Looking good, like that at least top 2 Masters are getting stipends...wish it were broken up a bit more to give 3-4 something to, but eh.

The bye chance at Regionals is nice too, will definitely be competing in that.
 
Top Cut for US Nationals expanded to Top 16. Pokemon US Nationals Page is updated.

Information regarding Championship Points and Worlds Invitations are still forthcoming.

I would like to point out that a 'Travel Award' for top 4 at Nationals should not be interpreted as a Worlds Invitation.

Thanks everyone for the feedback.

[DEL]But you get enough CP to get an invite.[/DEL]

Nevermind only first place gets the full 400 CP
 
What does "make the rankings" mean for earning the Custap berry? Is there a specific score we have to reach to earn it?
 
From what I have read (Serebii)-
It says "entrants" will receive the Catsup Berry.

I have not found anything yet that says only "top" ranking players only will receive it.
 
Well, in this thread it says "make the rankings"

And here it says "enter the rankings".

So It reads as if some sort of level of achievement is required beyond just entering
 
All players who are not disqualified (e.g. would not enter or "make" the rankings) will receive the Custap berry, regardless of placement.
 
@RB-
Serebii is the first spot I saw any of this, then on here- my mind simply put me to go back to the first place I saw this info-

On the link you provided RB, scroll down to the "About Rankings Details"- it says that you will need 10 wins/losses combined to be considered ranked.

Thanks for that link.


Also, ninja'd by AZ
 
"make the rankings" means you play at least 10 completed battles and you don't get disqualified for disconnecting or other reasons (like illegal Pokemon).

So...uh...hmm...would be kinda weird to get a travel award to worlds if you're not invited wouldn't it? Kinda sucky to grind in if you're like top 4 at Nats, though I'm sure probably you'll just need enough CP. But like you said, information will be coming soon about that. For now just making it to Nats is the goal lol.
 
Hi Chris, I won a bye during Regionals, am I already registered for U.S. Nationals or would I need to go through registration? Thanks!
 
So...any plans to address the DC problem in the future? Apparently the Cutsap Berry incentive wasn't enough based on some of the things I've read...

Is there a 2013 Team Information Sheet we can download??
Click to expand...
The last time team sheets were required were in 2010. Ever since the release of Black & White, you register your team for a tournament using the Battle Box function. Go to any Pokemon Center and access the PC > Amanita's PC (or Someone's PC depending on how far you are in the story) > Battle Box. Then deposit the 6 Pokemon you want to use.
