**************************************
We have more inifomation on some of the side events that will be taking place at WI States.
These will be subject to change depending on time allowed, staff, etc.

 

In addition to some fantastic competition, w e've got all kinds of fun planned for the day too! We think there's something for everyone here! These will be subject to change depending on time allowed, staff, etc.

Junior players- this will be the very first Pokemon State Poke-athalon. 3 very challenging stages in an obstacle style course. 16 contestants will be bracketed to face off one on one. If a player is eliminated, they will be able to go to our prize box and choose a random prize. Pairing will continue until we have a winner. More prizes will be added for the top finishers.
Stage 1-Khangaskan's sack race.......players will climb inside if a Pokemon sleeping bag, and race to the other end in potato-sack fashion.
Stage 2-Horsea's Bubble Attack.......each contestant will have to step out of their sleeping bag, and go to the table, and blow bubbles. When the judge says ok, you will go on to the last stage.
Stage 3-Chancey's Soft Boiled Egg Race.....The last leg of the competition will have contestants put an egg on a spoon and race back to the beginning of the course. Now you must be careful, because if you drop your egg, you get a penalty, and if they are really soft boiled, you will probably have a mess.

Senior players- Pokemon Legends Challenge....We will have 16 contestants in a group. Each player will be given a face down card. When instructed to, they will look at their card, and then try to find their legend match. One person will get a legend that doesnt match and will be out. Also there will be a "zonk" card handed out each round. That person will also be eliminated. Each player knocked out will get to draw from our prize box. We will continue to eliminate players until we have 2 left. Then we will have those 2 face off in a best-of-3 rock, paper, scissors match. Top players will get additional prizes.

All players- We will be having our regular 8 person, single elimination pods. This time will be a little different. In the past everyone paid $5 to participate. Instead of those knocked out round 1 getting nothing, they will each be able to go to our prize box and draw a prize.

There may be league play Friday night as well as during the event. This is subject to space availability, time, etc. Stay tuned for more info as it comes.

As in the past, weill be having a Pikachu raffle. Bring your Pikachu cards (any of them) and get raffle tickets towards prizes. The rarer the Pika, the more tickets its worth. Help Danielle's collection reach 20,000 Pikachu cards. She is already over 14,000 but can use the extra support from all of you.

We will also be having a Chansey raffle for Devin's collection. Bring in your Chansey cards and get tickets towards great prizes.

A new event this year. VIDEO GAME RAFFLE!! Bring in a copy of any vidoe game you dont want. Any game from any system. You will given a raffle ticket for every $1 the game is worth. Prizes will be announced as time draws near.

 

We'll have MUCH more details posted shortly! We plan to make this an event to remember! Stay tuned!
