Join us at Atomic Planet Comics for our Gym Leader Challenge Weekly League. At APC, we are following the model implemented at Full Grip Games (in Akron, OH). the cradle of the Gym Leader Challenge format. When a player wins a Gym Leader Challenge event at APC, they are rewarded with a personalized Trainer Card which is marked with the type they won with and posted on the GLC leader board located in the play area. Each time that player wins with a different type, it is marked on their Trainer Card with a badge (sticker). Players are not rewarded for winning with the same type twice in a season. The season starts on 4/25/25, and it ends on 4/24/26, skipping weeks falling on holidays. Please check with the store to make sure an event will be held on any particular week. The player who has won with the most different types at the end of the season will win the title of Gym Leader Challenge League Champion. In the case of a tie, a best of seven conquest finals will be arranged to determine the winner. As a reward for their efforts, the overall winner will receive a booster box of the most recent Pokémon TCG set (based on availability). The registration cost for the event is $6.00, and the top 3 players of the evening will be rewarded with store credit (based on attendance). The goal of hosting a Gym Leader Challenge League Championship series is to give local players a sense of community and something to strive for while competing throughout the year. By encouraging players to try different decks, league goers will challenge themselves and try strategies they may not have otherwise considered. For many players, earning a League Card is a huge accomplishment and something that is worth playing for. In order to be respectful of everyone’s time, we will play 3 rounds (a fourth round will be played if time permits, or if we have 9 players or more). We will play 40-minute rounds plus 3 turn extension as needed. For rules details please visit: https://gymleaderchallenge.com/rules.
