I’ll say it, since others can’t.
Houston’s organizer sent out a memo saying that Poké Pad POR would be legal for the tournament, which contradicts TPCi’s legality rules. Staff was allowed to confirm that Poké Pad POR was legal for play if asked, but not allowed to disclose the reason why.
This obviously didn’t sit well with TPCi and now the organizer is asking staff to delete all social media posts and blaming them for talking about it at all, even though they were initially permitted to.
As it stands currently, unless TPCi makes an official announcement permitting the card, if it’s allowed to be played at Houston, it is in direct violation of TPCi’s wishes.
