I feel like pokedad's posts are also insulting the accomplishments of the worlds champions.
Just making it that far is deserving enough imo.

how about if you win cities, states, top cut regionals as well as nationals, but your parents don't have the time/money to shuttle you around over half the country to play in multiple battle roads, cities and states and now cities having week long tournaments like chicago. That gives others a huge advantage. If you can travel alot or live in a big city to do marathons you have a huge advantage over those who can't.
More weight needs to be given in state regionals and nationals. Many of you and you know who you are outpointed many others who are just as if not even more deserving of an invite. You ran around at marathons and battle roads and cities with in a lot of cases small turn outs and very few skilled players and racked up a huge amout of points because you could afford to go, but come states regionals and nationals you either did not top cut or did but did not make top 4 8 or even 16.
new system idea.
Nationals 25 points 1st plus auto invite worlds
15 points 2nd auto worlds
10 points 3rd auto worlds
5 points 4th auto worlds
2 points 5th thru 8th
1 point 9th thru 16th
Regionals 15 points 1st
7 points 2nd
4 points 3rd
2 points 4th
1 point 5th thru 8th
states 10 points 1st
5 points 2nd
3 points 3rd
1 point 4th
cities 3 points 1st
1 point 2nd
battle roads 1 point
battle roads no top cut like pokemon said and only 1 point for the winner, no one else gets any.
That's a start ...

learn to comprehend what you read ... I said he won in the finals because of two misplays ... that is the truth ... and I don't look at countries, I look at players ...
:lol: Someone has some sour grapes if you didn't understand that was a joke.
WHY DOES THIS MATTER? :nonono:
CP is broke, this will fix it ... anyone else got a better idea?
Obviously Pokedad is Noonian Soong, and his son doesn't misplay.
Or use contractions while speaking.

Yes. You realize the rules arent gonna change to cater to your hopes of winning.
Pokedad1 how old are you? Because your acting even more childish than most of the juniors. Just because the system doesn't work for you or someone you didn't think should have won actually did win doesn't give you the right to act like a 2 year old throwing a tantrum. This is a game not life. Get over yourself.

Henry also went to, what, 30 cities?
As for the rest of this thread....pokedad1, I commend you-You have gone down in Pokegym history. You have managed to insult and undermine the accomplishments of all qualifiers for Worlds 2012 not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES.
You sir have a screwed up view of this game if you think you shouldn't have to PLAY to get an invite.

So with this system, your son would have 14 ish points.
Most definatly not enough to qualify by any system (both elo and cp)
As people have mentioned before, winning one cities, one states, and making top at Regionals and nationals isn't particularly hard, especially in seniors or juniors. I know have done that almost every year I have played (Except my first one), and I know I was most certainly not deserving of the invite back 2-3 years ago.

Would you like some cheese with that WHINE?
Every post that you have made on these forums, every single one, has been to bash, whine, complain, and otherwise make a nuisance of yourself. And I don't think you even realize it.
Your kid was not good enough to make Worlds. That's tough. I feel for him. But to come out and bash every single player at the World Championships is nothing aside from pathetic. It makes you look petty, juvenile, and simply idiotic.
Grow up.
You are old enough to have a kid of your own. Learn that the world does not cater to your every whim. You do not get everything that you want just because you want it. You have to go out and EARN it.
Your kid learned that lesson this year. He will try harder, compete better, and he will be in a better place to compete and perform well next year.
You obviously have never learned. Nor will you likely ever, given the attitude you have displayed on these boards.
The players at the World Championships are the absolute best players in the world. How do I know this? Pooka went sub-.500. Ness missed the cut. Chuck isn't even playing. These are the best players I've ever had the opportunity to compete against. And they couldn't Top Cut against this field.
As far as the misplay in the Finals? Your point? Players make mistakes. All players. It doesn't matter how good, how experienced they are. I've seen all of the best players in the world make massive mistakes at crucial moments.
Do you want to know what makes them the best players in the world? They don't blame ANYBODY ELSE for their failures, like you are doing. They take responsibility for their actions, they learn from them, and they grow from them.
If you want your kid to become one of the best players in the world, here's my advice for you.
Never, ever, EVER talk to him again.
Do not take part in any of his activities.
Leave the room when he's playing.
You are the worst influence this kid could possibly have.
Have the kid study the players in the videos, both on Top Cut and on the World Championship stage. They know how to play this game with honor, integrity, and spirit. Note that between every game of the VGC finals, Ray Rizzo shook the hand of his opponent. Note that every single player bowed their head to their opponent at one point or another. Look at the way they interact with each other.
And contrast that with how you are interacting with every single player both on these boards and in the World Championships.
Next time, before you start posting trash like this, take a moment, have your wife and your kid look it over, preferably multiple times, so that you may learn what it takes to converse with another human being.
Check my sig. I posted it last year. It's not exactly how I'd do it now, what with the removal of the Top Cut from BRs. Given that, I'd make BRs look like yours. But I don't think the others are too far off what they should be.
No Fair! You Stole My Line!!! :tongue:

I've run out of Thanks but . . . Bullados - that was an awesome post. Absolutely spot on and I hope pokedad1 has the sense to take it to heart.

Bullados, don't get me wrong - i get your point - many posters here feel the same way toward pokedad1. But if this guy is trolling don't feed him more. It says a lot that he already has 3 threads that discuss similar topics. But yes if this guy is serious he needs to realize he's just gone over the top.
The CP system isn't flawless but it is nicer then ELO.
It makes it so traveling to get more CP comes down to "who can travel" vs "can you keep your elo?".
Pokemon isn't MTG, and I know I reference MTG a lot. but MTG did announce their Pro Point system before Pokemon.
They do give out a lot more prize support even for lower events, none the less potential cash awards too.
Maybe in the future pokemon can talk about making a system where travel doesn't come down to it. The 3 regionals thing doesn't help.
But the CP/Pro Point system is something I really do enjoy over ELO.
