The tournament application includes a list of available promos for Local and District levels. As a host, I can only check one of those boxes. Samson is on the list, but I would not choose that one when there are newer, more useful promos that more players would want. Ultimately, the host chooses which promo they want sent.
Check with your host to see if they have other promos that they are willing to offer individually. The newer promos are usually easier to trade, so if one of my players would rather have a Samson, I would give them a Samson from my personal collection and put the new promo into my collection (as a swap). Not every host has enough promos to do this, so ask first.
