Congrats, CalmSnivy, on taking 1st.
I wasn't able to show due to a week of overtime at work (damn you DCUO for going free-to-play) destroying my sleep cycle. I was waking up at 1:30 PM and going to bed at 5:30 AM. I live in San Diego, so the trip to Long Beach would have required some early morning driving that my sleepy self would not have been able to handle. My buddy also bailed on me, because "I won't win any matches and it won't be fun. The only reason why I would go, would be to make fun of kids." Yes, he's a class act.
My team was far from finished, so that also played a small factor. I am sad to see that only one person went 0-7-0. I hope that his love of the game was not shattered.
@Age, Less than 10 girls on a list of 76 people is quite disappointing. Where are the Pokégirls at?
