A Golden (and Diamond) Opportunity!
A new Pokémon Trading Card Game generation begins in just a few weeks: the Diamond & Pearl expansion series is coming on May 23rd! This expansion introduces over 50 new Pokémon and new gameplay features, and you can be one of the first to experience it at the Diamond & Pearl prerelease tournaments! These tournaments take place throughout North America on the weekends of May 12th and 13th and May 19th and 20th, giving players a chance to play with the new cards before they're even available in stores!
Diamond & Pearl prerelease tournaments are open to all players in good standing, and the entry fee includes 6 Diamond & Pearl booster packs. Complete the tournament to receive 2 more booster packs - plus, all participants will get a Diamond & Pearl prerelease promo card while supplies last! Players will compete in three different age categories: Juniors (born in 1996 or later), Senior (born between 1992 and 1995), and Masters (born in or before 1991). As always, bring your Pokémon Organized Play ID if you have one, and if not, you can register for one at the event!
