Results from the Pokémon 2014 Italy National Championships
The final National Championships in Europe is over and quite a few players are letting out a sigh of relief as they cinch their Top 16 positions to ensure a trip to Washington, DC this August to participate in the 2014 Pokémon World Championships. We will soon have a post detailing the Championship Point totals so people can take a look at what players are guaranteed a spot at Worlds and who will be on the border fighting it out in the International Challenge. For now though, we look squarely at Italy where 280 Masters, 65 Seniors, and 20 to 30 Junior division players played for the title of National Champion.
For this event, a new format for determining the top cut was used. All players who had a record of 7-2 or higher moved onto the single elimination portion of the tournament. As there were 27 players above this threshold, the top five players were given byes into the Round of 16. This is similar to the format used in the Season 3 Nugget Bridge Major. Let us know what you think of this change in the comments!

Congrats to all the players who are qualified for Worlds after Italy, specially DaFlo and woopahking.
Guys my name is Michael Maneia not Manelo, lol… Btw it was a great challenge, this time I couldn’t make for the top cut but I’m happy, now I have to train harder for next season
Oh and I’m umberto pallini, Terrakhaos here 😉
Congrats on making top 4 Umberto
i’m michelangelo baudanza, 7th place
Hi! I’m Luigi and my surname is Orsi not Ors btw. It was a great tournament, hoping to do better next year 🙂
Amin Sulzer and Adrian Schwengebecher are German players but as far as I know, they are not active on nb. Their German nicknames are Ryujin (Amin) and Chess (Adrian).
Congrats to everyone. Congrats to Frank and Michael even if it was a shame seeing them one against the other on the first turn. Also, I’m pretty sure Frank’s surname is Benalcàzar. Sadly I couldn’t come on sunday, but I hope it was a fine top cut. Thanks to everyone that was there, it was pretty fun. I guess, see you next year!
My first vgc national and i peaked 18th. I’m really happy for this and I hope to run a better placement for the future. Good game to everyone.
DaFlo is really a beast
My man Adrian from Seniors played Kanga, Rotom-H, Aegislash, Gardevoir, Amoonguss, Garchomp
Wow I finally see my name here lol I’m Andrea Sala, 19th in masters 🙂
Lol, are we some kind of long lost parents? I’m Stefano Sala, didn’t do well at all but I got to meet Barry Anderson in the last game. I’m pretty curious about what you run on Raichu. I also found a lot of minor flaws in the team which I’m starting to correct, at least to do a better June International.
Finals
Grazie Arash!!
Just wanted to inform everybody that the CP from MIlan in the Masters distribution have been distributed.^^
That being said, I didn´t receive mine… A reason for the problem might be because I couldn´t find my Player ID card so the staff gave me a makeshift one. Is there any place I can go to or ask for help to claim hose CP? From what I could gather out of the Support descriptions, they don´t have a specific section for this and I don´t want to send it to the wrong one and just get some useless reply saying that that´s not their task. I just sent an e-mail from the “Ask a question”-section detailing my problem regardless with both Player IDs as proof that it was actually me, though.
Sorry if this question might seem a little dumb and redundant, but i´ve never been in this situation before and I can´t imagine that I´m the first one to whom this has happened and before I lose my invitation to Worlds (that I´m planning to attend, by the way^^) just because I wrote the wrong people, I´d rather ask a dumb question.
Submit a customer service ticket if the Championship Points are not reflected on a account.
All players need to use the same Player ID consistently otherwise the points will not link up correctly – this is not something that is handled for the players and it is the players responsibility to maintain an accurate account and use the correct Player ID at events.
Hey Alpha Zealot, trying to check the rankings on Pokémon.com but they’re not showing at all at the moment, when I try to search Europe & Africa CP’s it comes up nothing found and also on my Play Pokémon page where it did show what position we were in by country, zone etc it now shows none?
Is this still updating? and if so when will all the scores be live for us to view?
Just want to find out where my little boy is currently in Juniors for Europe and if he’s still in with a shout
Seeing the same issue – looking into it.
Juniors:
1. Luca Castelluccia
2. Lucie Aubert
3. Adam Balela
4. Alessio Di Francesco
5. Giovanni Tomasini
6. Thomas Gianola
7. Enzo Tigroudja
8. Jocelyn Aubert
Hmm with those results added, think that puts my son 15th in Europe, gonna be tight!!
