How to manage future grid dynamics: system value of Smart Power Generation in...Smart Power Generation
DNV KEMA, a leading energy consultancy, evaluated California Independent System Operator (CAISO) operations and markets for the year 2020 using the PLEXOS™ dispatch simulation platform. This study explores the impact of using Smart Power Generation (SPG) to improve performance of future resource portfolios. The results show that 5.5 GW of SPG capacity (approximately 7% of the capacity for CAISO in 2020) can reduce annual overall variable system costs by 3.9 to 14% (290 million to 1.1 billion dollars), while reducing Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions and water consumption.
This report details research into using geophysical methods to detect stress changes in underground mines. Researchers used seismic tomography to map changes in seismic wave velocities as stress was applied to a mine pillar using hydraulic jacks. Electromagnetic emissions were also measured using antennas as stress increased. Seismic velocities decreased as stress rose, indicating the methods can detect stress changes. Higher frequency electromagnetic signals were detected from antennas near the pressurized pillar, supporting the hypothesis that stressed rock emits electromagnetic waves. The results suggest geophysical methods may help monitor rock stress and failure in mines.

Introduction
Pokémon Organized Play protocols and procedures are intended to foster a spirit of friendly competition at all
POP events. However, there occasionally arise situations, whether intentionally or unintentionally, in which
players and spectators do not abide by the rules of the Pokémon TCG or the Spirit of the Game. In these cases,
Tournament Organizers and judges need to issue penalties to the players, ranging from Cautions and Warnings
that do not represent substantial corrective action to more lasting forms of penalties, including disqualification
from an event.
This document is intended to provide Tournament Organizers and judges with guidelines by which they can
assign and report penalties in a fair, even, and logical way.
1. Assigning Penalties
Pokémon Organized Play Tournament Organizers seek to create fun, safe, and non‐stressful play experiences for
our players. For this reason, the application of penalties should be handled in the most polite and discrete
manner possible.
Every time a penalty is assigned, it should be accompanied by an explanation of specifically how the player’s
actions are disallowed by the Pokémon TCG rules or the POP Tournament Rules and by a clear description of
what penalty will result from a repeated infraction.
POP believes that standard‐level events are a learning environment for new players, as well as players practicing
for more competitive‐level events. Therefore, the application of penalties should be handled in a way that is
positive and that moves the player toward a better overall understanding of the rules. In order to avoid singling
players out or making a spectacle of an incident, Tournament Organizers and judges may want to assign
penalties in private.
In some cases a player may choose to drop from the event in an attempt to avoid receiving a serious penalty.
This tactic is unacceptable. The Head Judge should notify the player that the penalty will still be assessed and
reported to POP accordingly.
With the exception of the Unsporting Conduct penalties, the penalties outlined in this document assume that all
rules violations are unintentional. If a judge deems that a rules violation has been made intentionally, the
Unsporting Conduct: Cheating penalty should be applied. POP feels that cheating is the worst offense that a
player can commit at an event and should be dealt with swiftly.
1.1. Deviating from Recommended Penalties
The penalties for infractions are simply recommendations and may be increased or decreased in severity
based on circumstances. As a general rule, judges should take an especially easy approach with the
Junior age division. Younger players are often prone to mistakes due to lack of experience or the
intimidation of playing in a competitive environment. POP recommends starting with a Caution for most
penalties applied to players in the Junior age division. Younger or less‐experienced players should always
be given the benefit of the doubt, as they are often learning the game and most of the mistakes they
make are accidental. These players may be given additional Caution penalties before a Warning is
issued.
Pokémon Organized Play Penalty Guidelines
Rev: September 1, 2009
4. 4
The final word on what penalties should be applied to which players and at what time is up to the Head
Judge of the event. The Tournament Organizer and other judges may assign penalties, but they should
always check with the Head Judge before assigning a penalty more severe than a Warning. All Cautions
and Warnings assigned by any judge or Tournament Organizer should be reported to the Head Judge of
the event. The Head Judge is required to report any penalty above a Caution to Pokémon Organized
Play.
2. Repeated Infractions
In the case where a player repeats an infraction or fails to correct his or her behavior after receiving a penalty,
the judge or Tournament Organizer should increase the level of penalty for each subsequent infraction to
further reinforce the need for the erring player to play within the rules. This will result in a higher‐than‐usual
penalty being issued for a particular offense.
Generally speaking, increasing the penalty by one step per repetition of an infraction is satisfactory. This means
that for the fourth penalty, an error that was originally penalized with a Caution will often receive a Game Loss.
In some cases, increasing the penalty by more than one step may be appropriate.
Judges and Tournament Organizers should understand that a tournament is not an isolated incident. If a player
has a history of excessively committing the same infractions at your events, starting with a penalty higher than
the one recommended in this document is appropriate. For example, a player who has a history of Unsporting
Conduct: Minor at past events could be issued a Warning or Prize Card penalty, instead of a Caution for the first
instance of the penalty at an event.
3. Multiple Infractions
Players who commit more than one type of infraction during the course of an event are often genuinely
uninformed: competitive tournaments can be daunting, and there is much to learn about procedure, etiquette,
and fair play. It can also be nerve‐wracking to compete for prizes at the age of many of our players, and they
should be given every chance to learn about the game and the Pokémon Organized Play system.
That being said, it is also important to recognize that some players attempt to gain extra leverage at an event by
committing several different errors “accidentally,” and these players should be encouraged to discontinue this
type of behavior.
Simply put, the decision as to whether to increase the penalty assigned to a player who has previously
committed a different infraction is left to the assigning judge or Tournament Organizer. Younger and less‐
experienced players deserve a little extra consideration, and, unless recommended in this document, Game Loss
penalties should rarely be assigned to first offenses, even if the player has made other mistakes during the same
event.
4. Unreported Infractions
It is each player’s responsibility to ensure that he or she and his or her opponent are playing by both the game
and tournament rules. If a player makes a game play, procedural, or other error, and both that player and his or
Pokémon Organized Play Penalty Guidelines

her opponent miss the error, the judge and Tournament Organizer cannot be held responsible for the game‐play
decisions made after the error or for the outcome of the game itself.
5. Reporting Penalties to POP
Simple Cautions do not need to be reported to POP; however, penalties at the Warning level and above must be
reported. POP tracks each player’s penalty history to differentiate intentional repetition of infractions from
unintentional occurrences and to determine if long‐term action is necessary.
Penalties that require reporting must be submitted to customerservice@pokemon.com within 7 days of the
event date. A penalty reporting form can be found on the Tournament Rules and Resources page for your
convenience.
If you cannot access the penalty reporting form, please email the information to
customerservice@pokemon.com:
• Tournament sanctioning number
• POP IDs and names of the relevant players
• POP ID and name of the judge issuing the penalty
• A detailed account of the relevant proceedings of the event, up to and including the infraction, the
response from the judges and Tournament Organizer, and the reaction, if any, of the involved players
6. Types of Penalties
The following list details the various levels of penalty in order of severity. Only Pokémon Organized Play is
authorized to add to or alter any of the penalties below. Tournament Organizers and judges may not issue any
penalty other than those listed below.
6.1. Caution
A Caution is the most basic of assigned penalties. In essence, the judge or TO assigning the Caution is
merely notifying the player that he or she did something wrong. The Caution should be followed with an
explanation to the player about the correct procedure as well as notification to the player that a
repeated offense may result in a higher penalty.
6.2. Warning
A Warning is similar to a Caution in that both are minor penalties. They differ in that Warnings must be
reported to POP by the Head Judge or Tournament Organizer of the event in which they occur. If
younger or less‐experienced players commit a second offense that was penalized the first time with a
Caution, a second Caution is a suitable second penalty, but a Warning may need to be issued on a third
offense. Judges should always use discretion when escalating a penalty in the Junior age division, as this
group is often still learning the game.
After a Warning has been issued, the issuing TO or judge should confirm that the erring player is aware
of the proper rules and procedures as set forth in the POP Tournament Rules and the Pokémon TCG
rulebook. The player should be informed that a repeat offense may result in an escalated penalty, such
as a Prize Card penalty or a Game Loss.

6. 6
6.3. Prize Card
The Prize Card penalty is used when a mistake has been made that significantly affects the game state
and there is no clear way to resolve the issue, or when a Warning has been given and a Multi‐Prize Card
penalty would be too harsh. When issuing a Prize Card penalty, a judge gives the player who did not
commit the penalty the option to draw one of his or her Prize cards into his or her hand. The penalty is
still recorded, even if the player chooses to not draw the Prize card. If this Prize card happens to be the
last Prize card, the game is over, and the player who drew his or her last Prize card is given the game
win.
6.4. MultiPrize Card
The Multi‐Prize Card penalty is used when a mistake has been made that has a severe impact on the
game state and there is no clear way to resolve the issue, but a Game Loss is too harsh of a penalty.
When issuing a Multi‐Prize Card penalty, a judge gives the player who did not commit the penalty the
option to draw three of his or her Prize cards into his or her hand. The player may choose to draw fewer
than three Prize cards if he or she wishes, and must announce how many he or she will be taking in
advance of drawing these Prize cards. The penalty is still recorded, even if the player chooses to not
draw any Prize cards. If one of these Prize cards happens to be the last Prize card, the game is over, and
the player who drew his or her last Prize card is given the game win.
6.5. Game Loss
The Game Loss penalty is generally used when a mistake has been made that has a severe impact on the
game state, to the point where the game is irreparably broken and unable to continue. This penalty is
also used for other major procedural errors or problems.
When issuing a Game Loss penalty during an active game, the game is recorded as a loss for the player
receiving the penalty. In extreme cases where significant errors have been made by both players in a
game, a Game Loss penalty may be issued to both players simultaneously. A game terminated in this
manner is recorded as having no winner.
If this penalty is issued in‐between rounds, the penalty is applied to the player’s next game.
6.6. Disqualification
Disqualification is the most serious penalty that can be issued at a tournament. Its use should be strictly
reserved for the most extreme cases, where a player's actions (whether intentional or unintentional)
have significantly and negatively impacted the integrity or operation of the entire event. Players who
receive this penalty are removed from the tournament and become ineligible to receive any prizes. It is
important that the removal be enacted in such a way so as not to inflame, extend, or call any more
attention to the situation than is absolutely necessary.
The timing of a player’s disqualification has an impact on the remainder of the tournament.
• If disqualified after pairings are posted or during an active match, the player is given a loss for
that round, and then dropped from the event.
• If disqualified after his or her match is completed but before pairings for the next round are
posted, the player is simply dropped from the event.
• If disqualified at any point during a Single Elimination cut, the player is dropped from the event,
and his or her opponent receives a win for that round.
Pokémon Organized Play Penalty Guidelines
Rev: September 1, 2009
7. 7
If the player’s actions warrant it, asking the player to leave the tournament site may be necessary. The
player receiving the penalty should be given time to collect his or her belongings and to make
arrangements with any other players he or she may have traveled with.
7. Types of Infractions
There are several categories of infraction, and each should be treated slightly differently based on the age and
experience level of the involved players.
Each infraction lists two penalties. The Tier 1 Penalty is the first penalty that should be assigned to a player
committing this type of infraction at an event with a K‐Value of 16 or less, such as a store level tournament,
Battle Road, or City Championships event. The Tier 2 Penalty should be assigned at an event with a K‐Value
higher than 16, as players at these events are held to a higher standard of game play. Additionally, the Pokémon
TCG World Championships will use the Tier 2 Penalty category.
7.1. GamePlay Error
This infraction covers general mistakes made during the course of a game. These mistakes can have very
little impact on a game, or they can bring a game to an abrupt halt. This category defines the three
levels of errors and outlines the appropriate penalties for each.
7.1.1. Minor
These errors have very little effect on game‐play and can usually be fixed with little effort. In
many cases, players should be given multiple starting penalties before escalating the penalty,
and the maximum penalty given should be a Prize Card penalty.
Examples of Game‐Play Error: Minor include:
• Playing a Team Galactic’s Mars and looking at the card before putting it on the bottom
of your opponent’s deck.
• Forgetting to discard a Supporter card at the end of your turn.
• Playing a Supporter card into your discard pile instead of next to your Active Pokémon.
• Declaring an attack without having the proper Energy attached.
• Drawing an extra card.
• Forgetting to flip a coin for a Burned or Poisoned Pokémon in between turns.
• Inadvertently revealing the top card of your deck, or one of your Prize Cards.
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Caution
Tier 2: Warning
7.1.2. Major
When game state has become irreversibly confused due to game‐play errors, it is appropriate
for the judge to issue a higher‐level penalty. Major game‐play error penalties are also
appropriate for minor game‐play errors that have left the game too confused to reset.
Pokémon Organized Play Penalty Guidelines
Rev: September 1, 2009
8. 8
In addition to the assigned penalty to the offending player, a Caution should be issued to the
player’s opponent for not properly keeping track of game state and rules.
Examples of Game‐Play Error: Major include:
• Playing more than one Energy card in a turn without the use of an effect that allows you
to.
• Shuffling your deck mid‐game without the use of a card effect.
• Insufficiently randomizing your deck.
• Failing to place Prize cards at the beginning of the game*
• Drawing a Prize card without Knocking Out a Pokémon.
• Drawing too many Prize cards after Knocking Out a Pokémon.
• Forgetting to place damage counters on a Pokémon from a mandatory effect, such as
Poisoned.
• Using a Poké‐Power when a card prevents its use.
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Warning
Tier 2: Prize Card
*If the Head Judge determines that the offending player gained significant advantage due to this
error, the starting penalty should be escalated one step. If the Head Judge determines that game
state is irreparably broken, this penalty should be escalated to Game Play Error: Severe.
7.1.3. Severe
In some cases, a game‐play error occurs which irreparably breaks the game state. In these cases,
there is no way that either player or a judge can reset the game to the point where it can be
continued.
In addition to the assigned penalty to the offending player, a Warning should be issued to the
player’s opponent for not properly keeping track of game state and rules.
Examples of Game‐Play Error: Severe include:
• Shuffling your hand into your deck without the use of a card effect.
• Shuffling your Prize cards into your deck without the use of a card effect.
• Shuffling your discard pile into your deck without the use of a card effect.
• Picking up your cards before both players agree on the game winner.
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Game Loss
Tier 2: Game Loss
7.2. Marked Cards
Cards in a player’s decks that are clearly distinguishable from other cards in the deck are called marked.
A variety of conditions can cause the cards in a player’s deck to become marked. Because marked cards
can give a player foresight into the next card that he or she will draw, the contents of his or her deck, or
the location of a specific card in the player’s deck, marked cards cannot be allowed in a player’s deck at
Pokémon Organized Play Penalty Guidelines
Rev: September 1, 2009
9. 9
a sanctioned Pokémon TCG event. If the problem is caught during deck checks prior to the start of the
event, these errors can be corrected without issuing a penalty.
While considering the severity of penalty to be assessed based on advantage, the tournament staff
should take into account both the markings on the cards or sleeves, and the variety of cards that have
these markings. For example, if five different cards in a player’s deck are marked due to sleeve length, it
is reasonable to assume that little advantage was gained, as knowledge of which cards are in those
sleeves provides very little advantage. However, in the same example, if the cards all have a similar
mechanic, such as allowing the player to search their deck for a Pokémon, significant advantage could
have been gained, so a stronger penalty should be applied.
If a player is required to resleeve a deck due to deck problems, the player should be strongly
encouraged to randomize the deck prior resleeving. In the event that there is a flaw in the new sleeves
that goes undetected initially, randomizing the deck will reduce the likelihood of a pattern occurring.
Players are always responsible for the condition of their cards and card sleeves, even if any problems
were missed by the event staff during a previous deck check.
7.2.1. Minor
This penalty should be used when marked cards exist but there is no discernable pattern to
which cards are marked. If there appears to be some pattern to which cards are marked,
escalating to the next penalty tier is appropriate.
Placing the deck in card sleeves (if unsleeved) or replacing the damaged sleeves (if sleeved)
usually solves the problem. Marked cards or sleeves should be replaced as soon as possible,
without disrupting game play.
Examples of Marked Cards: Minor include:
• Two basic Energy, a Ralts, a Warp Point, and a Potion have a thumbnail mark along the
lower edge of the sleeve. No solid pattern to which cards are marked is evident which
would provide the player with significant advantage.
• The player’s sleeves have standard wear and tear in different areas of the sleeves, which
could allow the player to determine which cards are which at a cursory glance.
• Several of the player’s cards are parallel holo versions of the card, causing a slight bend
down the center of the card. However, while the cards are identifiable as parallel holo
cards, there is enough variety in which cards bend that no pattern can be determined.
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Caution
Tier 2: Warning
7.2.2. Major
This penalty applies to a player who has marked cards or sleeves and there is a discernable
pattern to which cards are marked. Because the possibility for a player to gain an advantage is
high, the penalties associated with this category are more severe. Further investigation may be
required to determine if the markings are intentional, or if the player is using accidental
markings to intentionally gain advantage. If this proves to be the case, the penalty should be
escalated to Unsporting Conduct: Cheating, and the appropriate action should be taken.
Pokémon Organized Play Penalty Guidelines
Rev: September 1, 2009
10. 10
Placing the deck in card sleeves (if unsleeved) or replacing the damaged sleeves (if sleeved)
usually solves the problem. Marked cards or sleeves should be replaced as soon as possible,
without disrupting game play.
Examples of Marked Cards: Major include:
• All of the Basic Pokémon in a player’s deck are parallel holo, causing a slight bend down
the center of the card. This creates a pattern which allows the player to identify Basic
Pokémon when the cards are face‐down, at rest.
• A card in the players deck was damaged, and has created a visible wear mark on the
back of the sleeve along the damaged area, allowing the card to easily be identified
while face‐down.
• The sleeves on all of the Special Energy cards in a player’s deck are slightly longer than
the rest of the sleeves.
• A player has drawn on some of his or her cards, and the markings appear along the
edges of the cards, where they are discernable when the deck is at rest.
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Multi‐Prize Card
Tier 2: Game Loss
7.3. Deck Problem
This section serves as a catchall for problems involving illegal decks and decklists discovered after a
tournament has started. A player’s decklist is the roadmap to his or her deck. It is important that each
player’s deck matches his or her decklist at all times over the course of the tournament. There are four
general categories for deck problems, which are outlined below.
The timing of when a decklist or deck problem is discovered dictates what penalty should be assigned.
If decklist or deck problems are caught during deck checks prior to the start of the event, these errors
can be corrected without issuing a penalty. As the deck has not been officially registered at this time,
the player may make any changes to the decklist or deck to make it legal.
• If decklist or deck problems are caught during a match and the problem can be quickly and
easily resolved, the penalties below should be used. The player is restricted as to what changes
can be made, as outlined below.
• If decklist or deck problems are caught during a match and the problem cannot be quickly
resolved, or the error has created significant advantage to the player, a Game Loss should be
issued. The player is restricted as to what changes can be made, as outlined below.
• If decklist or deck problems are caught between rounds, the penalties listed below should be
used. The player is restricted as to what changes can be made, as outlined below.
In all cases, it is important that the illegal deck or decklist be corrected as soon as possible. The player
should be reminded why his or her deck or decklist was illegal, and that player should be the individual
who actually changes the cards in his or her deck. These changes must be verified by the Head Judge or
Tournament Organizer of the event.
Pokémon Organized Play Penalty Guidelines
Rev: September 1, 2009
11. 11
Players are always responsible for ensuring that the contents of their deck and decklist are legal for the
event, even if any deck problems were missed by the event staff during a previous deck check.
Sections 7.3.1. through 7.3.4. assume that the deck problems are caught after the event has begun.
7.3.1. Illegal Decklist, Legal Deck
If a player’s deck meets the format restrictions and deck construction rules but the decklist does
not, the decklist should be made legal by replacing the illegal cards with basic Energy cards of
the player’s choosing, if necessary. The deck should then be modified to reflect the changes.
Examples of Deck Problems: Illegal Decklist, Legal Deck include:
• In a Modified event, the decklist contains two copies of Pikachu (EX Sandstorm 72/100),
but the deck contains two copies of Pikachu (Diamond & Pearl‐Majestic Dawn 70/100).
• The decklist contains five copies of Metal Energy (Special), but the deck contains four
copies of Metal Energy (Special).
• The decklist contains more or less than sixty cards, but the deck contains exactly sixty
cards.
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Caution
Tier 2: Caution
7.3.2. Legal Decklist, Illegal Deck
If a player’s decklist meets the format restrictions and deck construction rules but the deck does
not, the illegal cards must be removed from the deck, and the deck must be modified to match
the decklist. The Head Judge should carefully consider what advantage, if any, was gained by the
illegal deck. If the Head Judge feels that there was a significant advantage, elevating the penalty
to a Game Loss may be necessary.
The exception to this is if cards are simply missing from the deck. This usually happens if the
player and a previous opponent are using similar sleeves, if cards get stuck in the player’s deck
box, or if cards are dropped on the floor. If the card is found, or the player can provide an
identical card to replace the missing one, the player should be allowed to continue the event
without further modifying the deck or the decklist. If the card cannot be found and the player
cannot provide an identical card, the missing card should be replaced with a basic Energy card of
the player’s choice, and the decklist should be modified to reflect the new contents of the deck.
Either way, the penalty should still be issued.
Examples of Deck Problems: Legal Decklist, Illegal Deck include:
• The decklist contains four copies of Metagross and one copy of Metagross ex, but the
deck contains five copies of Metagross. In this case, one Metagross is replaced with a
basic Energy card, and the decklist is modified to reflect the change.
• The decklist contains sixty cards, including four copies of Cursed Stone, but the deck
contains fifty‐nine cards and only three copies of Cursed Stone. In this case, the player
may add one Cursed Stone to his or her deck. If that player cannot provide one, he or
she must add a basic Energy card. The decklist is then modified to reflect the change.

Majestic Dawn), but the deck contains two copies of Pikachu (EX Sandstorm). In this
case, the Pikachu cards are removed from the deck and replaced with basic Energy
cards, and the decklist is modified to reflect the change.
• More than 10% or the player’s deck is made up of foreign cards, as defined by the
Pokémon Tournament Rules. In this case, the excess cards should be replaced with a
local language version if possible. If this is not possible, the cards should be replaced
with basic Energy cards. The decklist is then modified to reflect the change.
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Warning
Tier 2: Warning
7.3.3. Illegal Decklist, Illegal Deck
Occasionally, a player will simply show up with a completely illegal decklist and deck that do not
meet the format restrictions or the deck construction rules. When this is the case, both the deck
and the decklist must be modified to make the deck legal for the event. Any illegal cards should
be replaced with basic Energy cards of the player’s choice, and the changes should be reflected
on the decklist.
As with the previous category, the Head Judge should carefully consider what advantage, if any,
was gained by the illegal deck. If the Head Judge feels that there was a significant advantage or
the error cannot be easily fixed during the match, elevating the penalty to a Game Loss may be
necessary.
Examples of Deck Problems: Illegal Decklist, Illegal Deck include:
• Both the decklist and the deck contain five copies of Metal Energy (Special), violating the
four‐card limit rule.
• Both the decklist and the deck contain more or less than sixty cards.
• In a Modified event, both the decklist and the deck contain four Dark Ampharos cards
(EX Team Rocket Returns 2/109).
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Prize Card
Tier 2: Prize Card
7.3.4. Legal Decklist, Legal Deck
Occasionally a player’s decklist and deck meet the format restrictions and the deck construction
rules but do not match. As the contents of the decklist always take priority over the contents of
the deck itself, the player must modify his or her deck so that it matches the decklist. If the
player is unable to provide the cards listed on the decklist, missing cards should be replaced
with basic Energy cards of the player’s choice, and the decklist should be updated to reflect
these changes.
As with previous categories, the Head Judge should carefully consider what advantage, if any,
was gained by this error. If the Head Judge feels that there was a significant advantage or the

error cannot be easily fixed during the match, elevating the penalty to a Game Loss may be
necessary.
Examples of Deck Problems: Legal Decklist, Legal Deck include:
• A player’s deck contains 4 Darkness Energy cards, but the decklist contains 4 Dark Metal
Energy cards.
• A player’s deck contains 4 Shelgon cards (EX Delta Species 53/113), but the decklist
contains 2 Shelgon cards (EX Delta Species 53/113) and 2 Shelgon cards (EX Delta
Species 54/113).
• A player’s deck contains 3 Battle Frontier cards and 2 Cursed Stone cards, but the
decklist contains 2 Battle Frontier cards and 3 Cursed Stone cards.
• In an Unlimited event, the decklist contains four copies of Torchic (EX Ruby & Sapphire
73/109), but the deck contains four copies of Torchic (EX Ruby & Sapphire 74/109).
• Cards in the player’s deck have been marked on, though none of the markings appear to
create a marked card situation.
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Warning
Tier 2: Warning
7.4. Game Tempo
The pace of a Pokémon TGC game should be moderate and lively, and each player should receive
approximately half of the allotted time for the game. However, the way players react to pressure can
have an impact on the tempo at which they take their turns. Judges should watch for changes in tempo
and make corrections if needed.
In general, the following time limits for various game actions should be appropriate. The times given
below are general guidelines; players attempting to compartmentalize their turn in order to use every
second of the time allowed for the items below are almost certainly stalling and should be subject to the
Unsporting Conduct: Severe penalties.
• Performing the actions of a card or attack: 15 seconds
• Shuffling and setup, game start: 2 minutes
• Shuffling and deck search, mid‐game: 15 seconds
• Starting the turn after opponent’s “end of turn” announcement: 5 seconds
• Considering the game position before playing a card: 10 seconds
7.4.1. Slow Play
Players should take care to play in a manner that keeps the game pace brisk, regardless of the
complexity of the situation. A player who takes too long to make decisions about game play runs the
risk of putting his or her opponent at a disadvantage due to the round’s time limit. In addition to the
recommended penalty, the judge may issue a time extension to offset this disadvantage.
Examples of Game Tempo: Slow Play include:
• You are excessively slow when deciding which Pokémon to attach an Energy card to.
Pokémon Organized Play Penalty Guidelines
Rev: September 1, 2009
14. 14
• You take an unreasonable amount of time deciding which Basic Pokémon to take from your
deck after playing a Poké Ball card.
• Counting or searching your (or your opponent’s) deck or discard pile more than once in a
short time period.
• Repeatedly searching your deck, hand, or discard pile while performing a card effect.
• Attempting to engage in extraneous conversation that interferes with timely play.
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Caution
Tier 2: Warning
7.4.2. Rushing
Rushing involves a player trying to get his or her opponent to play faster. This can cause the
opponent to lose his or her concentration, making the player more likely to make a mistake. Rushing
is often a symptom of an opponent’s Slow Play, but it can also occur when a player is excited to get
to his or her next turn.
Examples of Game Tempo: Rushing include:
• Placing your hand near your deck to draw a card during an opponent’s turn, indicating that
you are ready to start your turn.
• Making exasperated noises or comments regarding your opponent’s actions.
• Rushing through your opponent’s attack step by putting damage on your Pokémon before
your opponent announces which attack is being used, or the total damage being done to the
Defending Pokémon.
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Caution
Tier 2: Warning
7.5. Procedural Error
A player who causes an error in the operation of an event, such as misreporting a match, playing the
wrong opponent, failing to notify a judge or TO that they are dropping from the event, or other such
errors, needs to be reminded of the procedural rules of a Pokémon Organized Play event. As with Game‐
Play Errors or other accidental infractions, this reminder is customarily given with a Caution penalty.
Repeated infractions may result in higher penalties.
7.5.1. Minor
This category covers smaller errors that do not have a serious impact on the operation of the
event. If the situation can be corrected before any delay or disruption occurs, the correction
should always be made and no higher penalty than a Caution should be dispensed for a first
infraction. If the situation goes unreported until delay or disruption is caused, a Warning is a
suitable first penalty.
Examples of Procedural Error: Minor include:
• Forgetting to sign the match slip.
• Entering marked or announced staff‐only areas.
• Interrupting staff during announcements to players or rulings in progress.
Pokémon Organized Play Penalty Guidelines
Rev: September 1, 2009
15. 15
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Caution
Tier 2: Caution
7.5.2. Major
Occasionally errors are made that have a much larger impact on the tournament’s operation.
Some can cause a major delay in the timeliness of the event; others can cause a significant
inconvenience for the players around you. In some extreme cases the penalty for this infraction
can be escalated to a Game Loss for a first offense.
Examples of Procedural Error: Major include:
• Incorrectly filling out a match slip
• Showing up to a match late (less than 5 minutes).
• Failure to provide a reference card or Card‐Dex when using a foreign card.
• Failure to provide status condition markers if cards in your deck use those conditions.
• Failure to provide damage counters.
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Warning
Tier 2: Warning
7.5.3. Severe
This category is typically reserved from an infraction that has a significant impact on the event,
or is the result of a breakdown in event protocol.
Examples of Procedural Error: Severe include:
• Reporting the incorrect result of a match.
• Showing up late to a match (5 minutes or more).
• Failure to report that you are dropping from an event before leaving the venue. (This
penalty should still be issued, regardless of whether the player is there to receive it or
not.)
• Playing the incorrect opponent. (In this case, the player sitting at the wrong table
receives the penalty.)
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Game Loss
Tier 2: Game Loss
7.6. Unsporting Conduct
This group of penalties covers the inappropriate actions taken by players or spectators at an event. This
category always assumes that the offending actions are intentional. A player does not have to be
actively involved in a match to receive an Unsporting Conduct penalty. While players and spectators
should enjoy their tournament experience, they also need to remember that their actions can have a
negative impact on fellow participants.
Pokémon Organized Play Penalty Guidelines
Rev: September 1, 2009
16. 16
7.6.1. Minor

TCG event. Players who don’t behave properly need to be reminded to with the issuance of a
penalty. Infractions in this category have a direct impact on event operation or cause a small
degree of emotional distress to those around them.
Examples of Unsporting Conduct: Major include:
• Leaving a large amount of garbage in the tournament area.

emotional distress to those around them, or involve a physical altercation.
Examples of Unsporting Conduct: Severe include:
• Defacement of tournament area.

Pokémon Organized Play Penalty Guidelines
Rev: September 1, 2009
17. 17
• Theft.
• Use of slurs or insults.
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Disqualification
Tier 2: Disqualification
7.6.4. Cheating
Players who intentionally commit infractions are looking to gain an unfair advantage over other
players at the event. The Head Judge should carefully consider whether an infraction was
intentional or not before applying this penalty. If the Head Judge feels that an infraction was
unintentional, this penalty should not be applied.
Examples of Unsporting Conduct: Cheating include:
• Drawing extra cards.
• Taking cards from the discard pile and adding them to your hand or deck.
• Offering some form of compensation to an opponent for a concession.
• Altering match results after the conclusion of the match.
• Playing with marked cards.
• Lying to event staff.

• Arbitrarily adjusting the Special Conditions or damage counters put on any Pokémon in
play.
• Use of dubious game actions intended to deceive your opponent into making misplays.
• Attempting to manipulate a random result.
• Stacking your deck.
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Disqualification
Tier 2: Disqualification
8. Lasting Consequences
Players who commit repeated infractions over a series of events, or commit enough infractions at a single event
to result in disqualification, may require a lasting penalty to be assigned to them.
Pokémon Organized Play is the only body authorized to penalize players with penalties that extend over multiple
events. Pokémon Organized Play requires the reporting of all penalty assignments of Warning level or higher in
order to ensure that these penalties are made fairly and only when warranted.
9. Suspension
Pokémon Organized Play may issue suspensions to players who disrupt other players or the events they attend.
In these cases, the players will be notified and their names and POP IDs will be made available to POP
Tournament Organizers.
