Opinion: A Solution to the Kid Problem
Pikkdogs Hey everyone in Omar-nation. This is Pikkdogs here with an opinion article that analyzes an aspect of how tournaments are orgainized. I want to point out that I am not a tourney orgainizer or a judge, or anything like that. I don’t have the expierence that other people do, but I do have my expierence as a player. And that is what this article shall be based on.
First, before I get going I want to officially welcome Joel to the Teamomar.com staff. Joel is another Pokemon player in Michigan and I believe he runs a league in the area. He is a nice guy and a good Pokemon player, he should be a great addition to the staff. The only problem with Joel is his unhealthy obsession about Lady Gaga (the person no
t the deck). Gaga fan or not, we are very happy to have Joel writing for us. We thank Joel for writing and look forward to his future articles.

But, however this article is about a diversity that I think is causing more harm than good.
