Well, they had a theory and they wanted to test it. I dunno whether they can extract any information from the test with all the other variables thrown in. But hey, it's their baby. Anyway - most everyone I know IS offering side events and PUI has encouraged that all along. Would have been nice for some prize support for that though...Scizor said:Yeah no kidding this wasn't the smartest move by Nintendo IMO, they should have done a whole lot more advertising. There are A LOT that play the Gameboy for sure, i mean my local Wal-Mart sells them like crazy around here. The way they organized this just is not going to work and they should have had a side event for TCG only.
You ever see baby birds when momma lands on the nest? What a racket as each clamors for attention NOW. Think about this: the structure that they set up for OP will be with us for some time. Decisions need to be made and they need to be considered and balanced to make the best fit for the players - present and future. A lot of money and time will be expended and the result had better be something that will stand on it's own and create new revenue for the brand or the OP program will be doomed. So give the hard-working folks at PUI a little credit and some patience. I personally don't want to see an OP program setup by someone who perceives it as a thankless job. And all of the griping will make the job exactly that.Scizor said:Everyone is eager to get the TCG rolling though, we all want our Format, information, advertising, and we are sure having to wait IMO an ureasonable amount of time. October is too late to announce the format and tournament schedule, they need to start something now. Some kind of tournament structure. They have had all this time.
