You may use any older version of a card if it was reprinted in a current set if the card hasn’t changed significantly without a translation. Example Mysterious Fossil’s older version had 10 hit points and the new version has 50, the older version may no longer be played without the card dex page or an outside translation.

Tournament Structure

Players will be separated into three age divisions

Junior born 2000 or later
Senior born 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999
Masters born 1995 or earlier

All rounds will be played Swiss style with the modified deck that you brought. In the Swiss format, players are expected to keep playing each round, regardless if you win or lose. Players will have 40 minutes to complete each round, with each player putting out 6 Prize cards. Players who win a game receive one point; a player who loses a game receives zero points. If a tie occurs between prizes when time is called, you play until next prize is drawn. The numbers of rounds in the event depends on the attendance.

At most events there are top cuts, these matches are played best 2 out of 3 with a minimum of 1 hour time limit.
