Noticed somebody tied with Andykin’s for top 16. Sure would suck to be that guy.
I am really mad that there’s a matty and a matteo. You better be one of those Matty. I give up on usernames. Let me know if you’re one of those people in Top 16.
Hopefully by next year Nationals will be held over Wi-Fi as well

Congrats JiveTime.
You saved the NA ratings from the clutches of darkness.
Well… unless you were using a Smeargle as well. Then the NA Top 3 is definitely pitch black.
Which one of you guys had the pleasure of feeling a fraction of my unmeasurable pain?
I was in the top 5000 so I am happy with myself. GJ top 16
If you count top 4, it’s even darker than
I’m going to kill you.
Looks like I finished with 1779 but I’m not on top16 europe according to the table… 😮
#9 in US !!!!!
Great to see so many of us finish well! Congrats to everyone.
It’s good to see names I recognize from this forum! Good job guys! Hopefully next year I can hang and place top 16. Still have lots of practice!
I got 93rd. Broke 1700 barrier and gave up. I was at a wedding for the weekend and that hotel wifi handed me four losses that were guaranteed wins lol
Can’t seem to log in right now, but I’m probably not too high. Broke 1700s going 18-2 the first day and then caught a stomach virus that made me feel like doing nothing for the next two. Congrats to everyone in the top though!
Did anyone get CP yet? My account is all US but the capture DS I played the tourney on is set to Anguilla. I had a high enough ranking to get into the top 60 in the US, but instead I’m listed as 1st in Anguilla.
I placed somewhere in the 30’s in the US. Aaron Zheng destroyed me in the last match of the night….. Does anybody know when and where we can get the enigma berry?
Fixed.
I only placed 4th in Australia for juniors but i would of done better if i had more time to battle (Regionals took up most of my weekend)
EDIT: 227 in the world
Pfft, 27 in Brazil, 2840 in the World. In June, I swear I’ll be top 1000 wordlwide and I’ll fight for top 3 in Brazil.
I was under the impression that though the juniors and seniors were mixed, the junior division would be awarded CP separately from the seniors. Is this not the case?
No, you’re right. Juniors and Seniors will receive CP based on their rank in their own age division.
Will the rank for exclusively juniors be posted? I’m curious to see how my son did compared to other juniors. On global link it shows his ranking amongst all 2,600 players. I’m pretty sure that number is both juniors and seniors.
3rd EU, at 42-16. Bring on Manchester!
I know this was asked above but nobody answered…
But how does one claim the Enigma Berry for participating in the competition?
Came about 960th. Worse than I’ve done in the past, but I’m pretty pleased given I only had a few hours to play across the whole weekend, and of my five friends who played, only one ranked higher than me.
hey does anyone know how to get the europe ranking as a whole on pgl it seems u can only do countries
1634 pts, 1,241 in the world, 51st in the UK. Considering I did most of my matches Sunday afternoon right up until the deadline (just worked out I did 41 of them in one sitting, with a win/loss ratio of about a third), I’m happy with that. What’s interesting is that the top players are about 100 points below other places in the world in the UK rankings; If I had managed to stick to the low 1700’s that I had reached at one point I would’ve been in the top 20 (whereas the USA that’d just about be top 100, and with my score my rank would’ve been close to 300 over there. I know there’s a significant population size difference, but still, it’s interesting to me; you’re a bigger fish if you’re in a smaller pond
).
I’m quite happy with my results. 1732 rating was 245th worldwide, 42nd (if I counted correctly) in Europe and 10th in the UK. Considering I had work commitments on the last two days, I’m reasonably satisfied in being able to get 41 battles in (30-11) and getting some much-needed practice in with the team.
Congrats to those who broke 1800s, deservedly so!
I’m in Top 16 <.<
