UK Battle Roads

[Blue Blur]

When are UK Battle Roads? Does anybody know?

 

[NoPoke]

April - May.

Organisers have unsurprisingly been focused upon the B&W events along with all the other games that they may have to fit in too.

 

[Blue Blur]

With it being near the end of April I was wondering about a specific timeframe for BRs?

 

[Freddy K.]

Dunstable had no Victory Medals

Has Dunstable been uploaded yet?

 

[NoPoke]

investigating.....

 

[Dark-Paladin-Duelist]

What's the format for our Battle Roads? B/W cards allowed and B/W rules in effect?

 

[Blue Blur]

Are the victory medals any different to the Autumn/Fall 2010 ones?

 

[Zarmakuizz]

Yes they are. The Typhlosion has another posture and the medal is gold instead of silver.

Any idea when Crawley BR will take place?

@Nnaann, Crawley Battle Roads will be held next Saturday, the 7th May.

[Rambo]

Thanks, some of the links where wrong, if not all, but I found my way to the proper ones.

 

[Blue Blur]

So, who has results from BRs then?

 

[Edderz]

@Blue Blur
Crawley - 7 May
Masters - Ian E - Gengar/Vileplume
Seniors - Sam B - ???
Juniors - Nicola M-C - Machamp/Vileplume

 

[Blue Blur]

Should have mentioned in my other post, but what was attendance like?

 

[NoPoke]

seniors Gengar/Vileplume

8 players total. No one wanted to play in a MD-B&W format it seems

Glasgow:

Masters:
1. Scott - Sable-lock
2. David - Dialgarvchomp (harr harr)
3. David - Mew-Rhyperior
4. Michael - Speed Machamp (SF)

Juniors and Seniors I didn't keep track of, but it was mainly a mishmash of league decks with basic strategy (that's how it is in Scotland). Though Seamus did win Seniors with a decent deck.

Surprisingly, 2 people used Sabledonk decks and did horribly badly (0-4 and 1-3), though they had atrocious luck (out of their 8 combined games, only had sableye starting 3 of them). Also turned out that the couple of reshiram/arceus decks managed to have too many basics out for them to do anything.

12 people turned up for masters - including some new folk from Berwick and Glasgow - which is a pretty large number considering past attendances. Saw a wide variety of decks including Arceus, Blastigatr, Reshiram/Emboar, Donphan/Machamp, Luxchomp and Sabledonk. It's definitely unrepresentative of the UK as a whole (I think) but it's great fun to play so many creative decks.

Have to say thanks to Gordon for running it, and giving prizes to those outside the top four despite not needing to.

Need to get more of you Englanders up to our events. Charles "Gengar" [Surname] was the only one we saw this season!

It's a shame, but it just isn't fun to play Pokemon in a MD-B&W format :frown:.

Surprisingly, 2 people used Sabledonk decks and did horribly badly (0-4 and 1-3), though they had atrocious luck (out of their 8 combined games, only had sableye starting 3 of them).

That's surprising that the Sabelock's didn't do well, but the odds of starting with a card in the opening hand that has 4 copies within the deck is about 40%, so 3 out of 8 games is about right.
