Masters: How many wins to grind in?

[atomant]

How many wins will be required to grind in?

Will P.O.P add more invite slots to the grinder like last year?

Does the grinder require a deck list? If so, where can I get the list?

 

[Mars]

Don't worry about how many wins as much as you want 0-1 losses.

 

[Jaeger]

Number of rounds will be based on turn out.

 

[TheDarkTwins]

What ever the number of rounds is take than number and minus one. That should be your goal. You should want to go atleast X-1. If you go X-2 you are more than likely to miss getting in, but I would tell you to keep playing just incase a X-2 makes it in, even if it is highly unlikely.

No two loss players grinded in last year, but in Hawaii 2 Masters with two losses grinded in. It just depnds on the ammount of players and the ammount of invites. Top 8 Masters grinded in the last two years.

Plan on going X-0 and you shouldn't have to worry about it.

Lol, all X-2's in Seniors made it in last year...

Lol, Masters has more a lot more players and much less invites up for grabs in the Grinder than Seniors.

Also, I think its worth noting that your losses have to be late in the tournament to have a hope of grinding in.

unless you're an x-2 trying to get in. its simple, if you lose early, you play all of the losers. if you end up having a loss round 6 7 you played people who were x-0 and x-1 late in the tournament and statistically your tie breakers should be good. but it depends on your early opponent as well.

Whats the standard amount of rounds? 5-1 sounds a whole lot easier than 7-1?

Last year it was 7. It may be able to hit 8 this year, but since POP did the "Swiss minus 1" rule, it would probably still be 7.

Or maybe it was 8. I'm not too sure. Plan on anywhere from 7-9.

 

[PokePockets]

I'm thinking this year X-1 or X-0, I don't think X-2's will make it, X-1's might even whiff

 

[The_Lurb]

It was eight last year. I'm expecting the same this year. Maybe one more.

It was 8, there were 4 masters from each pod that made it into worlds.

there were six masters.***

[Scizor]

It was not 8 last year, it was 12. How many times do people have to say it?

 

[drrty byl]

I bet they'll try to wrap all X-1s into the tournament to avoid endless graping. Or they'll pod the event such that no X-1s are left out.
