With Nationals nearby (and some already completed) it's always fun to see what happens with rankings and such.
The list is ordered -> Zone - Date of Nationals.

To all winners: congratulations and good luck at the finishing touch of the season-> Worlds.

I hope to get information about the winners of each Nationals who are receiving an Invite.
If you have any correct information about who won, just post it here.
Red Marked Nationals have the winners listed.
Purple Marked Nationals, I need info on those.
Green Marked Nationals, not played yet.

Thanks for a start, Lia. However, I have PH Nats information.

Philippines - March 30
MA1 - Lawrence G.
MA2 - Jigs O.
SR1 - McJhan Raven C.
SR2 - Daniel V.
JR1 - Gabriel E.
JR2 - Patricia L.

Ranilo R. who is currently ranked #1 for PH, right now #1 in AP, finished 3rd at Nats after going undefeated - lost in Top 4.

Ill be there once again to provide information for AU, NZ, and MY nationals.

Cheers.
 
Hi Lia!

One correction: The trips in Austria are also paid by Amigo (Austria has no trips paid by PUI).
 
The lack of distributor-paid invites this year is sad. :( Does this mean that all distributors in the World but Amigo decreased their amount of prizes for Nationals this year? >__<
 
Australia LD still support Australian Nats and dont think it will give out Travel awards to NZ...
 
What do you mean? It says here that Australia's travel awards are POP-sponsored, then says "Players outside of North America are encouraged to ask their local Organized Play provider if they will be sponsoring Travel Awards for qualified players who did not receive a POP-sponsored Travel Awards."

Yes they did according to the information on the go-pokemon website.
I already expected this to happen.
 
Eskil, you work for the Norwegian distributor, you can do something about this statistics!
Encourage them to pay all trips please (Even though I know you dont have the money :p, sorry)
 
I'm not saying all the distributors (but Amigo) are bad. I'm merely stating that the information posted here initially led me to believe that the number of travel awards from Nationals for INTL players this year would increase compared to last year, but that I now - as a member of the INTL Pokémon community - am disappointed to see that this wasn't how it turned out at all.
 
Well that's what I also was thinking, but on the go-pokemon website it's not mentioned that way.
I will correct it.

After going to the list I see that Austria now has a POP-paid travel. In the first list Austria didn´t have a POP-paid travel, so maybe they switched the status, so I´m not sure anymore if I´m right.

Ask Amigo for us, it's interesting to know what is going on.
Anyway, Germany has the best arrangements for this season (and also had them in the past years)
 
Amigo is so generous....


i wish i lived in Germany ;___;

So we're 2.

Our LD suck so badly, they still must send me:

XX GE Booster packs from 1st place on states (idk how many booster i should get for that)
1 Victory medal from 1st place on BR
4 GE booster packs from 1st place on BR also

And also, due to some problems with imported stuff, our nats has some serious chances of be HP-SW. AWFUL :thumb:
 
Thanks for keeping track of this Lia, I had no idea some countries already had Nationals!

I was wondering, why did the LD in Slovenia decide to pay for the first place trip for the Juniors? It's not on the website. I think it's a good thing, but why the Juniors?
