I'm absolutely sick and tired of this narrative that there isn't enough time to run #GCG finals in B03 SB. Pokémon is B03. Magic is B03. Yu-Gi-Oh is B03. Riftbound is B03. Star Wars: Unlimited is B03. Lorcana is B03. DIGIMON is B03. There were 14 regionals in NA and EU. That means 224 players qualified. Let's assume another 300 or so made it in from store championships and every single player shows up. This 500-player tournament in B03 with 50 minutes of round time, 5 minutes of overtime and starting swiss at 9am would be done with Swiss by 5.30pm. The earliest OPTCG finals has ever finished swiss is 6pm in B01. If 5.30pm is too late, no worries! You could do what every other TCG does and not play all of swiss on day 1. If you play 7 rounds of swiss on day 1 (allowing 5-2s to advance to day 2) and cut to top 32 after 2 more swiss rounds you would play 7 rounds total on day 2. With a lunch break you're finishing each day around 5pm. Chuck in some delay time and we're still not even hitting dinner!

A Bandai rep was at several London locals yesterday collecting feedback on the game and has indicated that they are aware of the outrage around the finals. Please keep the pressure on and keep posting about it, we can't this get brushed under the rug. #GCG

Do NOT let Bandai attempt to convince you that the Gundam LCQ selling out is in any way an indication that they can get away with what they've done for western finals. Scalpers and One Piece players looking to play matching battle have bought out all the tickets. When there are hundreds of no shows at the event this will be clear. Keep the pressure on, @GUNDAM_GCG_ENG you must fix this embarrassment of a tournament. B03 Sideboard for the entire event and participation amuros. We demand parity with Japan. #GCG @official_BCG_EN @official_BCG_JP @GUNDAM_GCG_JP
