Pokémon Organized Play Tournament Rules
Revised: September 1, 2010
http://www.pokemon.com/us/assets/cms/pdf/op/tournaments/2011/Pokemon_Tournament_Rules.pdf
Here are just some key changes:
Removed any references to allowable foreign cards in decks.
Only English and French Cards are allowed.
Section 5.2 Clarified ways spectators may create penalties for players they are with.
Section 7. Notes may now be private.
Players are allowed to take notes during a game in respect to actions that have happened during the game. Players may take notes during a match and refer to those notes. Players may choose not to share these notes with other players, but a judge may ask to see a player’s notes and request an explanation if needed. A player’s note sheet must be blank at the start of each match.
Players must be timely with their note taking and may not use devices that may send or receive messages as a note-taking device. A player may not refer to notes taken during previous rounds while the tournament is still in progress. Notes taken during a match may not be given to other players during the course of the tournament.
Because a judge may ask to see a player’s notes while a match is in progress, the use of codes, ciphers, abbreviations, or any other method of obscuring the meaning of the information is not permitted. Additionally, notes taken by a player may not contain misinformation, intended to deceive tournament staff.
Section 14. Updated age divisions for the 2010–2011 tournament season.
Junior Division: Born in 2000 or later
Senior Division: Born in 1996, 1997, 1998, or 1999
Masters Division: Born in 1995 or earlier
Section 21.3. Updated match time limits.
Single-game matches should be a minimum of 30 minutes plus 3 turns for Constructed tournaments or 20 minutes plus 3 turns for Limited tournaments.
Best-of-three matches should have a minimum time limit of 45–60 minutes plus 3 turns, with no maximum time limit. The specific time limit for each round’s matches should be announced by the Tournament Organizer at the outset of the tournament.
Section 22. Updated match resolution using 30+3 format.
If time is called during a player’s turn, he or she completes the current turn. In-between turn effects resolve, and the next turn is considered turn 1 of 3 to be played after time expires. If the third turn is completed and there is a clear winner, the game is over and no in-between turn effects are resolved.
If time is called between turns, all in-between turn effects resolve and the new turn is considered turn 0 of 3 to be played after time expires. If the third turn is completed and there is a clear winner, the game is over and no in-between turn effects are resolved.
For best-of-three play, each game is considered to have started once the starting player has been determined. If time is called during set-up, use the rules in Section 22.3 to determine the appropriate course of action.
