It's not going to be in Portland this year?

[Articjedi]

It was supposed to be in Renton last year before Terry got suspended.

[HoennAsh]

I am happy that now it is in Washington. No more waking up early to drive down to Oregon for regionals. Now, I can wake up later. Hope this will be an excellent tournament!

[SlimeyGrimey]

hope I can be there to see muk/weezing win two straight years!

I agree...I get a better night's sleep in my bed at home rather than at a hotel, so having Regionals up here will be cool, considering that I plan on playing in regionals.

It's going to be a party up here!!!

You've had 2 years in a row.

[Pokeplayer]

This is a coordinated event between myself, David N, BDS and Jim B.

[pokeMATHter]

It is in the gym, not the student center, correct?

Wasn't it States in student center - Regionals in the gym


Yeah! Pokemon in the SWAMP! The GRCC gym is called "The Swamp" because our mascot is a 'gator.

[Pokeplayer]

States in Student Center...

Regionals in Gymnasium

Seriously, guys, he's right.

We need to combine our forces to make sure this thread always stays on the first page of thread listings.

[ToysRUsKid]

Ill be there :)

[Pokeplayer]

Regionals planning information has been sent to prospective staff and working PTOs...

I will keep you updated as data becomes available....

[brendan2236]

Just out of curiosity, does anybody know what the attendance was last year?

[Flaming_Spinach]

About 10 billion.









Or 123 (20/34/69).



Whichever.

[ADAM]

Why was Terry suspended, if I may ask?

[JandPDS]

Get your team together as the Team Play Championship will be held durring the swiss play portion of Regionals. And as no one will be unable to particpate from this event unlike Gym Challenge last year, there can be no one saying "my team would have won if I was playing in the event"

There is a distinct possibility that prizes may be donated this year to the winning teams so there could be something else in additon to the Championship certificate. More detailes to follow.

[ADAM]

Team play championship? I'm sorry, I've never done anything past states, so I'm a little new to this.
