My sour grapes do not lie with ME not going to worlds,they lie with SKILLED players missing worlds, while lucky/undeserving players/players who think they are good but really aren't, going in their place.
It's a shame really. I'm trying to teach my gf to play, and she could really do with a few in-game reminders-->
"draw a card"
"think about which supporter to play"
"don't forget to use your poke-powers"
"andy is the greatest" etc etc
Seriously though, it would really help her learn the game :frown:
Just my 1 penny!
Remembering how to play your deck is just as important as learning how to play it in the first place.
I support the decision that these aren't allowed.
But could you still write them on the card?
You know, I was tempted, on every basic for one of my players going to Worlds to write PUT OUT PRIZES on the picture, so he would not forget.
Not on every card, just on his basics.
Would not obsucure the text, but would definitely remind him.
Would this be allowed?
There we go, now a judge asking a question.

im thnking about doing that SAME THING........but im gonna put that on ALL of my energies, AND on the inside of my deck box so when i pul out my deck i pull that out too...........i dont THINK there is a rule stopping this, and if it is,
well.........:nonono:
I can just see the embarrassment at Worlds.
"Your elite players speak 4 languages? How nice. Our elite players need notes telling them what they can do each turn."
Haha, too solid of a point, but stay open-minded and think about what GOOD can be done with notes. In addition to everything else mentioned, I always thought it'd be nice if I could speed up my first turn of the game (ie checking to see what is/isn't prized). A wristband would be enormously useful with the listing of single copies, so long as the opponent couldn't see it.
