Hey everyone!

I'm having a hard time understanding Konami's current playmat policy for Tier 3 events in Europe, and I'd appreciate some clarification.

I'm planning to use a custom-designed playmat at a future YCS or National Championship, but I'm not entirely sure whether it would be allowed under the current tournament rules.

I've attached an image of my design for reference.

Would a custom playmat like this be permitted at a Tier 3 event? Could any aspect of the design cause issues under Konami's tournament policy?

I'd especially appreciate answers from players or judges with experience at YCS or National Championship events. I understand that the final decision may be up to the Head Judge.

Thanks in advance!

The word is, investors with big time money are pouring a lot of cash into the Lorcana space. It is the only major tcg that every single set in print has posted booster box gains on the year with a low of 20% for Floodborn and a high of 500% for Fabled. Here is a document one of my friends sent me with a random list of sets from new to iconic to vintage and how they compare against Lorcana in 2026. Why do you think Lorcana is growing so fast? Great gameplay, art, IP, or something else?

I don’t know if I can recommend Dragon Shield anymore. 1 or 2 sleeves getting messed up is fine, but half of the pack, I’m disappointed.

Havent even went through it yet, know nothing about sports card and only a little bit about pokemon, there is also whole binder full of hockey cards

Excited for Dinos to be a part of Escape Land! Jett has done some amazing work and it’s really cool to see her designs in bringing these awesome critters and monsters to life. Really think people are going to love set 2.
