EX Sandstorm Tournaments and Card Scans
»EX Sandstorm Pre-Release Tournaments: As I have been saying for the past few weeks, there was going to be a pre-release EX Sandstorm tournament in San Diego. At the tournament, people would be receiving the EX Sandstorm cards a couple of weeks before the set would be released to make a deck out of. Though no official list has been released to where the tournaments are being held, people have already begun to sign up to hold the tournaments. Now, PokéGym has compiled a list of where the tournaments will be held and on what date, and I have obtained a copy for you to see where and when the tournaments are: 9/6- Garden City, MI 9/7- Butler, PA 9/13- Co Springs, CO 9/14- Columbus, OH I have also got a list of the prizes that you can win. Note that the price to enter the tournament is $20.00 per person, instead of the usual $15.00, so you can't win anything or enter the tournament unless you pay: 1st Place Remember, you also get to buy six EX Sandstorm packs at the beginning of the tournament, so everyone should get something. Also, everyone who participates in the tournament will receive a pre-release card, as shown on the list above.
»Future EX Sandstorm Scans: I have now learned how to use presets in Photoshop, which does anything to an image that you specify by hitting one button, such as cropping, resizing, etc. So now, I have setup all of the specifications and now I can scan, edit, and save four cards per minute. Thus, when I get some of the EX Sandstorm cards from the tournament (or a whole box if I come in first again), I should have the scans up in no time at all. Also when I go to the tournament, I will be hauling my huge HP All-In-One printer into my car hooked up to a small generator that hooks up to the cigarette lighter. So, when I am on the way home from the tournament, I can scan them to my laptop and then upload them when I get home. If I do happen to get every single card in the set, though I doubt it, that will equal 108 cards, which means all of the scanning will take about a half-an hour, and from the tournament to home takes 2 hours, so I will be finished unless I get another headache on the way home. Of course, I will not have the complete card list unless they supply one, so it may take a while to get all of the cards organized. Everybody hope I win again because then there will be more scans! »News/Event Reminders |
