# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Pokémon TCG Gym Leader Challenge Tournament
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 24 Jan, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sat, 24 Jan, 2026 at 05:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Get ready for an exciting 16-person tournament for children ages 8-18. REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED! 

Each participant will need to bring their own sleeved 60-card deck for this “Gym Leader Challenge” Tournament.

As far as the rules go, they’re simple — you can only include one Pokémon type in your deck (grass, fire, water, dark, psychic, etc.); Pokémon with a Rule Box (Pokémon ex, Pokémon V, etc.) are banned; ACE SPEC cards are banned; and you’re limited to a single copy of each card name that you include (this is known as singleton in the Pokémon TCG community). This combination of rules is perfect for allowing you to experiment with a wide variety of decks that can create almost limitless game states and interactions as you play against other trainers.

Also, there are a few banned cards to promote a healthy format where everyone can have fun. You are not permitted to include these cards in your Gym Leader Challenge deck when playing at this event:

Lysandre’s Trump Card
Forest of Giant Plants
Shining Fates Kyogre 21/72
Vivid Voltage Raikou 50/185

Light snacks and prizes will be provided.
