@ciaran_tcg @TCG_Aneil I am honored to recieve the Shift Gear Fan of the Year Award. l look forward to winning it again next year. The Shift Gear podcast is inspirational and helps me to prep for all my events. I value the knowledge it has given me as well as the random yap.
On gentlemen’s agreements: We’ve had conversations with our kids about when these situations can come up, the pros, the cons, but it’s not something we encourage. In the three years Kenji has played, he has entered into a gentlemen’s agreement three times. We usually find out after the match. In this case, with Beckett and Kenji, we had a feeling when we saw the handshake beginning of game three and was completely surprised by it. After the match concluded, Beckett with no hesitation, honored that agreement and gave Kenji the win. A sincere thank you to Beckett and his family, @JoshuaLeeWarner for handling the situation with such grace and support. In our time of competitive Pokémon, we’ve heard many unfortunate stories about gentlemen’s agreements in masters, but have yet to hear of a junior backing out of one. While we don’t promote these agreements, we are incredibly proud of these kids for honoring their word and showing respect to their opponents. There’s something powerful in that something even the older divisions can learn from: integrity matters. Great work, Juniors. And truly once again…thank you, Beckett. Also, thank you to Prince and Annabelle.
