Results and Teams from the Pokémon 2014 South Africa National Championships
The first ever South African Nationals were held on the 15th of June. Disappointingly, the Masters division only featured 25 competitors but it was nevertheless a successful event. All of South Africa’s top players took part ensuring that at the very least, the eventual winner would be a worthy one. All battles were best of three and the format was four rounds of Swiss, followed by a Top Cut of eight. Five Nugget Bridge members competed on the day claiming three Top Cut spots, including the eventual winner and runner-up, as well as a bubble finish for Stephen Botha (SteveBaPanda) & a solid 11th for Dale Schwikkard (DalesHand). Below are the teams used in the Masters Division Top Cut and a first glimpse for most of the Pokémon community at the emerging South African VGC scene!
1. Gavin Jones (Jayhonas)
2. Johannes Botma (dotNinja)
3. Treven Govender
4. Nikola Radevic
5. Erika Steyn
6. Adnaan Emandien
7. Nikeel Gokul
8. Morné S (Acreland)

Wow, only 25 Masters 🙁

what has the world come to
There were 25 masters. ZOMG LESSE3R USED P0KEMON CUT!!1!!
Considering 4th place has 4 fairy weaknesses is shocking that it got top cut. That would not pass in the US.
25 masters and the teams are still better than Australias
I’m pretty sure that we will have a much larger turnout in 2015. Looking forward to it 😀
