Why is a decklist required?

Decks will be required upon Check-in. Decklists are closed for this tournament with the decklist moniker displayed by the player's username. This is to acquire data for the format as a whole and to account for malicious intent. Players are not allowed to change their decks upon tournament start, and any foul play will result in disqualification from the tournament and prizing.

What is the prizing?

CASH! Prizing will be distributed through PayPal or Venmo.

First Place - $50 USD (+$20)*

Second Place - $30 USD (+$15)*

Third & Fourth Place - $20 USD (+$10)*

Fifth-Eighth - $10 USD (+$5)*

Is there a player cap?

There is a max participation of 64. *If 45 players enter the tournament, the prize pool will be increased by $75 and it will be distributed across the top 8. There will be a waitlist if the tournament registration exceeds 64, and the max participants number may be changed to accommodate at the organizer's discretion.

May I spectate games?

Spectation is allowed. TCGOne has a button to disable spectation, but it only works for Patreon members. Patreon members WILL NOT be allowed to disable spectation. We wish to be fair to players who would rather keep certain cards a secret in their deck, but we are playing by honor system. Players are encouraged to report any malicious play or cheating they may encounter. Note! You are expected to maintain professionalism and follow the Pokemon TCG Guidelines for Player Conduct.

What format will we be using?

Your games will be played on the PTCG Simulator TCGOne: https://play.tcgone.net/

Note! TCGOne has been known for bugs within the system. While no major cards have any known bugs currently, it is important to address a bug when present, but your match will still be played normally. Minor Bugs are cards that are not programmed correctly.
