The final round of our Pokémon TCG Pocket tournament was a fierce showdown in which each of the five finalists had to face each other. In the end, @nerradlife emerged as the ultimate winner!

Thank you

I want to sincerely thank all of the participants — I wasn't sure how many people would join our inaugural tournament, or if we'd even be able to hold one, but we had a great showing. I believe all matches were able to be completed too. So thank you to everyone who took part! Really appreciate the great sportsmanship we saw.

I also want to say a huge thank you to @Teo and @Zachery for helping organize the tournament. This definitely could not have happened without their help!

Potential changes based on the first tournament

I think there are some changes we might make for future tournaments:

• Have participants vote on a single win-or-lose match or best-of-three match style for battles

• Try to organize some streaming of matches if that's something people would be interested in

• Make rules clearer based on questions that came in during the tournament

• Encourage people to set avatars so that we can use them in any graphics (a lot of Sewaddles this time!)

And we're also very open to feedback so that we can make things as fun as possible.

Congratulations to nerradlife and let's hope we can put on another tournament before the year ends!

I’m so happy with how everything turned out! It was a fantastic tournament, thank you all for participating! I’m looking forward to the next one! 🥳

Streaming of the finals would be great! I think there should be a final two, and that final should be a best of 3 or 5.

The preliminary rounds you might want to have every play three opponents and the ones with the best records proceed.

If there is a tie in the preliminary rounds, it would get reported as such. No ties in the finals.

Same deck should have to be used, especially during the finals.

As to avatars, I've tried to upload at least 10 different pics from my phone and the file size always says too large, even when I compress it. I'm thinking this is a me problem, and that I may have more luck if I log on to the computer.

Again, massive thanks to all involved in this!

Works fine on the computer lol; disregard the comment about avatars (unless others like me predominantly use cell to access).

No problem! I also edited the tournament graphics with your photo 😄
