Now, for the first time... Join us in Janesville WI!! Sun Oct 3rd Kryptonite Kollectibles 1441 Plainfield Ave.
What's a Battle Road? The Pokémon TCG Battle Road Autumn tournaments are where players in each of the three POP-recognized age divisions can work on their Premier Ratings, potentially earning an invitation to the 2010 World Championships! They will be taking place across the country from September 19th through October 11th. Results of the Battle Road tournaments count toward your Premier Rating, and they are free to enter, so why not come join us in Janesville and test your skills! Format: The tournament is run using the Modified Constructed Format and Age Modified Swiss pairings. See the Pokémon Tournament Rules for information about the Modified Format and Swiss. The number of Swiss rounds run will depend on total attendance at the event, most likely 3 - 5 rounds, now in the new format, '30 minutes + 3 turns'. After the main event, up to the Top 4 ranked players will play Single Elimination until we have a winner in each of the 3 age groups. The sets legal in the Modified Format have recently been updated. As of Sept 1st the Modified Format is all sets from Majestic Dawn through Undaunted. Please make sure you’re ready with a legal deck by reviewing the legal sets for the Modified Format here and of course our Judges can check your deck for you when you arrive if you have any questions. The Battle Road series will have a K-Value of 4. For more information on how the K-Value affects your Premier Rating, please see the Ratings and Rankings FAQ. Remember, this is Battle Road Event... so keep in mind the following rules and restrictions: Of course if you have any questions at all as to if your deck is Tourney ready or not, please feel free to have us check over your deck for you. If you arrive and find that your deck is not legal to play in this tourney, don't worry, you will still be able to play. Some starter decks will be available to purchase right there at Kryptonite Kollectibles.
Decklists will be required for this event. I'll have blank decklist forms at the event for you to fill out, or a pdf file available here that you can print and fill out ahead of time, or better yet... you can go here to use this wonderful Decklist Creator program, which was created to help make it much easier to correctly fill out tournament deck lists, helping avoid errors and costly penalties. You can even customize your decklist with your favorite Pokemon. Just click on Blank Deck to get started and then print it out and bring it with you to the event. You will also need your POP ID number, so if you already have been assigned one, either from previous Pokemon Organized Play events or from your Pokemon League, be sure to bring your ID card or write down your number and bring it with you. If you do not have a POP ID number yet, no worries, we will assign one to you at the event.

Our divisions are: Junior Division: Born in 1998 or later Senior Division: Born in 1994, 1995, 1996, or 1997 Masters Division: Born in 1993 or earlier The top 4 finishers in each of the three age divisions will receive the following prizes: 1st Place

We'll make it a memorable day for you, so don't miss out!!
Registration will open at Noon, and we will not have a break for lunch, so be sure to eat before you come or bring along some extra money for some of the tasty items we have available at the store. They'll have fully stocked vending machines for your munching pleasure! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions!
Keep in Mind Hope to see you there!
