"The Pokémon Company stated that any action disrupting the game state, such as moving opponent's cards, can result in a loss. This includes incidents like dropping headphones on the game board, which was deemed a disruption by judges."
"Makani expressed frustration over the ruling, stating that he was told by judges that his action was 'dangerous' but was never informed that it was due to a game state disruption. He also mentioned not being allowed to appeal the decision."
Firestar73 lost a tournament win due to an unsportsmanlike pop-off, and The Pokémon Company confirmed it would not reverse this decision. The company referenced another player, Makani, who received a penalty for dropping his headphones, which disrupted the game state. The game state includes all active game elements, and any disruption can lead to penalties. Makani disputed the reasoning behind his penalty, claiming he was not informed it was due to game state disruption and was denied an appeal.
