Decklist
a few things have changed
from last year's events....the stadium challenges are
one day only events. there will also be fees
charged for these events...
fee schedule
admission to
main event--$10.00
this is the fee to play in
the main 14 and under tournament, not a fee for admission to
the actual stadium. there will also be side events, and
those have separate fees attached to them. you can read on
for a schedule of those.
while we're on the subject
of side events, side events at the stadiums will be limited
to card tournaments. there won't be any trivia contests,
create a card contests or other similar activities, as were
featured at the super trainer showdown series.
••• side
event info •••
to the best of my
knowledge, side events are open to all ages.
since the side
events--unlimited constructed tourneys, sealed deck, and
booster drafts proved to be so popular at the last wcsts,
they are back in all their glory for your playing
pleasure!

if you've never played in
any of these formats (sealed deck or booster draft, for
example) we strongly urge you to go and read the format
specific rules in the dci
floor rules
section. the judges and tournament operators will explain
the play rules to you before you start, but you will have a
much better understanding of what you can and cannot do if
you read over the rules. for instance, things like trading
cards with another player in a draft or sealed deck
competition--even if you are trading identical cards--is
considered cheating and you can be
disqualified. reading over the rules can help
prevent you making a mistake that can cost you the
tournament. it might seem like no big deal, but
cheating--intentional or not--lowers the tournament for
everyone.
pokemon professor
tournament
as was previously
announced in the wotc chats, the pokemon professor
tournament will be rochester draft format. (if you're
unfamiliar with rochester draft, you can read over the basic
rules here. also, don't forget to check out the zeo
wotc
chat reports
for the last few weeks. information on the tournaments and
on the professor program is broken down and sorted out for
you, so you can find the information you need quickly
without having to read through an entire chat.)
as of now, that's all the
details we have for the professor event. if you are 15+ and
haven't taken the test yet, head on over to the
professor
program faq
and see if that is something you would want to do.
the winner of this
tournament gets an invitation (airfare and accomodations) to
judge at the pokemon world championship held later this
year. all pokemon professors working at that event will be
able to attend an invite only tournament with the master
trainers.....so if you haven't given any thought to becoming
a pokemon professor you may want to do so.
