I know right? I'm still baffled by the low amount of resources that go into the PTCGO, and how one of THE videogame companies has been struggling for what, 2 years now to produce something 'decent'?
Hey Mike, will this apply to Houston Regionals as well?
"If there are 227+ players in an age group then there is the 2 day format. Using last years masters number, we would run 9 rounds of Swiss on Saturday. Then either the top 32 or the players with 21 points (whichever is greater) will play...
I believe TPCi also overlooked another key element in their formulas for the new CP structure, the fact that Mexico and Canada are also part of the 'North America' region, rather than just the US.
No surprise nothing got changed for Mexico, and we still don't get Regionals. 500 CP's and visa requirements will mean very few qualified mexicans, but not like anybody cares.
So far this year, TPCi has unbanned a cheater with video evidence, and not banned a pair of thieves. To say this is disappointing would be an understatement.
The prestigiousness comes from the name: WORLD Championship. The INTERNATIONAL atmosphere. Only the US care about USA Nats, like each country cares about theirs and that's it. Any Nations Nationals will NEVER replace or attain the prestigiousness of Worlds.
LOL, it's like TPCi kicks Mexico in the nuts with every update!
- 9 dates for Regionals? Mexico gets none.
- 400 CP requirement makes it so you need an unrealistic season to qualify? Well not it's 500.
- CC Marathons? Mexico gets none.
Too bad nobody cares. 10 season since Nintendo took...
