Worlds trips? Are you sure? I thought they they weren't giving them out this year.

Ooops I accidently copied from last years Regional Prize thing. I changed it to this years :rolleyes:
 
Are you doing a lunch break? Worried, because this looks like it could be a long affair if we decide to travel from Missouri (which I hope we will)

In any event - best of luck to all!

If we show up, just best of luck to us!! (LOL)

Thanks

Vince
 
Added Some door prizes above. Yes there will be a lunch break.

You have to see the one door prize above, the pictures are of the prototypes, the actual ones have a silver back and are 1GB
 
Also, anyone going to the regional, PLEASE, PLEASE take a shower/use deoderant before you come to the tourney.
 
Door Prizes

I wish I could go to this event, I think you must have the best door prizes in the history of pokemon!:smile:
 
OK Derek...how do you afford ANYTHING with door prizes like that?

Dude, must talk about sending me a Meganium one.....

Don't I get an auto-one for being a PTO and a Piglet Promoter?

Talk to you soon!

Vince
 
i think a no shower no pokemon policy should be institued to keep these events much cleaner and hygenic :)
 
Should the judges take showers? Nothing like a sweaty smelly judge standing over your game!

Don't worry, I will be fresh and clean before the event, considering I am staying there the whole weekend.

If anyone is in need of a shower, I volunteer my room for use!
 
I'll be there. The question is: intentionally concede the finals so I can play more than one regional?! Or win WITH EASE like I'm capable of doing? GOOD QUESTION!

Capable is the key word, just like the Seahawks were capable of winning the Super Bowl. :tongue: :biggrin:
 
Quick note: Registration ends at 11:30am, anyone who gets in line after that will not play the first round, no exceptions. We had people that arrived early waiting to register at both Indiana and Michigan States. Please register right away when you get there so we can get this tournament started as quickly as possible after the end of registration. Promos and pins are very limited so if you want one I suggest being in line early. I ran out in both Michigan and Indiana States and imagine I will run out early at this event also.
 
rooms are surprisingly cheap on-site ($52/night for the historic cabins) - ill have a room open most of friday night for playtesting.
