Jeff has set up a Regionals Info website with more information for you and links to the various hotels in the area. There are even discounts for the Water Park, so be sure to mention Pokemon Regionals.

Note: There are also rooms left at The Polynesian Isle or the Polynesian Resort, from what some of our TIY players said who got rooms there... they said it was at a very reasonable rate, and included 2 water parks. This site has links to ALL the area hotels.

Format: Modified Constructed (bring your best Deoxys-on Modified deck!)
Age Modified Swiss (everyone will play in all the rounds, number of rounds determined by number of players in each age group)
After the Swiss Rounds, there will be Top Cuts (up to Top16) for each of the 3 age groups.

If you're there on Friday night, you can feel free to call Jeff Prentiss's cell phone 612-749-8225 (or ask the Hotel for his room number) to find out where players are hanging out.

I'm certain everyone will have a wonderful time there!
Wish I could be there with all of you, but the problems with my back just won't let me. However, Keny and I will be at TIY cheering everyone on, and some of our players will be calling me to update us on how it's going there. And if you have a digital camera and want to share some of the pictures you take when you're there, please email me and I'll include them here in our results page! Since I can't be there, help show me what a great time you're having there and email me your pictures!

Also a reminder, Jeff's MN store, Outpost2000 will be there with plenty of products on hand to make your Regionals experience a fun one! He'll have Theme Decks, Booster Packs, Sleeves, Dice, Singles... everything you need to enhance your decks for the big event!
