Why participate in our weekly Pokemon events?
Whether you're a long time fan or just beginning your journey into all the world of Pokemon has to offer, participating in local organized play is great for many reasons! You're able to connect with a larger community of players, learn and improve your skills, earn exclusive prizes, and have a pathway to more competitive events and tournaments. On top of that we also offer our weekly players priority in participating in our Pre-Release events.
Pokemon Casual League | Sundays - 12:00 PM
- What's it all about? -
This is a great entry point for new players. It's free to participate, and you're able to meet other players in your local community, play casual battles, trade cards, and learn more about the game! This event is open to all Pokemon TCG, video game, and Pokemon Go players regardless of experience level or skill. This is 100% casual play, which means we don't tell anyone who to play or when. We also don't track wins and losses. We start at noon but you're able to show up anytime after that and leave whenever you feel like it!
- What is required to participate? -
You'll need a 60-card constructed deck if you want to participate in casual battles. Don't have a deck? We have pre-constructed decks for sale here at the store!
If you just want to come see what it's about all you'll need is a Player ID which you can acquire here.
- Deck Building & Format -
We don't adhere to any specific deck-building formats, so any 60-card deck works just fine.
Learn how to build a deck from scratch here.
Not comfortable with the game enough to play casual games yet? Use the email linked below to request a learn to play session with us and we will reach out and find a time that works. More about learn to play sessions below.
Pokemon Standard Tournament | Fridays - 6:00 PM
What's it all about? -
This is a casual Pokemon tournament using the current standard format. Entry is $10.00 per person. We welcome players of all skill levels and ages to participate. Players will be divided into their age divisions and play best-of-one, 30-minute, swiss-style rounds depending on attendance. This means players are never eliminated and will play against other players who are doing approximately as well as they are in the tournament.
- What is required to participate? -
You'll need a 60-card standard constructed deck if you want to participate in these tournaments. Don't have a deck? We have pre-constructed decks for sale here at the store!
You'll also need a Player ID, which can be acquired here.
- Tournament Prizing -
We offer a pack per win structure.
Undefeated players will earn an additional pack.
Participants who did not win any rounds will also receive a pack.
