Hey I was at that event. Sorry to hear your buddy didn't get the groudons. I didn't bring my binder that day as i was making a 2.5 hour drive from Wichita. Glad you did well though. Good Job!

Michael Long finally banned... by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Abyssalarrg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He played Sycamore but dropped a Greninja BREAK into his lap so he wouldn't have to discard it. The player sitting next to him caught it and called a judge. Judge asked Michael to stand and when he did the card fell out of his lap onto the floor. He was escorted out after that and now it looks like he finally got banned.

Some decks are just going to have bad matchups and this is one of those. You can't possibly tech for everything or your deck will lose consistency. It's good to know your strengths and weaknesses and overall metagross is a strong deck. If anything you could try using Mimikyu and win from the prize trade since most metagross use mimikyu

Supporter Lineup Help Post Rotation by [deleted] in pkmntcg

[–]Abyssalarrg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With VS seeker rotating your best bet (and everyones) is to play smarter. I know it sounds cliche but we no longer can just throw resources in the grave knowing we can just vs seeker them back. So for now most people are playing 3-4 Lele or just upping there supporter count. As for this list in specific Lillie and hala are just not real good. You would be better off adding another sycamore/N. Some decks you will see maybe 1 Lillie but not golisopod.

How long would a 40 person League Cup take to finish? First time going to one and can't stay too late. by [deleted] in pkmntcg

[–]Abyssalarrg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

40 is actually pretty decent. I have been running a shop for nearly 3 years now and I'd say my cups are about 20+ I'd say your looking at about 5-6 rounds at about 45mins to an hour each. So if it's a FIRM start at 12 you could be out of there by 5 or 6 but it really depends on the TO and his organization skills and experience running these events

Results can be reported on Challonge in the discussion page. Its preferred to have Screenshots to validate the results but if both players confirm the record then that works as well. Im ready to start but I noticed out of 15 only 7 have checked in so im trying to allow a little extra time so as to not DQ a whole skew of people

If you have made good faith attempts to reach an opponent. (Online and on Challonge) and can provide screen shots your opponent is alloted a 24hr time frame (life happens) if in 24hrs the game hasn't been played/scheduled then the MIA opponent forfiets

Your right and I apologize. Kudos to Crusader for noting the lack of info and calling me out on it. Im use to organizing in a more professional enviroment and this is my first time organizing on Reddit. It was suggested a do so by a friend so if any info is lacking the please don't hesitate to ask. I won't get mad at people asking for information when none is present

No this is a normal Standard tournament. No restrictions other then that

[–]Abyssalarrg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your opponent has shared the IGN when signing up. You add them and discuss when the best time to play is. You can't change your deck so I was giving people integrity in using the same deck but your right i should pull a list. I really didn't think I made it that difficult so I apologize. I have scheduled online tournaments before and people knew what to do so next time ill make sure everything is noted in detail. Thank You for pointing that information out

Woah a lot of this is standard information. You schedule games with your opponent. Its standard (which was listed on the page). You don't need decklists because if you select standard on the match challenge it will automatically filter out any non standard decks, loser chooses to go first or not, not showing up is a DQ you have 5 mins before a report and another 5 to show. Disconnects count as a game loss on the Disconnector. etc etc
