Hi gang. Not much new this week, but don't forget that Super Battle Zone is happening this weekend at selected locations around the country.
Enjoy,

BATTLE ZONE / SUPER BATTLE ZONE (Feb. 15):
master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with
question #991 from bigchuck001:
Is the SBZ tourney going to be everyone playing,
or will there be separate tournaments for 14- and 15+?
master_trainer_mike says, "I only asked the
locations to run 1 single age modified tournament.
A few locations are splitting them, but most are
not."
master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with
question #948 from wizo_pokemom:
are decklists going to be required for SBZ, since
it's a 24K event? the SD location says there weren't any in their SBZ kit...
master_trainer_mike says, "They are not required by us but each location can choose to use them or not. I hear that many are."
master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with
question #979 from gym_leader_blaine:
as SBZ we are going to do deck checks to make sure
the Kids are playing Modified cards, but will we have to have Deck Check List
for the top 8 players filled out and sent to Wizards?
master_trainer_mike says, "I would do deck checks if you can (depending on your staff issues). You should always do them before you start the top 8. You never want to have to DQ someone for an illegal deck during the final rounds, better to deal with that before hand"
master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with
question #996 from gym_leader_blaine:
my question is then, are the Deck Check list from
SBZ need to be turned into WOTC?
master_trainer_mike says, "They are not required
though sending along the winning deck lists (if you have them) would be
great!"
master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with
question #974 from marril2000:
hey mike, back a couple weeks (or maybe even last
week) you said in the Suber BattleZone kits you included a thank you gift for
the professors that staff Super BattleZone, any word on what the thank you
gift is? ;)
master_trainer_mike says, "There are extra boxes of Aquapolis product to be given out amongst the staff"
master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with
question #983 from gym_leader_blaine:
just wanted to say thanks for letting us have and
run SBZ, it is going to be a blast this weekend
master_trainer_mike says, "Glad you like it. If it
goes well and the numbers are good, you will see it again in May."
master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with
question #1005 from gym_leader_blaine:
so if this goes right, you said we could see this
in May again, which would be about the time we seen the new Skyirige set. SO
are the SZB like a pre-release, cause if so that is great that we are finally
getting something like them
master_trainer_mike says, "Maybe :)"
master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with
question #976 from marril2000:
mike, the store i run BattleZone at recently
decided to extend the program (it was supposed to end last weekend) as long as
i would like and players come so i can build a local player base, but they
said they wouldn't order any more BattleZone kits be
master_trainer_mike says, "Ummm, without kits there is no BattleZone. The kits are very inexpensive, talk with them about getting the money from the players to purchase them; but it has to be through the store"
PROMO CARDS:
master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with
question #987 from mob2099:
any spoiler on the next season promo?
master_trainer_mike says, "Nope"
master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with
question #1018 from gym_leader_blaine:
do you think we will be able to get the reverse
holo energies again like you did with the Rainbow energies in BZ Jan kits?
master_trainer_mike says, "They were being saved for the Pokemon Player Rewards program but if that doesn't end up happening then I will rerelease them in another way ."
master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with
question #1022 from gym_leader_blaine:
so the Player Rewards program is still a go them.
Do you think it will be out later this year?
master_trainer_mike says, "It might be out, unsure
right now."
master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with
question #1025 from marril2000:
hmm... just wondering since the Pokemon Player
Rewards program idea was brought up again... when the program was sketched
out, would it include membership cards? how would we exactly keep track of our
points?
master_trainer_mike says, "No details until the program starts."
