Im going to the Shonen Jump comp in Arlington and was wondering if anyone else is. I gess im just tired of playing in tournaments that dont matter. I hope to see alot of cool stuff at the tournament.

whoa, thats way down in texas lol, you won't see me there lol, and expect that SJC to be CROWDED

its going to be crazy but its the closest to oklahoma so im sol if i dont go.

I want to go. I doubt I can actually find a ride. Not being able to drive is soooooo annoying. COME GET ME!!

my girl freind would kill me. She is already mad that im playing so bringing another card player would shove her over the edge

See ya on monday maybe sunday :omg!:

I don't think I'd stand a chance right now. I'm running a throw together gravekeeper deck. I still can't find a ride...... All my friends can't find a ride. Its a bad time to not have a licence.

I went 3-2 by round 5 losing the last two so i droped. There was so much scouting going on it wasnt even funny people were coming up (this happened 13 time) and said hey can i see you stein otk. I said I didnt know what they were talking about.

I liked Jake McNeely's Deck with the Rush Recklessy and Banisher of the Radiance

I liked the Dark World burn. Very innovative and different.

Bobby with the DW/burn cheated

he used Protector of the Sanctuary with Card Destruction/morphing jar multiple times, even when a judge told him it was an illegal move.

He should've never topped 8

there was alot of cheating going on and spectators were part of the problem.

What kind of cheating?

Most cards that would cause the opponent to draw outside of the Draw Phase, such as "Card Destruction", cannot be activated, even by the controller of "Protector of the Sanctuary". However, effects that are forcibly activated, like "Morphing Jar", can be activated (but results may vary; see below).

If "Morphing Jar"'s effect activates, then both players discard their hands, but if you control "Protector of the Sanctuary", your opponent does not draw a new hand.


Those were taken from netrep.net.

He may have cheated when it came to card destruction, but with Morphing Jar, it was a perfectly legal move.

I thought they peeked at there top card and placed on the bottom of there deck if it was bad.

people were talking about how cards are played, lying about text, and life points werent watched very closely (I didnt run into these problems but i herd it was going on)

Yeah that sounds about right. I always keep track of both my and my opponents lp. Thats sad though, Its a big thing and the judges can't watch some people?

Even with events as big as these, there may not be enough judges. Atlanta had 522 people, and there were only like 7 or so judges, so sometimes they can get swamped and not see anything at all.

Thats bad, How do you become a judge anyway?

To become a Level 1, you need to take an online test as ude.com. After that, if you want to judge big things like regionals, you just have to know the right people. I was lucky to have met the guy who runs most most regionals here in the southeast, and talked to him a bit. If I'm lucky, I might be able to judge the next regionals coming up here. I'm still waiting for his reply to my email...so I'm keeping my finger's crossed.

Or better yet, if you know a place that holds like weekly UDE tourneys like at your local card shop theres bound to be like an official UDE judge there for info.

Well seeing as I'm my store's Level 1 Judge, I've bypassed that, so what I gave him is pretty much what a Level 1 judge will tell him :P

oh yea forgot to add, you have to be at least 16, ...i think
