Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

States/Province/Territory Championships FAQs Released

I'd actually like it if they switched the Bye to second place's prizes though. Seeing as you don't even get a whole box that you can sell, 2nd place is pretty pointless =\

Having the bye would at least get you something useful for coming so close to winning.

Ugh second place is sooo bad, I hate getting it. You're right.
 
@Mystery: That's a valid point, but I would argue that most players who are top cutting an event like States have no use for extra cards.

Thanks for the FAQ. The bye is a great idea.
 
Actually, these non-random byes are even better. An earned bye gives you "perfect tiebreakers." This means you get tiebreakers as if the fake opponent you beat in round 1 wins all their rounds...including the one you beat them in. TOM is being updated to handle earned byes in this fashion.

Is that how it counts on raitings then? I really like the idea.

Fair enough, but it just rubs me the wrong way when the first thing that people think when they see the list of prizes is how much they can sell off parts of it for.
 
I pretty much just like that if i win, i got to nationals for free. BTW, your looking at georgia's future (in two weeks) state champion.:cool:
 
Spokane is just barely getting on the map for Washington state, and ya know... Spokane is finally going to take it! I'm not looking for anything from this set, but my girlfriend's birthday is coming up... :D
I'm prepared this year to counter the meta :D
 
Michigan Event this weekend

We'll be making the drive and can't wait. This is our first State Championships. We're finalizing the deck now :)
