I'm new to this game but I love pokemon.

Can this be a theme deck duel as I don't have too many cards.

While you can use a theme deck in this tournament, I am not going to make other players only use theme decks.

It's very likely our November/December tournament will either be theme-deck only or have both an open format and a theme deck only format, though.

Tentively in, might drop if I find out my computer is more out of commission than I expected. Oh, and assuming I can't find a 4-4-4 Yanmega BREAK (or Yanmega Prime) by the tour, expect Eels. Lots of Eels. And some fish. And a dragon. And possibly a sheep. But mostly Eels. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Did I just give away my entire deck? Probably.

[Reject217]

As I am unfamiliar with Challonge, I must ask: do we need to sign up for an account? Or is that unnecessary?

It's unnecessary to sign up for it as I'm just using it to generate the list of matchups.

Good luck to all of us!

Also, I take it it's up to us to determine our fight time? Onto another thought, should we record the gameplay for verification of wins/losses?

It's completely up to you and your opponent to establish when you play each other. The only stipulation is that they be played by the time stated in the first post.

You also don't have to record the gameplay. You can if you want to, though.

And if you do and give it to me I may write about it for the Daily :p. Don't worry, I won't look until I have played vs you. Don't want to spoil the surprise, do I?

I and half of New England are at an amusement park today, so I'll message people when I get home. SCHEDULE BY VMs. It makes Don's life easier, believe me.

Lastly, good luck everyone! (And if you have a spare Yanmega BREAK I'll gladly take it off your hands)

EDIT: Oh, this was the TCG section's 4999th post, good job us. Also messaged everyone!
