Rounds/To make Cut

[dragonfire]

I am wondering how many rounds are there for each division?
Also what does your record need to be with and without the 1st/2nd round byes to make top cut?

Assuming Nationals?

Depends on attendance. Last year it was
8 Rds Top 32 Juniors
9 Rds Top 64 Seniors
9 Rds Top 128 Masters (2 Flights, Top 64 in each flight made cut)

With byes, assuming they count 100% Resistance, going X-3 you have a better shot than you would without byes, but it's still not 100%. X-2 should ensure cut.

Edit-Thanks Diaz; wasn't sure

Last year Swiss only had 9 rounds for masters.

Thanks, i'm a senior with a 1st round bye, so 7-2 would ensure cut, and 6-3 would be a probable thing i guess.

Durant

Hi guys,
Here in Brasil dont have the dark explores set yet!!!!!
So the National Championships is only a ND format!!!!!

Durant is a good deck choice for national?

 

[dragonfire]

Honestly, I would say if you can not get anything else Durant is a good play. Landorus/Terrakion is probably the overall best play though!

I think 11 6-3's cut last year....

Thanks, Piplup!

If you have a bye then you should make cut as a 6-3 except for really weird situations.

6-3 made the top 64, but only a few. My friend went 6-3 and was 65th lol

 

[dragonfire]

lol that really sucks!! I have a bye so im just hoping for at least a 6-3 so i can make tops!

 

[King Piplup]

One Bye may or may not make it....all depends on how many players we have. (I'll have numbers on stuff like that/how many of X-3 will cut on Sat Night)

Simple answer here guys, play your best and should not have to worry about it...

 

[kidwithhat]

i have 2 byes, so would 4 loses work or either way be out of the question?

No way. 4 losses won't cut.

Source:Going 5-4 with total randomness.dec last year with 60+ Opp Win%.

Disagree. Simple probability dictates that you should lose at least one game during a tournament no matter how talented you are at playing. I know people love to say this sort of "if you're good enough you'll make it" thing, but this information/predicting is extremely valuable, especially when it comes to selecting a deck.

Piplup:
Way more than 11 6-3's made it into Top 64. I seeded in 45th and I was 6-3, and there were plenty of 6-3's ahead of me.

Ok; my memory isn't perfect. That's good news at least.

 

[jhaze]

Yeah because I went 7-2 (seniors) and I had the lowest resistence so I was the last 7-2 to make cut and I was about 31st seed or so.

 

[NJ_Bob]

Would juniors ever go to top 64, or do they limit them to that many rounds?

Do some junior 5-3 with bye make it, or is it all 6-2?
