your right, i probably am...why? Because it's not hard to tell the same thing when we both speak the truth

Look, I banned Socal people for some of the same stuff going on here. If you have something that adds to the discussion on either end, then by all means post your opinion. If you have nothing to say but something to attack someone, namely Phantom as well as one or two others, then sthu.
I won`t beat around the bush here. Either discuss things rationally and do not spam, or you can earn yourself a nice boot where the sun don`t shine outta here. Straight and to the point.
You have been warned. No more warnings from here on out. Just bans.

Same can be said about the ones complaining, look on the Ohio PTO loss posts and they are the same, same people attacking me and my staff about this tournament. Someone is still blaiming me for it, just a new way to attack me. Nothing here about the tournament really matters, nothing affected the outcome, and if your so worried about time ask the head judge. If you had such a big problem with it and it was so OBVIOUS to everyone, then how come nobody asked for me or stopped me and told me about it? The reason is simple, its unjustified and just the only thing they could think of to complain about that couldn't be proven and a select group that wants to attack me can complain about together. Of course all the judges are gonna say the time was the same, they all had clocks saying what time it was. All judges had timers, all the runners didn't.
If your complaining of not having a break after 5 hours you better never get a job, I work 7-8 hours before I get one almost every day. We took a break for the top players. The 10 and under and 11-14 had an hour break. When the event starts close to lunch there is no reason for a break. Food was available for the first 4 rounds for purchase that the hotel was selling. I have never seen anyone complain about $1 for a hotdog, $1 for pop and $0.50 for chips in my life.
This is my last post on the subject. Its just attacks on myself, my judges, my staff, and anyone that doesn't want to attack us over nothing. Seriously people its just Pokemon. Now I know why in Japan everyone over the age of 18 can't play. :nonono:

why i fell? i told the judge, let me fall out of the chair....he paralyzed me 3 straight turns with under 5 minutes left, any one of the turns, i had him killed to go up by 1 prize to win the game, so when he paralyzed me 3 turns in a row to win, i said, here, i'm gonna fall, gg, and fell....I am very happy making T8 in my first large 15+ competition, especially with the likes of AJ, Moss, Seena, and others...But i could've beaten him and made the T4, which i would've been sooooooo happy with....But T8 is easily as great for my first 15+ large competition.....

Although I'm not given exclusive rights and knowledge about Japanese Pokemon, so I might be wrong here, but I look on the Battle Road Spring section of the official Japanese website all the time, and it lists winners for the Master division (ie ages 18+). So Your comment in its context isn't exactly correct.
Please refrain from implying such things, though. We all know that the trip removal for 15+ is what KILLED the game in the United States, and led it down its worst days in OP, _despite_ having its greatest successes when it came to game fun and quality (Ne-on was definitely the best format). I know the 15+ is on a short leash, that is fine if we are acting up, but if the 15+'s collar is too tight, it will choke and die.

Ok I will respond to this, just because nobody is attacking anyone. I only know that at Japanese Nationals this was the case. I really have no idea what the normal is over there. I just know that in Japanese Nationals held at Worlds the players were all under 18. Dave could probably shed some light on this, but probably should do it in another post.
I have nothing against 15+, its just they seem to be the ones that complain a lot, thats all. Not sure what we would do if we lost them, they are over half the attendance at most tournaments.

Yes it mostly was the people that are friends of the Gillettes defending them. HOWEVER, if you look at the thread and the petition. There are many people from many parts of the country that signed it. People that really didn't know them.
I TRIED to find you to talk about it, couldn't find you. I did however talk to Rich about the timing thing. Ajay and I both did actually. My mom spoke to Schwimmer about it, he was totally obvlivious to the fact of it, didn't even look into it. Funny how he blew that off but took interest in the rumor about the Gillettes selling food. If they all had clocks then why didn't they look at them when I asked? Why did they say oh just under five minutes then the friggen timer is called for the round right after? Why was I told close to 10 minutes then someone, I cannot remember who made a THREE MINUTE time call over the speakers. You keep saying the time thing didn't happen, but there are quite a few saying otherwise. Actually telling a player there is 10 minutes left when there is really 3, makes a HUGE different. Toward the end of the game players either A). Tend to play a little slower if they're winning or B). Tend to play as fast as possible if it's close to go up on the prizes. It TOTALLY affects the outcome of things.
I didn't look at the prices, nor did I go out there. I didn't have a problem not eating actually. HOWEVER it was just discussed in a topic that no food or dinner break was a PROBLEM for people (I believe in grandmajoners post about best 2/3) because they have to eat real meals at a certain time. HOLY CRAP could this fall in the same catagory. Normally there is a lunch break at most tournaments I've been to at 2-3 when we started at 10-11ish. I'm aware you've not really done lunch breaks lately. However there are people that do need to eat, people that get sick from not eating. The hot dogs and Nachos were fine for snacks but for a real meal, there was no time really for that for the older group. The 11-14 and 10- did get it but the older did not. I don't think anyone there had that problem, but it realistically COULD happen.
I am not meaning to attack you, your staff, or anyone. I am voicing my opinion on the tournament. With exception of the time thing which DID HAPPEN even though you seem to insist it didn't, I did have fun. I enjoyed being with my friends and everything. What do you mean people over the age of 18 in Japan can't play? Don't they have the master division 18+?

Exactly. Voicing opinions are fine. Anyone that flames or just outright slams someone is against the rules as well as disrespectful and will be dealt with. This site is to be enjoyed by all and not to have people attacking each other even if we have a difference of opinion. I really do not want to ban people or lock this thread, but if members conveniently forget to abide by the rules that they agreed to when they signed up here, well then, I will not hesitate to show the way out...
Let`s respect every member here, even if you disagree with them.

For the eating thing - you can eat between rounds. There was a person selling nachos and hot dogs just feet away from the tourney and vending machines a couple floors up. If you can't get away from the site, pay one of the parents to run down there and get the food for you. There was a Subway within a couple minutes walking - I'd gladly take $3-5 to walk a couple of blocks and get some food for someone.
The timer thing could've been better - I believe that there should be a large timer which everyone can see. 10 minutes to 3 minutes in 15 seconds changes the game completely.
There was no other problems with the judges - they didn't blow any calls that I know of, they were respectful. My only thing was that the tournament ran a little too slowly (which should've given you PLENTY of time to eat anyways)
One more thing - these tourneys are FREE. In other TCGs you have to pay $15-25 just to enter and have poor prizes. I payed a little under $200 for the cards in my deck and got $2000+ worth in prizes? Not too shabby.

The majority of my games went to time or close to time. I really wasn't hungry until later. I wasn't complaining about that for me but for the people that did have issues with it.
You're totally right tho, going from 10 minutes left in a game to 3 minutes completely changes it. That's what I've been trying to get through. That TOTALLY changed my game. It was very close game, I have no hard feelings towards the players that it happened with. It was NOT their fault. I had no ruling issues either, they were quite efficient at that withexception of a little lack of speed a few times. My main issue was the time thing. That REALLY played a part in my games. Had I known on my turn I had really 3 minutes left not 10 I would have played a little faster and not thought it out so much to try and get my next turn.

Im here to help Prof. Dav out.....
You guys have to understand that Dav would never directly yell at anyone for something minimal like this, its not something to get all evil on.....there are certain legal issues that are at play, for whatever reason, POP would be held responsible if something happened (food poisoning, etc) to anyone partcipating in the event, especially all the young kids. Parents and/or guardians would hold POP responsible for not taking some action and not prevent people from selling food, which I see was the best step to take from Prof. Dav's point of view, making sure everyone was safe, that the event would be run smoothly, etc. The time issue, I can't really comment on, since I wasn't there, I wish I knew exactly what was going on......
See ya
