From what I heard you should be able to get the Debuchocobo card from the man sitting on the bench outside the library in Balamb garden. Is this just a rumour or can anyone confirm it, because I've played him over and over again, it feels like 50 damn times, and he haven't used it in one single game.

Also, is there a set point in the game before which you can't start the CC quest? I'm not able to start it yet and I'm pretty sure I've won more than the double amount of games in Balamb than I did the last time I completed the game.
