You sign up at the tournament, the day of. They pull 128 names out of a hat or whatever method they decide to use. Since they do on-site signups, alternates are unnecessary.

I meant physical alternates such as parents and friends. They can signup with their names and you can claim that it's yours or make a substitution
 
In any case, I am annoyed that the closest one to both myself and Synre/Teifu is Philadelphia and that we likely wont be coming because of the random selection for competitors thing (at least myself for sure). What an awful way to host tournaments. I mean, lets have random players selected so that maybe the best battlers dont get chosen...sigh...
 
I'd like to go, i'm thinking that I might get there in time, because my school closes on May 23rd. Is there a site where i can see the rules and whatever?
 
Uh-oh, i had someone trade me a rotom and back to fill out the new sinnoh dex on my platinum. But i bet i wont get DQ'ed. Well, idk if the rotom was even hacked lol.
 
Heatran/Cresss EV?

Hi i'm new to competitive battling but I was thinking of entering this tourney, but i have question. For the teams that use Heatran and Cress, how do they EV train them? If i'm not mistaken they are LVL 50 when you catch them so even if you did battle enough low level pokamon to get all the EVs before lvl 51 you wouldn't actully get the stat bumbs until they level to 51.

The way i underestood it the game wont level them back down, so how does that all work.

Obviously there is something i'm missing.

When you have given heatran/zapdos/cress all the EV's needed before it levels up to 51, you deposit it into the box, save, restart, and when you pull it back out of the box, it will have the updated stats.
 
If I wasn't like 20 billion miles from here I'd go. xD My location sucks. I never get to go to anything, heck, TRU is 2 hours away. Anyways, I'd go if it wasnt so far, but I don't think its happening.
 
Pokemon Video Game Championships 2009-Nashville Tennesee *UPDATE*

I created this thread to also keep discussion about the tournament a bit more organized. I'll also keep a list of who is attending and update it somewhat regularly. Lets use this one to talk about Nashville specifically;announcing if you're going, coordinating carpools, and/or gathering beforehand

I'll start by saying even though im From NYC and it would be obvious that I should go the the event at philly, The odds of actually going all the way to get an invite to the nationals compells me to fly to Nashville for this one.

***UPDATE***
FYI official site states that you do not need to win regional tournament to attend nationals championships. *Source* http://origin.pokemonvgc.com/en/events/10.html

This can potentionally save alot of money and heartache. the downside is not having an absolute spot in the nationals and you have to pay to get there (Winning the regional guarantees a spot and travel accomodations by provided by POA)



Officially Going

What are your thoughts about this location??
What are your thoughts about going straight to nationals and skipping regionals??

Oh wow, there is a good chance I will be very close to Nashville on June doing an internship. I don't know if I would be able to go if it happens, probably not, but we'll see.
