Just a question, how long will the States normally be? Me and my my friend had to drop from Cities because my parents didn't want to hang around.
How long are they usually?

assume one hour per round in masters. so five hours for the swiss rounds, then a top 8 for a further three/four hours. Add in some time for a food break and if you make the finals you can expect it to have been 10 hours since the start of the tournament.

Juniors and Seniors should be less.

Any more details available for Manchester?

Pokemon.com is down atm so not sure if it's on there yet.

Thanks

Manchester has recently sanctioned their event. As with all premiere events the USA has to approve the event before it shows up in the event locator sometime on Tuesday.
