in all fairness I think Adrian bubbled more times this year. I just whiffed.

He beat me at battle roads, so I think this is fair retribution?

Ahahaha, yeah, beating you at Battle Roads doesn't equal a beating at Nats. Just sayin' :smile:
 
VGC Trips and Invites (Masters):

1. Tony Cheung - Vancouver, BC area
2. Mike Papagianis - Saskatoon, SK

Only other people I know in top 8 were Jimmy Kwa (lost to Mike in Top 8) and Randy Kwa (lost to Tony in Top 8) from the Vancouver area.

Do you have Top 2 at least for Juniors and Seniors in VGC? More would be good too but definitely interested in those. What was the attendance for those? Last heard it was 51 for Masters.

Reuben Monroy was playing Empoleon.
 
Do you have Top 2 at least for Juniors and Seniors in VGC? More would be good too but definitely interested in those. What was the attendance for those? Last heard it was 51 for Masters.

We had exactly 100 people playing VGC overall. 3 more than regionals.
Not sure about the specific attendance for each age group
 
Congrats Mike! Was a pleasure playing you (I was your last opponent) on Saturday.

Grats to everyone else who placed well, and the staff for a fun tournament and a great day.
