Let's just hope they keep it at no pass downs.

I agree, especially with a shorter time between Nats and Worlds.

I'd rather have pass downs due to the fact that about pretty much all the top 8 at Nats is top, not to mention Canada's Nats champ, and the fact that some World Top 4ers take invites.

 

[LoTad]

^ A problem with that is that the invitees would be notified much later.

Here is a list of the 2010 top 40, all of which received invites. I don't see Top-40 being any worse than T-25 with passdowns. I see it as better, you look at the list, your name is there, you have an invite, no guess work, no waiting.

I was under the impression that it has been top 25 for a while now but thanks for clearing that up for me lol Imo i would love to see top 40 get invites

 

[Scubadude]

Wow you need min of 1850 to make it in?

 

[espeon200]

Wow you need min of 1850 to make it in?

It might be higher this year, it might not. Really you just need to be one of the best players of the game and win lots of events to get an invite.

Yes, I can hide it no longer, I AM CAPTAIN OBVIOUS! :lol:

 

[Mama_Luigi]

If they did do passdowns this year, would it be likely they'd go back to top 25?
Because then I'd have no chance

So pretty much unless your at 1750 now you have no chance of getting in ?

 

[Prodigiosus]

Not true, you could be at like 1550 right now and go x-0 and States and Regionals and perform really well at Nationals and still come out with an invite.

Highly improbable? Yes. Is it possible? Yes.

Well im not going to afford to go to nats so i would have to make it in on just states and regionals and im only 1621 right now so no chance there

No that is incorrect. The big tournaments have yet to occur so though anyone with a high rating is in a good position the season is anything but over for new entrants. The longer you leave it before you join in then the harder it gets which is as it should be. The longer you leave it the more reliant you become on achieving that exceptional run, in every tournament someone is going to manage an exceptional run, but as each tournament passes the opportunities for the exceptional run reduce and the number of entrants stays much the same.

 

[MudkipPrime]

what i want is top 15 in canada
top 15 in USA
and 10 in MEXICO~

 

[sdrawkcab]

top15 in canada is ridiculous.....

in fact anything in canada would be pretty dumb as ontario has twice as many events as alberta and bc togeather, we'd need to sub divide it.....

if anything it'd be 30 5 5 or 25-10-5 us/mx/cdn

 

[Dual_Draw]

Why not make Canada/Mexico and US seperate, give CDN/MX top 10 and USA top 35-40.

becuase you didn't seem to think it mattered when some players in the US could attend 3 to 4 times as many events as most...deal with it.
