Um, wow? So, the fact that some 7-2s miss the cut and others go onto WIN A TRIP TO WORLDS or cash because they had a computer decide whether they get in or not is fair? Yeah, ok.
Look, this is a game. If you get cut at 7-2 then get over it, it happens. It wouldn't have happened had the person got 8-1 right?
I would be grateful to get in at a 7-2 / would try my hardest next year to get 8-1 or 9-0 so I wouldn't have to have a computer decide. And even next year if I got 7-2 and got cut it would be
my fault for not doing better and getting 8-1 or 9-0.
I KNOW it's not easy at all [I'm not stupid, of course it's hard] but like I said, it's a game. The best of the day 9-0, 8-1 will have no worries. That's how competition goes. If there was a competition of 400 people to get as many basketballs into a hoop and were given 9 shots each then would I expect to get in missing 2 and making 7? Would I feel entitled to make it because I did good? Not at all. I'd congradulate the people that made 8 and 9. They did more than good, they did GREAT. They had better record for the day so they deserve it.

Your post is exactly as you say - you haven't been to Nationals. You don't know how it is. Nor do you have any idea who I am, so let me fill you in -- first of all I didn't miss at 7-2 and secondly, I won a free trip to Nationals. This isn't a sour grapes post. Get your facts straight before you start attacking people.
Umm... I really couldn't care less who you are... so... yea lol. I wasn't talking about
you, I was talking about in general. I have no reason to attack anybody, like I said, I do not care about Pokemon like that. I'm just trying to say that this is a competitive game.
Every 7-2 person that makes it should be happy and any that didn't shouldn't get mad because if this were a more competitive event then NONE of the 7-2 would make it.

Purple, it isn't that easy to win every game you play in, even if you are good. Lets take Bobby Malec for a instsnce: 2 T1 Skill Hacks. He was 33rd too.
I know it's not easy... I've gotten cut at events because of resistance before.
So PuRpLe, why dont you become good and X-1/ X-0 every tournament?
Um... cause I don't care. Don't care to go to league every week even though it'sjust 30 minutes away, don't care care to go to tournaments when they're 30 minutes away [and I could go to extra tourneys in other states that are like an 1-2 hours away], don't care to trade for deck cards... I just don't care. I top cutted before with rogue decks that I make 30 minutes before the tourney... and when I say rogue I mean
rogue with Masterballs, Greatballs, Oak and some other weird stuff with Pokemon most "serious" players would use for toilet paper [Ninetails ex, Camerupt ex, Jolteon ex, DX Manectric ex, DX Manectric with the bench damage, Raichu ex].
Many Poke friends have told me to resume playing and to come to league / events because if I "just try" I could do great and not just the regular good I do when I don't lift a finger. But no, I haven't played in months and gave all my Pokemon-ex and deck cards to my friends. That's just me. I know for a fact I can do awesome if I did care. I'm a slacker with POP.
I'm one of those kids in school that has all the potential in the world but doesn't use it. Lolz.
