# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Pokemon: Gym Leader Challenge Mid-Year Celebration
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 18 Jul, 2026 at 12:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Come play in this Gym Leader Challenge (GLC) Mid-Year Celebration Tournament at Wild Growth Games! We will play best-of-one 50-minute Swiss rounds until there is an undefeated player. GLC is a non-standard format where you build a 60-card deck that only has Pokémon of one type, similar to how Gym Leaders in the games function! This is a singleton format, meaning you can only play one copy of any given card or Pokémon with the same name. Additionally, you cannot use cards with a Rule Box (like exes, Vs, or ACE SPECs), but you may use most other cards that have been printed since Black & White.
