I'm hoping the roads will be okay Tuesday morning. PokePop?
For those of us without our own personal aircraft, did you happen to look down and see if the roads were OK, or was it just the skies?

Please let me know how those punch-drink sleep deprived hooligans from Tennessee, Missouri, North Carolina and New Jersey do.

3 days of events was fun. I'm all Pokemoned-out now. Definitely a different experience than 2 events in one weekend. The metagame up in NJ is also really different.
Hotel was great. There was an arcade with a DDR machine. PokePop, you should have mentioned that too! :lol:
Props:
*Event staff taking a bigger-than-expected number of people and seating everyone.
*Event staff keeping their cool and staying friendly while getting the events started.
*Great hotel recommendation, especially due to the arcade w/DDR
*Minimal traffic enabling us to get to the Tues, Weds, and Thurs events on time despite leaving VA and our hotel late for all three
*Lots of hilarious quotes and situations, some after the fact. One guy saying, "I used to be good. Now I play decks like Tyranitar with 1 Uxie." :lol:
*The Weds event being in a mall.
*Meeting a lot of new people.
*Teaching a new kid how to play at the Thurs event--it was just like league! :lol:
*Wawa at the Tues event; Sesame Chicken at Flaming Wok at the Weds event.
*Hearing that Bergerac liked my deck
Slops:
*Getting lost from the Tues event to the hotel. GPS for the loss.
*Snow in the parking lots of the Tues and Thurs events.
*Extremely dirty tables at the Tues event. I've never thought I needed a playmat before then.
*NJ people (their license plates were NJ), not necessarily players, double-parking at the Thurs event :nonono:.
*Jughandles
*The Broccoli Chicken at the Flaming Wok at the Weds event.
*Bowling alley food service at the Thurs event. So disorganized. :nonono:

Curious about T4 from all events / attendance in specific divisions, if someone could post that, that would be awesome =)
New Jersey is the Jughandle State.
Although, it helps if they have actually plowed them!
That was you? You were amazing. You must run a league.

Great Job Pop...!!! I knew we would have low numbers for the first 2 being out of the
way...Statesboro - 45...Macon - 73....In the Atlanta area so far we have had 114 in
Newnan....97 in Franklin....117 in Roswell and 124 yesterday in Lawrenceville...
2 more days to go...
Last year 13 States Represented...This year so far 20 States Represented with some
of the Best Players in the Nation....!!!
How many were you able to get in with all the terrible weather...??
GrandDaddy:biggrin::thumb:
108 was our biggest day with 75 the final day.
We also were hurt by the weather on the first two days, but overall a 40% increase over the previous year that was spread over weekends. Also some travelers that we would have had for the entire week didn't come at all because they would have missed the first couple of days.
We're going to see if we can coordinate with other PTOs for next year to string more days together. Plus, if we don't get hit by a storm, I think we'll be knocking on your door for numbers.
