Pokémon Organized Play Seasonal Format Change 

Effective: 9/1/2007 

In the interest of maintaining a healthy tournament environment, Pokémon Organized Play 

removes older sets from the Modified format at the beginning of each new tournament season. 

Each rotation challenges existing players to create new strategies while allowing new players to 

get into organized play with a minimum investment. 

The following Pokémon TCG sets will be removed from the Modified format for the 2007–2008 

tournament season: 

EX Deoxys     

EX Emerald    

EX Unseen Forces    

EX Delta Species    

EX Legend Maker    

EX Trainer Kit 2    

POP Series 2 Promo Cards    

POP Series 3 Promo Cards    

All Black Star Promo Cards numbered 036 and lower    

As this change does not take effect until the end of the current tournament season, the sets listed 

above will continue to be tournament legal through the 2007 Pokémon TCG World 

Championships. 

Due to the varied release schedule of the Pokémon TCG: Diamond & Pearl set, the Modified 

format will vary slightly from country to country until each market returns to a more unified 

release schedule. As new sets are released, Pokémon Organized Play will update the Modified 

format list on a country-by-country basis.
