When was the fossil ruling changed from

When your hand has a lone fossil it is still optional to play it to
You must play the lone fossil in your hand?

Thanks all!
 
What i meant is the date because on our nationals (Mar. 30,2008) the fossil rule here was it's a mulligan so i need to know when the rule that you are forced to play a fossil start was made.
 
If the only thing in your opening hand that resembles a Pokemon is a Fossil, yeah, you have to start with it. I believe that was made as soon as MT or DP came out. I'm thinking DP.

The rule was changed sometime between Emerald and Holon Phantoms.

You might want to inform your judges. They seem to be a bit behind.

The DP change was that Fossils now count as prizes. They didn't before DP.

The fossil setup rule was already around when DP came out:

Q. If you have basic and fossil Pokémon in your hand at startup, can you choose to play only the fossils and not the basic?
A. Yes. You can play "just" the Fossil Trainer cards, if you have fossils and a basic. If your opening hand has Fossil Trainers only, but no Basic Pokémon cards, you must choose a Fossil Trainer to place active. (Oct 16, 2003 PUI Rules Team; Jul 27, 2006 PUI Rules Team)
