I'm reading through the thread and keep coming across "goodstuff". Is this some sort of code name or does it just mean general strong pokémon?

Goodstuff is a bunch of Pokes thrown together that can wreck other teams. This pretty much refers to a team with no other theme (Rain, TR, Sun, etc), as well.
 
Just a question because I'm interested in doing this, has there been any info about where these are taking place in the US?

On the upside, even though I didn't win, on the bus ride home one of the guys who worked the KoP JAA event was on my bus, recognized me, and gave me his JAA Staff jacket since that was his last gig with Nintendo.

Oh nice! I wish I had one of those. I won a hat in the quiz. Nobody knew the answer to "What ways May's mom's name?" and I seen the episodes so many times haha, and I got it right. Anyway, I lost to a guy with a Selfdestruct Snorlax + Mewtwo lead. I never seen anything coming. I made it pretty far though.

I would suggest that you use Gengar with Explosion over Snorlax as it is immune to fake out and outspeeds most threats. Here's my suggested Gengar:

Gengar @ Choice Scarf
Mild 252 Sp Atk, the rest in speed and attack
-Explosion
-Shadow Ball
-Trick
-Thunderbolt

Trick is in case you're against Sandstorm/Hail and you have to sacrifice Smeargle.

I have heard from one person who was a judge person last year for showdown said that there has been talk of qualifiers being at Denver, my source is the guy who leaked the Reggigigas event, so he is reliable.

I leaked the regigigas event, and i was NOT a judge for VGS last year. here is the credible info for this statement.

On one of the first few pages of this thread i made an educated guess about my thoughts on where they where going to be:

So no, i did NOT say there has been talk of it, but i did post my thoughts on where they where going to be.
 
On the Official page it states that qualifiers will be held throughout the United States; if the stops in Japan are any indication of what is to come, we could actually expect that there will be at least one stop in every state.
 
lol a stop in Rhode Island or Montana.

I doubt a stop in every state or even half of the states. with JAA, there were a lot of stops that had a lot of open spots because people would enter and then not show up, or just not have a lot of people surrounding the stop, leaving the winners only out of 32 people or something. PUSA learned from their mistakes and only have the stops in a few states(like 4 or 6 from my guess) and allow more people in.

Wow, thanks for posting that Tsunami.

So, it's the United Kingdom, Germany and France chosen from Europe. I was expecting that to be honest, although I was also thinking the Netherlands and Spain would have a shout.

European players will use Diamond and Pearl instead. Hopefully I can get soem information on Platinum Tutor Move Trade-backs before the tournament. But at least we have no worry of the Pursuit glitch and 70% Hypnosis accuracy is a good thing :)

Hopefully I'll be able to make the UK qualifiers. Hopefully the UK will get 6 tournaments like the USA has..
 
Thanks for posting that, Tsunami.

On all of the confirmed events, bar the World Championships it's going to run like so:
Senior Registration: 8:30 - 9:30 A.M.
Junior Registration: 11:30 A.M - 12:30 P.M.

Which basically, means seniors first this time. Unless this is what happened last time? I doubt they'd make seniors wait out that time, but this is Nintendo..
