2007-2008 Modified Format

Effective: September 1, 2007
In the interest of maintaining a healthy tournament environment, Pokémon Organized Play removes older sets from the Modified format at the beginning of each new tournament season. Each rotation challenges existing players to create new strategies while allowing new players to get into organized play with a minimum investment.

The following Pokémon TCG sets will be removed from the Modified format for the 2007–2008 tournament season:
EX Deoxys
EX Emerald
EX Unseen Forces
EX Delta Species
EX Legend Maker
EX Trainer Kit 2
POP Series 2 Promo Cards
POP Series 3 Promo Cards
All Black Star Promo Cards numbered 036 and lower

Due to the varied release schedule of the Pokémon TCG: Diamond & Pearl set, the Modified format will vary slightly from country to country until each market returns to a more unified release schedule. As new sets are released, Pokémon Organized Play will update the Modified format list on a country-by-country basis.

In addition, future sets will become legal as they are released, per the Pokémon Organized Play Tournament Rules.

Cards from the following sets are legal in the Modified Format (EX Holon Phantoms onwards):

EX Holon Phantoms
EX Crystal Guardians
EX Dragon Frontiers
EX Power Keepers
Diamond & Pearl
POP Series 4 Promo Cards
POP Series 5 Promo Cards
All Black Star Promo Cards numbered 037 and higher
 
Lmao, I can guess why this huge cut-off. Diamond/Pearl cards. The D/P cards are so different from the Third Gen Gards, so I guess they want to get rid of the Third Gen cards faster so that the new rules aren't that too confusing... especially the Weakness and Resistance... =P
 
One thing i've been wondering but can't seem to find an answer. I resantly got a D/P promo. (On the botom right it says "DP04") Are the D/P promos legal yet? If not, then when will they be legal?
Here is a picture of the card. I know this card is a reprint of the one in DP1 so I know this one is legal. I'm mainly wondering about the other D/P promos.
 
You'd have to contact Organised Play about that, but yes, I'd safely say that's legal in America. :)

I cannot stress enough to anyone playing in tournaments in Europe, using DP cards - they're not legal until the set is released in early July. If you use them in a tournament without the permission of your tournament organiser, you will almost certainly be disqualified from the tournament. Of course, it depends entirely on your TO's ruling, but that's what POP is saying TOs should do.
