National Exhibition Centre [ Map ]
Hall 11, Birmingham NEC
Birmingham
B40 1NT
Tel: +44 (0)844 3388000

Masters Registration: 8:00 AM - 8:30 AM
Juniors / Seniors Registration: 12:30 PM - 1:00 PM

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. Like 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.

keelhauled · Dec 16th, 2011, 8:12:59 AM

zzz people might as well not turn up with 3 of the top 4 already decided

Plusle · Dec 16th, 2011, 8:35:07 AM

in for seniors

Baz Anderson · Dec 16th, 2011, 8:45:56 AM

I'll be waiting to go.

With registration opening at 08:00, what time would you people suggest getting there to ensure a spot? I don't know how many people try to compete in these things...

keelhauled · Dec 16th, 2011, 9:08:46 AM

Definitely be there around 5-6am to make sure you get a place.

IceArceus12 · Dec 16th, 2011, 9:48:27 AM

In for Seniors. Going to Win!

Hoyle · Dec 16th, 2011, 10:01:26 AM

Come on, third time lucky please. Obviously getting up early might be an issue. Might just not sleep and get high on sugar and caffeine.

Fantom0 · Dec 16th, 2011, 10:56:35 AM

Good, lie-in time for us Seniors. The date may be a problem given the distance, but I'm not going to miss my last year in Seniors.

bharmalm · Dec 16th, 2011, 11:25:49 AM

Not really looking forward to this, but i'll probably still be there. (Seniors)

Baz Anderson · Dec 16th, 2011, 11:32:35 AM

I live about a two hour drive away from Birmingham, so maybe I'll aim to get there at 6am-ish for the Master opening and drive through the night...

I've never been to one of these before, but hopefully it's all good fun.

Showsni · Dec 16th, 2011, 5:03:28 PM

I've improved every time I've attended (twice) so I'm guaranteed to do well this time, right?

Now I just need to think of a team... (I have no clue what to use.)

Lord Feraligatr · Dec 16th, 2011, 6:11:58 PM

WHAT KIND OF ATTITUTE IS THIS BCARALARM

Dozz · Dec 16th, 2011, 10:43:11 PM

I might show my face I guess. Mainly to admire Gec's fine haircut, and remind myself how small Kinneas is.

I could also put together some kind of team, but don't hold out on that too much.

Picollo · Dec 17th, 2011, 4:23:16 PM

50:50 in. just for fun , even though i lost R1 2010 , i like the convention and its a good start for this season. just the early date concerns me.

Zog · Dec 17th, 2011, 5:29:48 PM

Nahh I wouldn't worry about the R1 loss last time, wasn't your fault. God 2010 birmingham was an awful tournament for you and me too lol.

Lord Feraligatr · Dec 18th, 2011, 3:33:51 AM
