They're the TOs... the folks who run your events. They should have the heads up on everyone else.
Actually the PTO's are told first then latter the TO's are informed, then the players last.
This is a bad post. You gave no reasoning at all.
In a perfect world, we would both get the information early. TO's need to prepare, but so do players. Why hold back information from the players for no good reason?
What is the reason for giving the information to PTOs before players? Players need to know whether or not they want to travel to tournaments in advance just like PTOs need the info in order to prepare their events
PTO's need to schedule tournaments before players can plan to travel to them.
Does that mean PTO's deserve the information first? Maybe, maybe not. But they have to be a link in the chain before players, and if information flows down the chain, that makes sense.
You know, you've convinced me. Next time we will just keep our yaps shut until the official announcement.:thumb:
There's a reason I didn't quote anyone but GBA. My response was to his post, his comment about players planing travel. Context, fellows. If you're going to be as hostile towards good people as you have been in this thread, you may want to keep things in context, and take the time to understand the whole post. "Maybe, maybe not" is a pretty big part of mine.

I have this crazy notion that people should always make an effort to treat each other with respect and tact if they want to be taken seriously especially if they are angry. But hey, maybe that's just me.
I cant believe the stuff im reading in this thread. This isnt the same caring pokemon community i was in a couple years back. The guy helps us out by atleast telling us we arent traveling for no championship points this weekend, and you guys attack him like he did something wrong? He didnt have to do it, you should be thankful we arent in the dark completely.
I for one, dont really mind the changes to the battle roads at all. Mind you, i've never won a tournament undefeated. Ever. I consider myself mr. x-2 because im usually x-2. If anything this change hurts people like me who lose in swiss but make up for it in cut. I dont mind the change because i hate staying a couple extra hours at an event like a battle roads.
You guys have free tournaments(no other legitimate tcg has free tournaments) and a mostly friendly enviroment with very little vulgarity and theft. This is literally the cleanest TCG out of all of the ones on top. I dont mind you guys whining for information, but to ATTACK the dude that helps you is just plain disgusting. I hope some of you realize how ridiculous you're being and apologize to him. He's only helping you guys out.
my point still stands. Give the information to PTOs and players at the same time, there is no good reason for 1 party to get info before the other. Players need to plan on whether or not they want to go to certain events just as much as PTOs need to know how to plan them.
I've never been known to subscribe to "handling myself with a degree of decorum"
and I ain't startin' now!

I don't have time or the patience to carefully word what I'm really thinking/wanting to stay, so that I don't hurt somebody's sensitive feelings. Heh
