VGC ’14 Championship Points Update: Fall Regionals
With the first set of Regional Championships of the season over, we’ve got a starting point for North American players to look and see where they stand. 5 events were held over the course of October in Pleasanton, CA; Phoenix, AZ; Houston, TX; Ft Wayne, IN; and Philadelphia, PA.
At the end of the season, the 16 top players in each age division will receive an invitation to play in the 2014 Pokemon World Championships in Washington, DC. The top four will receive a paid trip and invite. Additionally, the top 64 in each age division leading into the US National Championships will receive travel awards to the event depending on their rank.
Keep in mind that this year there is a best finish limit of 3 on Regionals this year. This means only a player’s top 3 finishes at a Regional Championship will count towards their Championship Point total.

Did I get into the championship points list in masters Division?
Shouldn’t Human and Cybertron have more CP because they made Top 8 and Top 4 at Worlds?
CP from Worlds is not added until after Nationals so as not to count towards the Nationals travel awards/stipends. Aaron’s CP will also not count towards a Worlds invite, though Enosh’s will. Both will count towards a Worlds trip.
Justin, 6th in Seniors, is Pandemonium on the NB forums, and also his name is spelled incorrectly in the database (not your fault). The spelling is the same as his brother, Cory Moeller-Fountain.
Hey im John Mazzeo (Masters) can you add my Nb name next to me? Thanks
Go CA!
DaFlo, you’re too kind.
Could someone give me the quick and dirty explanation of what the PP and Rating means and how they are calculated? I fully understand CP but those two stats are foreign to me.
I think I’m going to start naming my ingame rivals “BadIntnt” now.
PP = Play Points, they don’t count for anything other than additional goodies at the end of the season. (3 for a Regional, as well as 2013 Worlds)
Rating = A separate number than CP, used as a potential tiebreaker if two players have the same CP. Everyone starts off at 1600, you win points for beating someone at a tournament and lose points if you lose to them.
Player Rewards got cancelled so presumably PP doesn’t actually do anything now
also Rating is ELO if it wasn’t obvious
still hanging on to 12th place after all these months
Only reason I included PP was because it helps get an idea of how many events the player has attended (so towards their best finish limit).
Regional = 3 PP
Worlds = 3 PP
Local Sanctioned Events = 1 PP
I felt like I flunked a major exam, after the time I spent building my team and practicing day and night for the past year.
Don’t get discouraged. I have been there many, many times. Just don’t put all your eggs in one basket, and focus on other more important things too.
The important thing to remember is that it’s all about what you did on that specific day. I know a lot of people who are better players than what their regionals performances show. On average, they’re a lot better, but they just didn’t show up that particular day. Dust yourself off and head out to the next one.
I’m new to this and all and haven’t even been to a single live tournament yet but on the GBU, I have days where I hardly lose, days when I lose all the time and days when I turn impossible situations around but make simple mistakes to lose games. Like has been said, it’s live and (try to) learn really.
My points are getting transferred, it’s getting worked on atm
How come I am not on their? I am Ahmed Syed and I went to the Houston regionals…. I got 5th and I got 70 Championship points.
Dear… Firestorm, my name is Azam S. and my nugget bridge name is Awesomeazam, as it says. 😀 Thank You.
