About this Event

$25.00 entry fee

Format: Booster Draft

This is a 3-round (best of 3) casual event. Players get promo booster packs for participation. Games will count toward league points. Prize booster packs are awarded at a rate of 2 per win and 1 per draw.

Ditto Draft Rules

-Players will be seated in a circle and receive four booster packs to facilitate the draft. Once everyone is ready, the Organizer will signal the players to open their first booster pack. Each player selects one card from the pack and sets it aside to start their draft selection pile, along with the code card and the basic Energy card or VSTAR marker. Players then pass the remaining cards from the booster pack, face down, to the person on their left. The cards selected by each player should remain secret during the drafting process. Each player continues to select one card from among the cards passed to them until all the cards have been selected. After all cards from a booster pack have been picked, players will have one minute to review the cards they have so far. This process repeats for each remaining booster pack, with the passing pattern alternating from left to right as each new pack is opened.

-After all the booster packs have been opened and all the cards have been selected, each player constructs a 40-card deck using the cards they picked from the booster packs as well as basic Energy cards provided by the Organizer. Players have 20 minutes to construct their decks. Players may not trade the cards they selected in the draft with other players until the tournament ends. After everyone's deck is completed, play begins.

-Games will be played with 4 Prize cards instead of the usual six.

-Players may change the contents of their decks using the other cards from their draft pool between rounds, but not during a round.

-All standard gameplay rules apply, with the following additional Ditto Draft rule:

  • Once during your turn (before you attack), you may place a Ditto marker on 1 of your Basic Pokémon that doesn’t have a Rule Box nor a Ditto marker already on it. It gains the following Ability:
  • Ability: EVOLUTIONARY ADVANTAGE. Once during your turn, you may put any Stage 1 or Stage 2 card from your hand onto this Pokémon to evolve it. You can’t use this Ability during your first turn or the turn this Pokémon was put into play. If you put a Stage 2 card onto this Pokémon, your turn ends.
