Yeah, let's do this. As one of the oldest if not the oldest collegiate competitive pokemon leagues in the country, the FSPL is down. I did want to address some of the points brought up in the topic as I have been a part of the environment you guys are talking about for quite some time...

You forgot me, Prof. Dogwood, and LeaderFSPL. LeaderFSPL is a PO name so I guess you don't have to include that as per your rules.

If you could add us to the list that would be great. The FSPL will be in attendance at nationals. The list at a minimum right now contains myself(Blades 3rd Orlando), JohnFSPL(2nd Athens), StephenFSPL(4th Orlando), and Prof. DogwoodFSPL. We should have more than that coming, but I'm not sure...

Yeah, haven't seen you since the ubers tourney. We will be going to nationals though this year which is pretty exciting.

Yeah, so no one I travel with likes to take pictures so I brought a camera this time to chronicle the journeys of the Florida State Pokemon League at the Athens VGC(kind of a war-picture-story). One of our guys took second making this season's total for FSPL loot: 3 trophies, 900 dollars in...

Just got my trophy in the mail.

Florida State Pokemon League will be there with fresh meat. BTdubs, I lost to the guy that won the Florida Tournament because he crit my garchomp in a sandstorm with lax incense, was arbitrarily handed third, then continued to beat the guy that won second in an unofficial bout afterwards. So...

Not really. Even though the location has moved both regionals still count as "Southeast". They just aren't doing it in the same place twice.

I don't know how well it would work. Because the matches are infrequent and there are so many new players coming in all the time there are problems that could result from this. How would they do it? If they made top seeds play unranked or poor players you could make some people fairly angry.

This is how the 3 guys from the FSPL did. For the record the guy that went 4-2 trained his team a day before the tournament using a 4th gen team.

I liked Swiss hella' more than the previous style and here's why. Better players will do better. Period. Let's take how I did for example. I got crit by the guy who ended up winning the tournament and it cost me my second match. In the regular VGC format, I would have driven X number of...

The Florida State Pokemon League begs to differ. I think a couple of reasons for the turn out waaas..... 1. The tournament was scheduled for Sunday. Prior VGC tourneys have been run on Saturday. I can only assume most of the people are coming from out of town and driving back late on Sunday...

I placed in 3rd with a 5-1 record and my other FSPL cohort placed 4th. The guy that won second with the same record lost to me when we played so it was like a moral second place. I only lost to the guy that won, and he got a lucky crit which kind of sucked. We will see you guys at Nats. Oh...

Yup

A small faction of the FSPL will be there. A lot of our guys dropped out though because of unprepared teams. I think we'll have between 4 and 6 guys.
