Default International Wi-Fi Tournament - 2012 Spring Friendly - WON BY JIVETIME

Quote:
Another exciting Global Battle Union Wi-Fi Competition is on the way!

Start training for the 2012 Spring Friendly, the latest Wi-Fi Competition that will put your battling skills to the test! The Spring Friendly is open to players around the world, with the exception of Japan and South Korea. To participate, all you need is a copy of Pokémon Black Version or Pokémon White Version and a Pokémon Trainer Club account. The regulations for the tournament are virtually identical to live Video Game Championships tournaments, as well as the 2012 International Challenge.

Registration for the 2012 Spring Friendly begins on the Pokémon Global Link at 0:00:00 UTC on Wednesday, May 2nd, and goes on until 23:59:00 UTC on Wednesday, May 9th, unless the player cap is met before then. Space is limited for the 2012 Spring Friendly, so be sure to register as soon as possible. The tournament commences at 0:00:00 UTC on Thursday, May 10th. You'll have until 23:59:00 UTC on Monday, May 14th, to win as many battles as you can!
This is the same deal as the International Wi-Fi Tournament from about a month ago, minus the Japanese and South Korean players. For anyone participating in the upcoming National tournaments, this will serve as an excellent opportunity to practice before the respective events!

I still don't understand why you guys get disconnected on so much. I only had like 2 disconnects in 150 matches.

You're just lucky, that's all. I don't get how that's possible though, considering I ended with 7 DCs out of 43 battles.

Despite the disconnects, it's still good practice for any live tournaments; ie. Nationals.

A bit sooner than expected. I suppose I'm not allowed to impulsively use my Japanese game for the tourney this time. Haven't been screwed by D/C yet, but who knows when that will change. Let's see if I can get past 7th place this time.

Looks like I'll have to scrap up a new team on short notice though.

Well, the Japanese have their nationals qualifying Wi-Fi tourney coming up, so they're kind of occupied. Not sure about the Korean players though.
