I pity the fool who doesn't have as much bling as me!
Can you feel it? The time is near and the season is changing, it’s soon to be the most wonderful time of the year! A time of giving, caring, and celebration, our favorite season is about to begin!
That is, if by “giving” you mean “giving a beatdown”, by “caring” you mean “caring for your prize packs to make sure your cards won’t be damaged”, and by “celebration” you mean “celebrating your wins by wearing more medals around your neck than Mr. T”.
For us Pokemon players, we get not only the joy of (insert wintertime holiday here), but also the joys of City Championships—arguably the most important series of tournaments for the competitive tcg player. Why is that? Well, the City Championships have a K-Value of 16 (this is part of the rating system used to determine player rankings). What a K-Value of 16 means, is that your ranking will go up about 8 points for every evenly-matched opponent you play, with that number being higher or lower based on your opponent’s own rating.
