Are travel awards to just the top 100 Master players? The top 100 of all players? or the Top 100 of each age group?
(Below from Pokémon.com)

Changes to Tournament Prize Structure

Play! Pokémon will be increasing prize support in the TCG Masters Division to coincide with the change to entry fees. Masters Division booster pack prizes will be increased at City Championships level and above, and prizes will be given to more players lower in the finish order. Four additional World Championships Travel Awards will also be added to the U.S. National Championships Masters Division. On top of that, Tournament Organizers may choose to award additional prizes to one or more age divisions. Be sure to check the tournament listings for details!

Also new for 2014, U.S. National Championships Travel Awards and Travel Stipends will now be awarded to the top TCG performers in the season’s Championship Point rankings. Travel Awards and Travel Stipends will be awarded as follows, based on Championship Point rankings at the end of Spring Regionals:

1st–16th: Travel Award and a $300 Travel Stipend

17th–30th: $750 Travel Stipend

31st–60th: $500 Travel Stipend

61st–100th: $300 Travel Stipend
 
Does anyone know when the announce who gets Travel Stipends for Nationals? Does anyone know what hotel Pokemon puts you in if you get a Travel Award? Thanks in advance for your help.
 
I'm on Staff at Nationals this year, and I'll be staying at the Crowne Plaza (Union Station). So I presume that is where players would be staying too.

Considering that this is the same hotel they have put players in that last 2 years, I think it's a safe bet to say it'll be here again this year as well.
 
Ok so I have a couple of questions.....

First one is, will pokemon contact all of the people who are in the top 100? The cutoff has happened since spring regionals has happened, right? This brings me to my second question....

Second question, has the Ontario regional that happened last Sunday been uploaded to pokemon.com?

Both questions are fairly pertinent to me, as I am sitting in 98th in champ points at the moment, so any help is appreciated
 
Is the cut off officially closed? My son is currently 17th and can catch 16 with an LC win. An answer would be awesome if anybody knows. Thanks!!!!
 
Ok, so now that I know regionals is officially 100% over with does anyone know if the results for the Ontario regional have been posted to pokemon.com yet?
 
One last question....

The other thread says that this applies for US and Canada only. There is a Mexican player sitting at around 50th, while I am sitting now at 101st.....

Will this apply to me sinc this does not count Mexican players? The way I would figure is that I would be counted in 100th place since one of the players in the top 100 is not applicable to receive prizes.

Any help is greatly appreciated

It was stated that it was Top 100 in US/Canada. Mexico logically is not included, but official word ought to rollout sometime soon.
