Worlds Invite Structure, Sweet New Pokemon TCG Blog, and Contest

Pokemon TCG World Championships 2010 LogoWorlds Invite Structure

First of all, the Worlds invite structure was finally released a few days ago. You can check out all the specifics here.

Not many paid trips are being given out, so I think it’s going to be difficult for people that receive unpaid invites to make it to Hawaii. I know if I were somehow able to earn a rating invite, I’d have to swim to Hawaii. I think that’s probably going to be the case for most people, especially with the recession going on right now.

Sweet New Pokemon TCG Blog

Just giving everyone the heads up about a new (well, new for me at least) Pokemon Trading Card Game blog you can follow…Team Omar. They’ve got really good deck analysis and deck lists on almost every post. Definitely give it a read and leave them some comments.

Contest

I should be getting some HeartGold & SoulSilver cards to give away sometime this week. I don’t know what the contest will be yet though…if you have any creative suggestions, feel free to share them with me.

    Yeah, the invite structure sucks… I can’t remember what it was before anyway, but it really should be changed. Right now, the only way I could win a sponsored trip is winning Nats.
    I looked at the map just now, and it seems that it’d actually be a shorter distance if I walk through Russia and swim to Hawaii from the east coast. Maybe visit Japan?

    And btw Ed, I actually stumbled on Omar via the link in your name…

    Yeah, the amount of paid invites is incredibly small…I guess that’s why they boosted the amount of regular invites, haha. They knew that there would many less people willing to shell out their own money to travel, so they have to offer more invites to compensate. Hey, at least if you end up getting the invite but can’t go, you can at least say, “Well, I got the invite.” That’s cool in itself…I guess.

    It’s a pity that Greece gets no invites once again, even non-paid.
    Teleporting to Hawaii seems to be the only working solution for me, I just have to invent a teleporter. Oh well…

    So i’m going to have to work especially hard because i have only attended one tournament this season due to the fact that i have 2 jobs and attend college full time. I will definately hit every battle roads and state/region/nat. I’m going to work as hard as i can. Because i dont want to have to pay for the trip to Worlds. That would cut into my european trip finds. Good luck all.

    Hey Michael, you can only win a trip if you get top 4 at Nationals, so you don’t need to go to every single tournament to try and get a rating invite. I know my only chance of actually going is if I top 4 at Nationals.

    • http://www.myspace.com/michaelmasacre Michael Scot Masacre

      Phew! Good deal, thanks for the heads up man, I appreciate it I was starting to get worried lol I have been really busy so I was hoping I would be able to make all the tournaments but now I feel much better. Thanks Adam for saving the day!

  • absolution

    I’m going to worlds no matter if i don’t get the invite, i’m at 14 global right now 1779+, so im confident about it, it’s pretty dificult to top cut at México Nationals, ranking invite seems the option to me, if not i’ll LCQ again and rock!
    hope to see lot of 6p people at hawaii!!

    I am impressed with your complete understanding of the subject. Thanks.

    It’s my opinion that every house should have a home gym, even if it’s a humble one

    Exercise should be prioritized more than it has been up to this point.
