Last year you were not allowed to take notes during battle :(.
It never came up that I saw, but I've heard that people have tried and the workers told them to put it away.
If there's a particular battle you really want to remember, saving it as your Battle Video is probably your best bet. If you want to record more than one, though, you're kind of stuck.

You can't do anything like that during a battle. However, if you are trying to record stuff to write a war story you can write a bit of stuff down between battles. You won't have too much time, though. I personally wrote down my opponents team and the order they sent them out in. I just tried my best to reconstruct the battle from there.
It doesn't work in all situations, but I've been able to save at least one battle vid between each match in the past ('09, '10). Give it a shot. Just look for an unlocked signal very close to the roped off area and get that wifi signal in your DS before the rounds start.
It goes away if you shut off your DS, unfortunately.
That's my boi, VOODOO PIMP
Aww no I just remembered Huy broke the streak for winning DSs in a row. So lame.
Kind of irrelevant too actually but whatever lol I haven't got mine yet either and I'm leaving for sheep land in either 3 or 4 days it's one of those I can't add up right cause I'm not sure whether to count the day it's on or not eehhh I'm getting all confused even just typing this I think I'm going to go to bed lol.
If the post man's late with it I probably won't like him any more, but then again I didn't really like him anyway cause he always delivers stuff late at like 3 in the afternoon. It's just not right.

You'll know when the rules are announced. The forum goes nuts.
But as for worlds, it will be in Hawaii in August about the same time as this year. I don't know the exact dates though.
As for practicing, just play GBU on Pokemon Online and get yourself familiar with the Pokemon and potential VGC 2012 metagame. There really isn't much else to do now though but wait for the rules.
*Ahem*
Colorado for November
Arizona for April
Those are the only ones i know so far.
EDIT:
Ft. Wayne, IN - November 12
SoCal (Long Beach Convention Center) - November 12
My bad I'm on a shitty computer so i can't see much like pictures and such. Thankfully Arizona's is this April so that way I have more time practice my different teams.
How fast-paced is your usual VGC battle? In other words, how many turns is your typical match?
Also, is using the VGC tier on either PO or the Smogon server a reliable way to be fully knowledgeable of the VGCs? (I don't want to end up waiting forever for a match)

Most vgc battles are 5-8 turns(sometimes 10). So pretty fast paced
You can go on The skarmbliss PO server, where they only do vgc ruleset. Im sure you can test there.
