Wow, what a GREAT day. I cannot thank the judges, staff and volunteers enough. Without you the events would not happen. To the parents and players - You are the BEST!!!

Finally to my good friend Mr. Cook - The biggest of the BIG DOGS still has a few tricks up his sleeve. You once again kept that that crown you have worn for so long. We have not given up in the Northwest though. We got so close this year we could taste it and that will just drive us harder next season. LET THE GAMES BEGIN...

According to my research (quickfacts.census.gov):

Texas Population: 23,904,380

Washington Population: 6,468,424 + Oregon Population: 3,747,455 = 10,215,879

Looking at Houston's population alone = 2,144,491

I'd say BDS wins with a largest percentage. :thumb:

Good job to BDS and his team, and Team Cook for this friendly competition!
 
If the sun had stayed away in Oregon we would have had 400 as well. Interesting how the weather affects different places in different ways. :biggrin:

Texas was missing several of its players due to school related activities, sports-related activities, or other activities..
 
VA Reg's had just at 200 or so total. About 122 MAs, Srs had enough for a T8 and JRs T4. (Thinking close to 50 and 30 for each).

Unofficially I hear that Eastern Canadian Regionals was somewhere around 153. If I calculated it properly, I think that's over 27% increase. Good numbers there. I hope Nats will be just as good.

Actually this is incorrect.

It was:

109 Masters
55 Seniors
46 Juniors

Now if you look at what is reported, it says:

109 Masters
56 Seniors
45 Juniors

However, one of the Juniors is for some reason showing as a Senior, gonna call tomorrow and have his birthdate corrected in his my pokemon account because his family has tried to get it changed and they have yet to change it. Since he won Michigan State and came in Second in Indiana the Juniors in those states haven't been getting credit for the matches.
 
I'll wait to post the final numbers until later in the week. Only 8 out of the 15 North American Regionals have been uploaded, and there are always POP ID snafus that need to be corrected.

What I can say, just from these initial numbers, is that a casual estimate of 30% growth from last year is pretty much right on the money overall. The Mountain West and North West Regionals skew the numbers just a touch, but they actually balance each other out.

Also, with those 8 reported, we've got at least 1200 players playing Pokemon in North America on a single day, and that's a VERY conservative estimate. Combine that with the almost 300 at St. Louis, and 200 at both the Dells and Indiana, and I shudder to think what Nationals in St. Louis will look like this year...
 
Ryan, you are going to have to start having more faith in me and my numbers.

St. Louis #3 from what it looks like...

A way to go to catch up to the "Big 2".

Just makes me push harder for next year.

Woot and Chaw for this Great Game!

The 1012 guaranteed seats at Nationals is starting to look like a pretty conservative number...
