5th - 8th Place

• Combination of 18 booster packs from current Pokémon TCG expansions
9th - 16th Place

• Combination of 9 booster packs from current Pokémon TCG expansions

* This is a travel award to the Nationals of the country hosting that particular Regional. If a Canadian wins a US Regional, we need to pass the prize down to the highest placing US resident.

** This is also a bye to the Nationals of the country hosting the Regional. It cannot be passed down so if a US player wins or places second at a Canadian Regional, the bye just goes away. This does not stack with the byes won at SPTs. There is no way to get a three round bye.

Additionally, participants will receive a Pokémon TCG 2011 Regional Championship promo card, while supplies last, just for playing! Also, we will have some fun door prizes of other cool Pokémon merchandise.

Yeah... Kamz, you are going to want to specify that this is SoCal. California is cool enough to get 2 regionals... so it is actually a smaller event than states, more often than not. I'll be heading down to So-Cal as always. Say hello to me if you want to... I'll have my dragon hat and premier ball playmat as always. :D

Awesome! It's always fun having Zachary here. For some reason. :/

everyone traveling up, have a safe trip, and Ill see you guys Saturday morning, bright and early!
 
1-5 Drop from Regionals...
AGHAGHAGH
Sooo...
First game was an actual legit loss, second game I shoulda won but the guy flipped 2 heads on Fainting Spell to my Belted Rhyperior X and another non-Belted Rhyperior X, third game I get donked by 3 heads on triple kick, 4th game I get donked by 2 Crobat drops and earthquake from Garchomp C, 5th game I lose to another donk but I probably woulda lost that because it's gyarados, 6th game I won because my opponent's deck wasn't really good at all.
Oh well. Maybe next time. I think luck just didn't like me today.
 
2-4 with Salmence Deck
Not good: Got re-paired with my neighbor and he got extremely lucky. We flipped over our cards
My spiritomb against his Garchomp C..........I lost and i was ashamed.
