Stage 1 judge here. You can absolutely use any abbreviation as long as it's straight forward and not a weird encoding. UB for Ultra Ball is fine. If that's the only ball in your list, ball is fine too. UB for Arceus would be an encoding, so that wouldn't be ok.

Just want to add some clarification. Although most judges realistically wont penalize you for it. This is what the rulebook states as far as not taking goes and what you write Pg. 45 - 5.8.7 Note Taking : Because a judge may ask to see a player’s notes while a match is in progress, the use of codes, ciphers, abbreviations, or any other method of obscuring the meaning of the information is not permitted. Additionally, notes taken by a player may not contain misinformation intended to deceive tournament staff. Should a judge request clarification, or a translation for notes written in a language not spoken by tournament staff, the player must oblige.

A better trick is to write down the prizes FIRST, then deal them out. This is just process of elimination….seriously though, the video was well done. Never heard that about shorthand in the notes before.

Bro no player is going to shark you and no judge is going to penalize you for using shorthand in your notes. Judges would probably prefer your deck search to be shorter which shorthand allows for. The only think people care for usually is that you have a clean page of notes

While you may be right, all it takes it 1 bad day for your whole tournament to be ruined. Whether it be an irate opponent or a super strict judge, it can happen. It's never safe to assume every person will react to a given situation in the same way. So for me personally, I would rather take the 1 extra second to write "ultra ball" vs "ub".

@@bestofthreetcg that extra time adds up, especially if you check all 6 prizes, all 3 games. As a judge said in the comments below there is no penalty for abbreviation, just for writing an alternative

There's nothing you could write in a notebook that a judge would have to read to arbitrate the rules. Not being allowed to shorthand Ultra Ball to UB is without justification. Games stink some times.

Coming from 25yrs of MTG, i don’t see the need of pokemon player to take notes: in MTG you are required to take mental notes of everything, from your cards to opponent’s hand if you see it, if they played the turn land or not, what cards they did play for sideboarding, possible answers the player may have in hand. I understand that pokemon is also played by kids but memorizing cards is a basic skill even in classic card games with italian or french cards

The main thing to take notes on is your 6 prize cards. Those are 6 cards taken out of your deck at the start of the game that you will not have access to until you knockout your opponent's Pokemon. So figuring out what those cards are can be very important as it affects your decision making throughout the game and can determine how passive or aggressive you need to play. The other big thing is if you're playing a control deck. Keeping track of your opponents resources can help you make the appropriate decisions from turn to turn as you establish a win condition. And typically, control decks in Pokemon don't take prizes too often. So those 6 cards and pretty much completely out of reach for you the entire game

Because Pokémon isn't as bloated as MTG, a lot of the skill comes from optimizing the flow of the game. You're more focused on optimization of the meta game and meta of the meta game rather than the game itself IMO. If the notes allow you to take less time in your 50 min round than needing to ruminate about what's prized or what's been played, it's definitely worth it. If this weren't tournament play focused and instead talking about kitchen table with Theme decks, I'd agree.
