ATTENTION EVERYONE - The Masters tournament file is being worked on by the TPCi web team, this why you're not seeing your points and the judges aren't seeing points for judging. I will post as soon as I hear back from TPCi. All other tournaments have been uploaded without any major issues. Working on pictures now, posting over on Houston Pokémon fb page.

Any good pictures of Houston Regionals out there? I have pictures of just about everyone that won something, except for a few that refused to have their photo taken, lol. I noticed a dad taking a lot of pictures, think he had a son in Masters. I'd love to post all the pictures. Posting my winner ones now, will post them on the Houston Pokémon page. I'll start with Juniors, then Seniors and Masters.

THANK YOU to all that attended the Houston TCG & VG Pokémon Regional Championships. Congratulations to all our WINNERS. Over 700 players participated in the championship tournaments, a VG Premier Challenge, 2 TCG League Challenges and over 40 8-man tournaments. Although it's called Houston Regionals, we had players from all over the United States come in to play. THANK YOU to our 45 judges and staff, they worked their butts off to ensure all our guest had a good time. A great tournament can't function without a GREAT staff. Thanks again everyone, all tournaments will be uploaded over the next couple of days. I'll be honest, I did nothing today other than take a well deserved siesta after our fiesta.
