More consistent judging.
At Oklahoma states, my opponent didnt set out prizes, and played a few hands before we realized. called a judge, and i didnt even get to draw a prize penalty.
At Arkansas states, I played a game where i forgot to set out prize cards. Its realized after my first hand, and my opponent draws a free prize. I then win the game, and go outside to smoke, where my opponent finds me and says the judge is looking for me. The judge says that when I played skyla my first turn for a laser that I broke the game state and had lost. I was PISSED at this as he overturned his previous ruling with more malice ruling. especially since the week before my opponent did the same thing and i didnt even get a prize card.
At Kansas states, I top cut, and in my 2nd game, time is called, with me having lost the first one. I have no idea of the rule that says I have to draw more than 50% of my prizes in game 2 to force game 3. (I have only been playing since jan.) Apparently, the judge had no idea either. He looked me right in my eyes and said "This is turn 0, at the end of turn 3, whoever has drawn the most prizes wins. My opponent is playing KK with zero energy on the field, so i pass. As soon as i do, my opponent says, "Thats not right" calls over the head judge, and we are informed of the correct ruling. Once again I was PISSED, as I now have no chance to win, bc the judge told me the wrong rules.
I really think that they need a big sheet of laminated paper with all the rules on it at every sanctioned event. That way, things like my fiasco at kansas could have been avoided.
