Okay...I thought this was just common sense.

So why are they switching again? Is it just a thing where they say "My deck doesn't do so well against Mental Power so I'll switch to my mental power deck!" If so thats what the side deck is for. If thats the case use logic on them.

"If you're allowed to switch decks mid tournament, then why does side decking exist?"

I'd like to say we do, but as far as I know we don't have a Judge or Meijin (who is informed of the rules of the game, much less knows how to play.)

So...Next best bet is the tournament organizer.

Anyway, yeah it was a case of "oh my deck isn't doing so hot at all, let me just change to something else".

This thread is dumb and I really wish I didn't have to ask to begin with :/

That's your main problem. You don't have a legitimate judge for the events anyways.

I know its a problem.

But I don't have a solution. Judges don't really grow on trees for Naruto CCG in my area, the few people who do play would of course much rather play instead of judge.

I couldn't actually find anything in the Tournament Guidelines about only allowing one deck, but this comes from the Penalty Guidelines:

C. Deck (List) Errors

1. Illegal Deck List
a) This type of error occurs when a player has submitted an illegal
deck list. The deck list can be illegal for multiple reasons such as an
illegal number of cards, an illegal number of duplicates of a card,
incorrect information about the players, illegible deck list, banned or
restricted cards in the deck list.
(1) Solution:
(a) The player should be found and a deck check should be
performed. Once the discrepancies have been confirmed, the
deck list should be fixed to be correct and match the deck. If the
deck is legal then the deck list should be altered to match the
contents of the deck. If the deck is also illegal, the deck should
first be fixed to be legal and then the deck list should be fixed.
This will all count as 1 penalty under illegal deck list. If the side
deck does not have the required amount of cards in it, it is
illegal and cannot be used for the duration of the tournament.
(2) Penalty:
(a) (Basic) – Game Loss (If the error is self-caught before
the start of a game, the penalty can be downgraded to a
warning.)
17
(b) (Intermediate) – Game Loss (If the error is self-caught
before the start of the first round, the penalty can be
downgraded to a warning.)
(c) (Advanced) – Game Loss

2. Illegal Deck
a) This type of error occurs when a player has submitted a legal
deck lists but the deck, side deck, or reinforcement deck is illegal. This
happens if the deck doesn’t match the deck list. If the deck list is also
illegal then apply the Illegal Deck List Penalty.
(1) Solution:
(a) The player should be found and a deck check should be
performed. Once the discrepancies have been confirmed, the
deck should be fixed to match the deck list.
(2) Penalty:
(a) (Basic) – Game Loss (If the error is self-caught before
the start of a game, the penalty can be downgraded to a
warning.)
(b) (Intermediate) – Game Loss (If the error is self-caught
before the start of the first round, the penalty can be
downgraded to a warning.)
(c) (Advanced) – Game Loss

Since ALL decklists are submitted before you are entered into the tournament, it isn't possible to submit a different deck list later. If your deck doesn't match your deck list at any time during the tournament, you will be penalized for it.

Most Ninja Academy and Genin tournaments don't use decklists, but the policies don't change. If someone is known to be changing/editing their deck during a tournament, it's automatically a game loss and the deck must be corrected. It only gets worse from there.

This is the most accurate response.

In response to your question, it means I have to go through and approve your posts 1 at a time, and unapprove all the terrible spam that is there as well. Once you have 3 approved posts, you're free to post....freely.

You closed the other thread, so I'm going to post this here and hope you see it. Just as a suggestion for consideration, this forum should start doing what other forums do and offer a chance for members to change their usernames. The serebii forum has a period twice a year where they open a thread and members can post their request for a username change. As long as they post in the allotted time, the mods will change their user names.
