Nintendo have once again chosen to place their yearly United Kingdom VGC Qualifier in Birmingham, due to the success of last year. Birmingham being more central to the country than somewhere like London may be the reason for this, especially considering the amount of players they wish to sign (capping out at 1024 across the 3 divisions). Unlike last year, this year will see the Junior, Senior and Master divisions based upon the ages of the player. More information will be posted in this thread as it becomes available.

[tblakey89]

I intend to attend, I will be in the masters division. See you all there! GEC you're going down at the NEC!!!

 

[Pokérob]

Masters Division for me, not as experienced in this tier as last year's but you can be sure I'll be there to meet up with everyone again!

 

[Havak]

I am the Master.

 

[Wichu]

Masters, yeah! 1024 participants? Is that per division? At least we won't have problems with people being turned away again (hopefully) :)

 

[Havak]

Masters, yeah! 1024 participants? Is that per division? At least we won't have problems with people being turned away again (hopefully) :)

That'll probably be per tournament (though I hope it isn't). I'd imagine Juniors will be limited to 256, and then one of the other tournaments would get 512. It's hard to imagine which age division will get the highest allocation though..

 

[fitzy72]

Going this year. Going to attempt to force dogfish44 to also come.

 

[willj016]

Might Visit my first one of these this year. It'll only take an hour or so get there so it's not that bad.

 

[Hoyle]

I'm in for Masters. And hopefully I won't get lost this year.

 

[Osirus182]

I'll be there in the masters :)

 

[Cinaclov]

I'm in, Masters I suppose. Gotta defend my top 32 spot :P. Or just get as far as I can and have a good time, either is good with me ^_^

 

[Arcanite]

I hope to go (masters) but not being same weekend as TCG Nats is a problem...

 

[Joee!]

I'll be in Masters, this will be my first VGC I've attended too.

 

[peng]

I'll remember to set my alarm this year.

 

[Zog]

Reporting for duty!

Top 16 2009, Top 128 2010 and last round of the worlds LCQ. Eheh. I think I can do it this year though. And yeah I'm a Pokémon Master who also happens to be in the masters division.

 

[Kinneas]

I'm glad you've included a picture to help people find it, but do you have a copy of the directions in braille so Hoyle doesn't get lost again?

I will be attending and will be signing autographs and selling merchandise with my face on it after the event in order to cover the cost of travel (and I know how much you all want it). Predicting a gec, Kinneas, Havak, akira top 4 because we're the best.

 

[Gazooki]

I'll be going of course, still pissed that I missed out last year because I was too lazy to make a team. And this time I promise not to fuck anyone's EV training up.

 

[fitzy72]

Trololo gec. I'm masters not seniors

 

[tab]

yeah i'm a master

 

[Zog]

Predicting a Zog, Zog, Zog, Zog top 4 because he's the best.

Thanks Kin it's always good to know someone has faith in me, lol. But yeah this'll be great, just leave your unEVeds and choice items at home guys. If I have to fight any I might cry.

 

[Hoyle]

I'm glad you've included a picture to help people find it, but do you have a copy of the directions in braille so Hoyle doesn't get lost again?.

I'm already printing off a map. And while being lost last year I found Hall 8 so I'll be fine.

 

[IAmMarti]

Sign me up for masters..... *gulp* havent got the weekend off work yet but my boss is cool, im sure it will be fine.

 

[IAmMarti]

I was Top 64 last year in Birmingham too :)

 

[bharmalm]

im in seniors.

 

[keelhauled]

I think havak spelt my name wrong, it is spelt keelhauled not I 9.9

yere yere im going as a cheerleader and to win it because i am the best.
