Critical Hit Games — Weekly Pokemon TCG Tournament (Corona)

You found this. Be the first one here.

You have been tuning a deck in your head for months with no honest way to find out whether it holds up. Your friends are too kind. Ladder is too anonymous. What you need is a room.

This is the unglamorous middle layer nobody puts on a highlight reel — where a player crosses from kitchen-table casual to tournament-ready. Swiss rounds, entry covering prize support, the same regulars every week plus whoever wandered in holding a binder. Between rounds you will watch cards change hands, decks get taken apart on a table, somebody patiently explaining why a tech choice is correct to the person who just lost to it. Serious enough to matter, loose enough to stay fun, and the experienced players here genuinely want more bodies in the format rather than fewer. The ones who grind here turn up at regionals.

Saturdays in Corona. Bring the deck, the sleeves, and ten dollars.

Send this to the friend who keeps saying they'll go competitive next year.
