I do wish Moody was not allowed this year, but we'll see how that turns out. D:

The player display for Championship Points should launch near the end of the month. While we would like to have had this active and ready for Battle Roads, it just didn't happen. Once it's up, you'll most certainly be able to review what you've won, and where and report any errors you find.
We will be compiling the display data from the event reports we've already received, so we don't anticipate a lot of corrections needing to be made.
Thanks,

Your logic is faulty. Just because they are running 2 sets of regionals doesn't mean that the areas that normally had one will get 2. It only means that some will be run in one time of the year and the rest will be run at another. It only gives more opportunity to have larger regionals, not MORE regionals. Why aren't they keeping the prize support the same? They'll still have the same "90" winners as they had last year - but with more total attendance. If I weren't retired I know what I would think (right or wrong .... I have no idea. However .... I'd think ....), that this is only a ploy to get more attendance for less money, and that the bean counters would be able to see that they increased their holdings - even though it is an artificial increase. Hey don't get me wrong - larger attendance is great for the most part. Usually it equates to more fun (on the whole). However I don't see where the players should be penalized for having greater attendance.And so many people disappointed (or angry!) that P!P removed scholarships....
15 Regionals last year, with 2 recipients per age division. 15 * 3 * 2 = a total of 90 people in the entire program who benefitted from that, worth $112,500.
Given you wanted to add another Regionals to the calendar for other important reasons, what would you have done:
a) doubled the budget, so $225,000 total because you have twice as many Regionals now
b) halved the awards, so 1st place only gets $750 now and 2nd place gets $500
c) eliminate them altogether and use the money differently
Maybe (c) was the best option for right now.
(not sour grapes either....I'm speaking as a parent whose child did win scholarship money last season)
Players may use Pokémon with Hidden Abilities that have been officially released via Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version, the Pokémon Global Link, or an official event or promotion.
To be perfectly clear..
This states any Pokemon with a Hidden Ability officially released is legal, which would still include those currently only released in other markets. Is that correct?
Has it been decided whether the VGC tournaments will have team preview on?
Actually, the live event functionality is pretty darn robust on the backend. There are all sorts of flags that we can turn on and off, including team preview. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of it. Not saying it will definitely be used, but I do have the option. :wink:

Wait, Soul Dew isn't banned for VGC?
I'm going to guess the fact that it can breed and can be gotten off the GTS since it is possible to see a Zorua and Zoroark in game. That and the fact that it's not a "true event" Pokemon.
Question for LIESIK:
When the Championship Point display goes online...
@ M Liesik: If Soul Dew does become available in B/W, will that item be banned, or will the Lati twins be banned? Or is this too soon too ask?
Yeah, that was my mistake, the VGCs are going to be awesome this year!I was unaware that Soul Dew was available in BW without the use of an external device. If I've overlooked something, please let me know so that I can adjust accordingly.
Did they just cut thousands of dollars in regionals prizes?
