2010-2011 Modified format announced!

[Raikou Trainer]

Pokemon.com has announced that the Modified format for next season will be Majestic Dawn-on. The following sets will be rotated as of September 1st, 2010 and will no longer be allowed for tournament play:

Diamond & Pearl
Mysterious Treasures
Secret Wonders
Great Encounters
DP Trainer Kit
POP 6-9
Promos DP01-DP21

Remember that the Modified format is for official premier events like Battle Roads and City Championships.

EDIT: Two more things to add to this announcement-

* The 10% (6 card) foreign card rule will expire on September 1st as well. From then on, you cannot use Japanese cards AT ALL in official tournaments. I'm not 100% sure on other languages, though.

*You can still use cards from rotated sets if that card has been reprinted in a legal set.
Example: You can use Rare Candy from Great Encounters in a Modified deck because it was reprinted in HS-Unleashed.
