It is a standard rule that you can't play with marked cards unless they are sleeved.
however, what is the rule dealing with TeP? Even in sleeves the cards bend/warp. I can't get them flat enough. I have put weight on them to try and flatten them back out, but it's not working. I don't think it's fair that I can't use a lot of cards that I've bought, but they can be considered marked. Anybody can tell which 8 cards in my deck are TeP.
what is the ruling on this?
-
Bend the other cards. ;)
To be honest, I'm not sure what judges will do. You could double up if using dragon shields, e.g. for non-TexP cards just add one of the white inserts and for TexP add another TexP back-to-back. That should give them the same thickness and straighten out the TexP at the same time.
-
Basically, you do the best that you can, and I don't know of any judge who would penalize you for it.

At the T2 only Tim was checking in decks, we announced the pairings, then Tim said that everyone was disqualified except for Andrew (His treasures were the flatest) We all laughed and started playing.

its fairly easy to make all the texp cards straight...just stick them in something that will force them that way...such as a thick book, or in a deck case full of cards.

once they bend, it's not as easy as you think. I've put a lot of weight on mine for 3 days now and they've not straightened out yet.
-
i dunno...maybe you should try longer than 3 days. i shoved all of the ones i used into a deck box full of cards and checked on them about two weeks later, and now they're all perfectly straight.

I'm not sure that I understand what the big deal is. If I have a card that has a corner ripped off in my deck, then I will know that card is coming as I draw. If I have a bunch of warped TexP cards in my deck, then I will know that one of them is coming as I draw. If that is such a huge advantage, then I think we are overreacting.
If the concern is somehow forcing an advantageous "shuffle," then a better answer would be to require certain shuffling methods.

I believe that the concern about marked cards lies not with an advantageous shuffle as much as it does with being able to force the cut.
-
Then the host can make everyone turn their head away when they cut, and they have three seconds. No-look quick cuts, woo-hoo! ;D
-
It would be much easier--and consistent with previous rulings--to simply ban any decks using bowed TexP. ;)
-
How about No-look Quick Cuts while wearing gloves?
-
I still prefer the ban-hammer. But then again I bought one of these (http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_475_475), so I might be biased.
Less than $1600 to have the only tournament legal TexP? Seems like a deal to me. ;D

I suppose this will make it easier to bring to tournaments:
"Comes with winch kit mounted on the press to assist with the movement of the bed."

Winch? Winch?!? That's not what I thought it said. >:(

Just use an old clamp, that should do it.

I really want to add this one to my "fav" thread, but it's probably not a good idea. :-X

That definitely would not be tournament legal.
