oh right I forgot about the old Pojo copy. That is very weird as we have proof that there were 4 tournament dates… I’m really confused right now. I honestly have no idea how there could be 5 or more copies with only 4 tournament dates. They didn’t have any two day tournaments like the TMB and SSB had. Also, even the Japanese collector that proofed the number of Illustrators and published the magazine scans said there are 4 copies. Obviously we were all wrong and don’t know as much as we thought
EDIT: we already had this discussion:

scan of the Magazine:

scroll down to where Sataku replied and posted the above scan saying there are 4 copies in existence.
I guess it’s no use to re-translate the scan as he already knew all the Information on it. Seems like there were copies given out that we did not see any records of yet. the scan only Shows two Dates of tournaments. Maybe there were earlier or later dates of tournaments
