Pokemon TCG Events and Prize Schedules
GymLeaderPhil May 08, 2003
Even though Wizards of
the Coast lost the license to translate, produce, and market future
expansions of the Pokemon Trading Card Game, the executives at WotC
and the DCI decided to sanction some tournaments for the upcoming
Origins and GenCon conventions. At Origins more than 19000 foil cards,
more than 10900 boosters, 16 Professor Leather Jackets, 64 Professor
Polo shirts, and 'Lots of other stuff' for 8 players will be released
to the public. Then later at GenCon more than 20500 foil cards, more
than 20000 boosters, and 'Lots of other stuff' for 16 players will
also be released. This does not even include the 8 players Sealed and
Draft tournaments prizes (16 boosters and 8 foil per tournament)
The amazing thing is that all of this product is being released two
months after the release of the last WotC set, Skyridge. So Wizards is
not using this as an excuse to sell product, but rather to thank the
general Pokemon playing community for their support for the game.
Additionally other Fan Appreciation Tournaments will be sanctioned
around North America and Europe, with the San Diego ComicCon and a
London event planned. So if you cannot make the trip to the big
conventions, you will still be able to snag some cool prizes.
