Friendly reminder that Tapu Koko SM30 and Tapu Bulu-GX are both legal for this tournament.
Also I just saw that I said signup phase ends July 1st but I'm too lazy to go back and edit it.
I will be so happy when things settle back down, lol.
So forcing people to pay or they don't get to play in a "free" tournament?
The tournaments are free. As of this post there are fifty-four people who are in this tournament and haven't paid a dime. A subscription is absolutely not the cost of entry. It helps you secure a spot, true, but you will never be
required to subscribe in order to play.
Once again another way to force people to play or let people be disappointed by missing out. I don't see an issue with everyone getting to play the rewards for being sub are still good.
No not really because it was posted at 2:40am my time and so I woke up and registered straight away but was still late
I honestly don't care about prizes I'd just play for the fun and experience and making me pay $20 AUD just to play feels super rank. Sydney Regionals are $30 AUD and I get 9 rounds and a playmat plus it's an official tournament.
Anyway this is just my view of it all coming from an Australian. (Who is around in the evenings PDT/EDT to play)
These are all sort of related so I'll address them all at once.
I understand your frustration with living in an incompatible time zone. Knowing when the signups go up means little when it's in the middle of the night for you and all the Americans beat you to the punch.
The problem with time zones is that there is no perfect solution. PokeBeach is an American web site and we will always cater to North America first because that's where the overwhelming majority of our user base is. With that said, I want to give those brave Europeans and Australians who are willing to adhere to a North American schedule a chance to play, but the difference in time zones between the three countries is so great that
someone is gonna get the short end of the stick.
What if I asked for the tournaments to be posted at 12 PM PDT? That's afternoon for most of America, mid evening for Europe, and the crack of dawn for you guys. It's not a perfect solution, but it should give you a slightly better window to sign up. Plus, with a posting time set in stone, you will know exactly when to show up in order to have the best shot of making it in - all without having to spend money. I can have it implemented for July if it gets approved.
That's a whole month I miss just because subs deserve perks even though pretty much tripling their rewards plus giving 9th-16th isn't enough.
There should never be an overflow list. They've blatantly told me that they purposely want people to miss out every month which is just disgusting plus they dont care if people drop after round 1. To be honest this has put a massive sour taste in my mouth and puts me off ever joining and ever possibly subscribing.
If that's the attitude you're going to have just because you were 97th, good. The system isn't perfect, but it's damn good and frankly it's a lot better than some people deserve. I am always willing to help people out but when you come at me with a poor attitude when I'm trying to strike a compromise then I start losing sympathy for you. Your concerns are valid but you need to chill out. We don't have to have an overflow list, but we do so people
don't feel forced to buy a subscription just to play. You are right that subscribers
do get a lot of perks. I've lobbied for an increase in the player cap nearly every month since I've started hosting because I hate having to turn people away. As I said before, the interest isn't there. You want a 128-player tourney? Show me the interest. Turning away a dozen plus people is preferable to turning away fifty. I'm sure the 32 extra people who get to play now that the cap is 96 instead of 64 are real happy I pushed that change through because that's a huge number of people who get to play instead of having to wait.
Yes, waiting sucks. I'm sorry you barely missed the cut. But at least now you are guaranteed a spot in July's tournament (as long as you mention this in your signup post).
Now then. Signups are over. I will be posting in the pairings thread with important information and pairings for round one. Let's get started.
