HI Pokefans!

Pokemon League is ON this Sat, 6/20 starting at 2 pm. We are about 2 weeks away from Nationals, so come on by and do some playtesting!

Create fun decks and try them out at League! Trade with friends and other collectors. We are starting Fortree Gym season, so keep playing games and earning marks in your scorecards! I don't have the new scorecards yet, but keep filling out the ones you have. And yes, tournament games will count! Looks to be another good weekend for Pokemon fun. I'll have some door prizes and give-aways for kids.

I'll be arranging small 8-person tournaments throughout League. We'll start a new tournament every time we get 8 signups. Details at League.

And for those of you who are beginners, especially Juniors, I'll also be setting up smaller 4-person tournaments so you can get experience playing. These will be free and will be unlimited format (since I know kids only have a few cards from all kinds of sets). I'll see what kind of prizes I can dig up for the beginners.

We also started a new library-like loaning system. We have decks, dice, energies and playmats that you can borrow during League. Sign them out on the sign-out sheet and you can use during League. Just remember to return them before you leave! :-)

I'm also working on a group outing to Wolf Trap for the Pokemon Symphonic Evolutions on July 18. If we can get 10 or more people we can get discounted tickets. I'll have a sign-up sheet at League. Deposit of $10 is needed to make a commitment. Check out details here.

The next pre-release will be held at the Fantastic Store on Sun, 8/9. I'll have details on the League site shortly. But details and pre-reg for Nats is up! So check the page for info and links to the pre-reg site.

And here are a few of my favorite full arts/secret rares for the upcoming Ancient Origins set...

And here is the new Pokemon card that looks to be the start of a great new OP deck (Item lock is here to stay!) ...

See you @ League!
