FUN CONTEST: Guess the Damage Counters
Fun contest for everyone to have a chance to win a Talking Turtwig Plush!!! What you
do is try to guess the amount of Damage Counters in the jar. Closest person to the correct
# of Damage counters, without going over, in the jar wins the prize! In case of a tie, the
winner will be decided randomly by die roll between the tied contestants. Anyone can enter
this contest (meaning parents and siblings of players can enter) but each person only gets
one guess slip to cast their best guess. You must be present to win.
Pokemon Trading Figure Game (TFG) Demo
In place of the traditional side events this year we will be doing a TFG demo.
This will start sometime after swiss and during single elimination.
Each person that does the demo (only 1 per person) will get a chance to draw a slip.
Each slip will have what that person wins (Theme Deck, Pencil, Beach Ball, Pre-Release
Deck Box, Pre-Release Sleeves, and undisclosed surprise).
