Ruling Sleeves Question

[survivor]

I'm going tommorow to buy sleeves for my cards, but I have a question about which one to get. I heard that some type of sleeves are illegal and I can't use them at any Pokemon tournament. So I want to know which one is legal for tournaments?

 

[Whicker]

Get Dragon Shield, any color. They are perfectly legal in tournaments and will rarely tear.

^ they are the best, IMO

holo and printed sleeves are illegal in POP tournaments, so don't use those, just use blank, not-prited, one-colored sleeves

I agree.
If they don't have any get "Player's Choice"
The one'su can't use are the pokemon-art backed one's (even through I still use mine, but I just switch them out for my purple-dragon sheild one's)

What's Dragon Shield?

EDIT: Never mind, I've seen them.

It's just a brand-name....like ultra pro.
Ultra Pro are also good to use.

14.2. Card Sleeves
Card sleeves are allowed to be used at Pokémon Organized Play events, provided
that they meet the following requirements:
• All of the sleeves on a deck must be the same color, condition, size, and
texture
• The fronts of the sleeves are clear, clean, and free of designs, holograms,
and emblems that may obscure card information
• The sleeves completely cover the entire card, leaving no portion sticking
out of the open end
• The sleeves are not reflective enough to be used to determine the faces of
cards that remain in the deck.
• Each card sleeve may only contain one card.
• At all Premier Events other than Prereleases, the use of sleeves with any
form of artwork on the back of the sleeve is strictly prohibited. Sleeves at
these events must be either a solid color or transparent, and must be free of
any pattern.
o Official Pokémon sleeves may be used in these events on the
condition that the color along all four edges of the sleeve is the
same.
• The Head Judge of a Prerelease or non-Premier Event has the final say
over whether or not art-backed sleeves may be used at that event.
Inappropriate sleeve images (as determined by the Head Judge) are strictly
prohibited.
The Head Judge has the final say regarding whether a player’s card sleeves may
be used in an event.
