Say, did you win the New Jersey 2011 VGC?. I have this video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3QRtjm7PWs&feature=related
Sorry, if it's the wrong person.
Forgot to mention, if you encounter a greeting that says:
Recently, YOU seem USELESS,
That's probably me :P

No that wasn't me. That was fellow chodesmuggler ImperfectSpider. A lot of us chodesmugglers used the "<3Csmugs" Name for regionals/nationals/worlds.
Battling has started for those who are playing on a Japanese game.

Despite it QCing me again later on to hit my Abomasnow with Fire Blast, I somehow win by connecting with all my Blizzards in the Sandstorm. somehow their Metagross died to 2 Blizzards.

Battling in America starts tomorrow, right?
Why do the japs get a headstart? ._.

We start today. Pretty sure the event starts at Midnight JST, which is our afternoon.
Edit: I think I read wrong because I cannot find the post now on Serebii.
Edit2: Its in the first post of this thread:
Edit3: Basically that means (because it says JST in brackets), 4 PM UTC on March 22nd, for the rest of the world. That is... about now. So you should try playing.
It's currently 1:30 AM for them. I don't think I'm facing grade schoolers here. Also, I don't think grade schoolers have the tenacity to go with a Minimize Psych Up Store Power team, let alone using one at 1AM. >_>
EDIT: I'm at 5W - 2L, with 1543 and 0 D/Cs, and that's probably all the time I have to play at the moment until the "International" part of this tournament starts for real.
You'd be surprised. A lot of those younger children use stall teams. It is an entirely different mindset between North American elementary school children and Japanese/asian countries. But yes the time would say otherwise. I seem to recall a stall war between Shota and Santa in 2010 World Finals in Ubers of all things with Swagger Dialga's and Leech Seed stalling Cherrims.
Anyway,
I still say it should be open for everyone too based on the first post. They started it by Japanese time (midnight), which will give us an unusual start/finish time overseas. 1600 UTC is 11 AM EST / 8 AM PST (I believe).
Yeah, Japan's schedule for this tournament runs from Mar 22 12AM to Mar 26 11:59 PM, but on JST instead of UTC. So they start a few hours earlier than the rest, and also end a few hours earlier.
So far I've ran into mostly Goodstuffs teams, but also 1 Rain team, and 1 "Guard Share Minimize Psych Up Stored Power" team which took about 13 minutes to defeat and ended with me landing a CH Megahorn through +6 evade.

They aren't running differently. The time schedule for the event was posted in JST. Ours, for North American games, is still running currently. UTC 1600 is the morning (11/8 respectively) for North America.
You guys with North American games should try playing. I'm at work currently and cannot.
And I'm doing school. I'll try soon.
Fair enough. Try again sometime early afternoon. Additionally, Dozz, I see you're reading the thread. You should try entering from Europe.
Edit: Nevermind. The official rules document (the PDF) in English states UTC 00:00 Thursday, March 22nd. That will be this evening in North America, and ~midnight to early Thursday morning in Europe.

Rules said:
Yeh, I've just tried and it isn't open yet. It'll open at midnight here...
Just tried again, still won't let me in. I'm guessing it'll start in about 5 hours, since that's when registration opened last week.
