What are the prizes for placing at the U.S Nationals? I was told the Top 4 get a free trip to Worlds in Hawaii. Is that true? And if so, is that the case for every age division?
What are the scholarship prizes for placing?

Thanks in advance.....

yeah it was a 3ds not a dsi my bad, and yeah i got one at nats last year, but i remember it being on the board they had in the middle of the room.
 
Does anyone remember or know what the head counts were for each division? I seem to remember there was over 800+ in Masters, but don't remember how many Juniors and Seniors.

Masters: 932
Seniors: 322
Juniors: 218

from last year, numbers may be a tad off, but those should suffice
 
932 Masters.....Unreal. I should expect the same turnout this year also then? Perhaps we'll break the 1000 barrier for Masters. That would be SICK!!
 
I fully expect our attendance to break 1000 in Masters this year. The game has been growing throughout the entire season in all areas I've played in. Should be pretty awesome.

1000 might be on the low end of the spectrum. Masters has been pretty consistently increasing by about 100-200 for the last 3-4 years...
 
Would the fact that you have to have a certain number of PLAY points to attend Nationals this year keep the attendence at a status quo and balance out?

Yes, it most certainly would. I'm anticipating a turnout of around 800-900 this year... Maybe Bullados is right and we'll see higher numbers, but I doubt it. At the very least, I think the Play! Point requirement would negate any increase we might otherwise see.
