Yea that kind of seems the only reason. I am sure the guys from TPC will do something about it.

IMO, if people did more to get it around, ya know.. Put it in sigs, like me and Evan (?) and I believe Ultimatedra, and some other htings here and there. Or else we can just consider this a bust.
Im putting the petetion in my signature.... we need people to sign it!
You can just type in "VGC Petition," copy the link of the actual petition, hilight "VGC Petition" and click 'insert link (the little globe symbol)' and boom, it's hyperlinked. :)
Thanks for Sigging it, btw.
You will not get 1000 signatures, lol. You might get to 200 or, if you are really lucky, maybe 300. 1000 signatures is way too high for the amount of people here who actually care about the VGC and are willing to sign it. 500 would have been a more semi-realistic number to shoot for, though that is a very high number itself.
also lol vash thanks for saying that about the little globe symbol thing, I never knew how to do that. :P

Well, for me, the petition isn't even working. I get a blank page when I click "sign" for some reason. I wonder if other people have had that problem or if it's just me...
No problem, thanks for teaching me how to change it to the actual "VGC Petetion" rather than the link.
Also, we got 1 more signature! Woot!
Thats a good idea! Anyone with a laptop going to San Diego that can advertise the petetion?

I'm only asking this because I have no Idea, but does anybody have any idea of how many people are actually going to show up for worlds? I understand why lots of people would show up for the qualifiers because they all had a "chance" to play. If you noticed at Nationals though, the VGC (ooooooobviously not the TCG) turnout was lower than the rest (at least in my own estimation). My own personal deduction was that the decreased (or perceived decrease) in chance to play directly led to the decreased (or perceived decrease) in VGC attendance. It just seems like few people would have any incentive to show up and "watch" you know?
Does anyone from past Worlds/JAA Finals have any predictions?
I will be there. i have been there ever year sense 2004. It is fun to go there as there are random giveaways, artist/creator signings, exclusive download pokemon, and more. Again like it has been said many time before - it is mainly TCG based. The whole World championships was based on the TCG years ago, and it was not until recently that the VGC made it's way in. So for obvious reasons the TCG is going to be the largest of the 2 events going on, but give it a few years. this VGC thing is still very young and it will need a few more years to get to where it should be.
Hell, if you where at the world championships in 2004, when the world championships where new, the whole event was laggy. the rounds took forever, people where running in and out of the computer room. it was a mess, but in 2005 they really steped it up and now the TCG world championships are one of the best events of TCG history.

How many might YOU expect to spectate for the VGC?
VGC - Players + 200-300 max.
TCG - Players + 1,500-3,500
For the TCG, there is a last chance qualifier to play in the world championships and that boosts the attendance. VGC does not have an LCQ so the attendance will be much lower. And to top it off, most of the side events are TCG based, but i am sure that there will be some VGC side tournaments.

sorry to bump but...
I got my flight confirmation stuff emailed like a week ago but haven't received any "hotel confirmation" Is that supposed to be seperate, or do we just show up with our IDs to the hotel and they let us in (that doesn't sound realistic).
Just a question for those of you who have allready done this.

Yea I also only got my flight confirmations, no hotel confirmations, I dont think they give you them.
Yeah it seems hotel registration is already done or so and you don't have to hand in any written confirmation... otherwise they'd have prettily fucked up that whole thing .-.
Another interesting fact:
I wrote to Angela regarding the credit card or cash deposit for incidentals we have to submit and told her I don't have a credit card and I'm not willing to get myself one. The solution is this:
