Conquest Tournament - Gym Leader Challenge

Our first Conquest event will be held at the Crown and Anchor on Sunday 27th August. As part of this event we will be running a special Gym Leader Challenge (GLC) Tournament.

"GLC is a singleton Pokémon Trading Card Game format that is ripe with possibilities and strategies to explore. The rules of Gym Leader Challenge are simple:

• Only one of each card with the same name per deck (except Basic Energy)
• No Rule Box cards or ACE SPEC cards
• Only one type (color) of Pokémon per deck (colourless is a colour choice by itself)
• Cards printed from Black & White–on
• No cards on the Ban List

However, mastering the format is no easy task. In GLC, resources are limited, which makes deck building and skillful in-game decisions critical to victory. Gym Leader Challenge is a rewarding gameplay experience that will have you wanting to refine your deck and battle again and again!

Unlike Standard Format, the largest barrier to entry for Gym Leader Challenge isn’t the cost of the deck. In fact, most Gym Leader Challenge decks can be obtained for less money than an Elite Trainer Box! (No, seriously). The biggest barrier to entry for GLC is card knowledge. The legal card pool for GLC includes all cards from 2011’s Black and White through the most recent Pokémon TCG expansions! That’s thousands of cards to consider! "

This tournament will run from 5pm and will last around 3 hours. The matches will be the best of three games played to a 50 minute time limit. The event is expected to last 3 rounds (depending on attendance numbers). Each player will need to bring two legal 60 card GLC decks with them and they will be able to pick which deck to use for every single game but may only be able to use the same deck twice in a single match and a maximum of 5 times in the tournament as a whole (more if an additional round is added due to numbers). The entry to this event will be £5 and every player will get a Pokemon Series 3 Prize Pack just for playing. The winner will get the remaining League Cup Playmat as well. (we didn't have any seniors at our last event, so the prize was held over to this event).

All players that enter this event will be able to attend the rest of the 'Conquest' day at no additional cost.
