Hello all. Slow chat this week with everyone getting ready for the West
Stadium Challenge in San Diego this Saturday (I'll be there, look me up). But we did find out that the main tournaments for ages 14 and under at
Worlds are going to be Match Play; best 2 out of 3 wins, with one hour to play all three matches. That's all for the big news, read on for the rest.
Enjoy,

CHALLENGE SERIES / WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS:
darkmt_mike says, "Some news for Worlds all play in the 11-14 and 10-tournament will be Match play. Best 2 of 3. You will have one hour to
play all your matches."
darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #4 from lance313:
We still don't have Prof. tourney details, however. Do you have any?
darkmt_mike says, "Nope. The idea is not to let you know what you will
draft. Details wait on the size of the two other tournaments."
master_trainer_pat says, "We're all pretty excited about what kind of
formats to try out with LC(+ other sets in combination)"
darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #20 from skywolf9653:
Is the "Professor Only" event going to be held during Origins or Worlds? I
can never seem to remember.
darkmt_mike says, "Both are only for Prof's except Worlds will have
Wizards/TC staff."
darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #30 from bigchuck001:
How many people are you expecting to be at worlds? BTW, I'll be there =P.
darkmt_mike says, "Not sure. It will be a lot of fun though. We have many
plans!"
master_trainer_pat says, "We do expect a good showing...this will be the
premiere Pokemon event this year."
master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #33 from prof_kris:
I plan on going to Worlds in August...how's the weather during that time in
Seattle?
darkmt_mike says, "Nice!"
darkmt_mike says, "Usually nice"
master_trainer_pat says, "It's really just about the best time to be here.
It's usually nice, but not too hot."
CARD-E:
darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #15 from lord_schweizer:
Do you know when the condition "burn" will be released?
darkmt_mike says, "Ecard."
POKEMON LEAGUE:
darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #5 from skywolf9653:
DMTM, what is your opinion of the League situation nationwide, and what are
some ideas to help with league attendance?
darkmt_mike says, "Well I'm not the authority. I do know we need more
locations. We get a lot of calls asking where people can find it!"
master_trainer_pat says, "It's not the League attendance that worries me,
it's qualified stores to run them and that _want_ to run them"
darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #28 from marril2000:
so... any suggestions on how to convince a store that stopped the league
(ordering the kits that you and someone else paid for) to run it again?
darkmt_mike says, "Tell them it is good for business. Gets people into the
store!"
PROMO CARDS (the tormenting of the ever-persistent "soslowpoke"):
darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #44 from soslowpoke:
What's Promo #48?
darkmt_mike says, "Not out yet!"
master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #48 from soslowpoke:
Could Promo 48 be that darn Shellder?
master_trainer_pat says, "Never heard of that one before."
darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #50 from soslowpoke:
or could 48 be.....Omastar?
darkmt_mike says, "It could...but it isn't."
master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #54 from soslowpoke:
hmm could promo 48 be base blastoise with new art? That would be quite
nice...
master_trainer_pat says, "mmmm....no."
master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #55 from soslowpoke:
Is promo 48 Golduck?
darkmt_mike says, "Nope!"
master_trainer_pat says, "Ok. I'll tell you."
master_trainer_pat says, "It's Chocobo."
darkmt_mike says, "No PaT!"
darkmt_mike says, "Ah! To late!"
darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #56 from soslowpoke:
Is promo 48 Unown R?
master_trainer_pat says, "It's Unown Umlaut."
darkmt_mike says, "The Pokémon formerly known as "Unown R"."
darkmt_mike says, "He changed his name to a symbol...ironic isn't it?"
darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #58 from soslowpoke:
So Promo 48 is Unown R?
darkmt_mike says, "It is? Where did you hear that?"
darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #59 from soslowpoke:
or is Promo 48 Kingler?
darkmt_mike says, "Er...I can't say."
darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #61 from soslowpoke:
Hmm you could tell me it isn't Golduck, and it isn't Blastoise, yet you
can't tell me that it isn't Kingler...
darkmt_mike says, "I didn't say it was either. I just didn't say."
darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #63 from soslowpoke:
well I'll be at the Sandiego stadium on Saturday....could you tell me what
Promo 48 is then?
master_trainer_pat says, "Nope"
darkmt_mike says, "Probably not. But we will see you there!"
