Has anyone posted a Juniors and Seniors finals video somewhere? I missed most of Juniors, but Seniors was amazing.
National Seniors match 1:

people still got away with using their hacks because the little anti-cheating device only checked for legit evs/ivs and correct movesets. i think its complete bs
I never played in a Pokemon Video Game Tourney Before
I mostly played with my friends and the TCG with my friends
I am hoping my Yugioh Team can start up a Pokemon bracnch soon and we start going to video game tourneys
Do you all have any advice for some one going to their first pokemon video game tourney
If they had used an online qualification test it might have helped. I think they kind of went by what happened last year and went a bit too far in the opposite direction.
Last year most of the people that qualified online never showed up, which was the case in LA (I was there as part of the staff). They ended up taking a lot of the people that were there for the random drawing to fill the 128 slots. If I remember right, they took all of the Juniors there and a good portion of the Seniors (I believe that the SR's weren't even a full 128). I don't know how NY was though, since LA was the first week (and kind of the test subject for the whole idea lol).
I am sure they will take a look at how it worked this year compared to last year and work for some kind of balance. Even more so now that Mike is running things for them.
Thanks Yoshi! i was wondering if anybody had Juniors videos.
Now if they want to increase the amount, they do not NEED to have the computer set-ups.
I can think of several solutions to the whole "Random 128 play" deal.
1-Increase the amount of tournaments. Make them State championships size, or even city championships size. Making it "Players responsibility" to bring a DS and game to play on. A TCG Player has to bring a deck,deck list,damage/status counters. Why not have a VG player bring their DS, Game, and Team List. And all that TPCi would have to send is the Hack-check device and prize support.
2-Remove the player cap. Period. this has to be the #1 complaint. If they make the DS, game, and Team list player responsibility and pair them using TOM and swiss rounds, they would not need the computer set-ups. or at least not until finals at the regionals/nationals/worlds.
doing both of these would, at least in my mind, make the VGC series more successful.
