Tournament Rules.
Local residency is not required to enter a Pokémon TCG City, State, or Regional Championship event.
See the Legal Notice for certain eligibility requirements and other information, including information concerning limitations on Pokémon’s liability.

What happens after the tournament?
After the tournament ends, the Tournament Organizer will submit the tournament results to Pokémon USA, Inc. Pokémon, which sanctions the tournaments, will determine player rankings. Pokémon Organized Play reserves the right to remove the Premier Event status of any event that is not run in accordance with Premier Event policies.

Details subject to change. Last update: October 30, 2008

Interesting...I'm going to play my Mismagius deck or Regigigas deck for the Pre-City Championship. Sounds like fun!
 
3 of the 4 events we are running are up on the Utopia Gaming site. And if you search through the POP tournament locator, you can find all 4 of the events. I sent out an email to a number of my email contacts tonight with quite a bit of the info. Pm me if you haven't gotten a copy and would like one.

To clarify, the November 15th Pre-cities event will cost $10 per person, but there's a box of boosters available if there are 12 or more persons in the event. Less participation will get packs, but only in proportion to the actual participation. If we get a large event, with 27 or more players participating, all 3 age groups will earn a box worth of packs - regardless of the actual attendance of a particular age group.

December 20th - Orangeville
December 26th - (Boxing Day) Angus - Junior appreciation CC, side event as well.
January 10th - Barrie (at OMG! Games) - side event as well.

Hope that helps.
 
Time to update first post (with Garret's Information:p)

IDK, what I should play for Pre-City Championships??? I am hoping to rogue and have a blast.
 
Yep, believe it or not, that's the real name! LOL Catchy though isn't it? I doubt you'd forget it.
 
OK, so far so good, we have 4 Cities. Hamilton + the 3 in Barrie. But, is anyone else wondering where the rest of the tournaments organized by Marvin are? As far as I can see it pretty much in every area all of the City's are up. We are missing a huge swath of tournaments including Oshawa, Milton, Oakville, etc. After working hard to agree on scheduling let's hope we don't need to read to much into this.
 
I have a feeling that the delay in getting the info to the organizers had an impact on how many have been organized. Once the info was available, we noticed that there was less dates available to run these events - down to 7 weeks from 11 last year. Plus the fact that the deadline to order these was closer than we thought, perhaps some were caught unaware. Who knows? Maybe Marvin just wasn't able to get all his scheduling done. He has quite a few more venues to juggle than I do. Mind you, I was trying to organize these since Battle Roads. Plus you have to take into consideration that he does Magic events as well - where I concentrate fully on Pokemon. I'm sure he has some dates in mind, but it's just a matter of time until his events show up on the sites. I've tried to accomodate the players wishes for any opportunity to gain in the ratings by scheduling at odd dates. I hope allowing Marvin more or less a free reign on scheduling won't come back and bite me on the butt.

Zach - you did a great job bringing all the info into one place. That's really cool, and a good resource for Ontario players. Thanks. Here's some more info:

Garret emailing you a handout for the tournament next weekend so all the players get the info in a timely manner. We had about 20 at league yesterday so if that’s any indication this should be good! That did not include about 8 of the regulars that I am sure will show up on the 15th.
 
Troy & Garret: Thanks, the organised info helps me too:p

Garret: I will update with the Hamilton Tournament.

EDIT: Looks like you updated the post before me:lol:
 
Privilege of being a mod I guess! LOL. You can change the title to "4 CC Dates Are Up" if you like.
 
Has anyone bothered to call Marvin? (Terry / Paul / Garret?)

He has to at least know the rest of the dates for the Toronto locations. Garret, phone me about this please. I was going to suggest if he gives us the dates at least for Terry and Paul’s events we can put them up on the website and in the handout.

this is very strange!

Troy: Maybe we will only have a Pre-CC and 4 CC's??? My pre-mentioned guess is dumb but, Marvin may have some problems he needs to deal with that are more important than Pokemon??? I have no clue and am just guessing though. Oh, and Ted Krieg is the organizer for Hamilton.
 
I just got confirmation that apparently there's nothing to worry about. No information was passed to me other than there's nothing to worry about. I'd rather not guess about what that means, so I'm assuming we'll just have to wait and see.
 
Sweet, now I can play in more tournaments:thumb:

Back to back posts merged. The following information has been added:

There are now 8 CCs uploaded and they are all on different dates:thumb:
