Good luck smogoners, am looking forward to hearing how everybody does. Make sure to take lots of photos.
good luck ducks go kick ass and take nationals so you can take worlds
Slept through R1 but apparently we won unless we played each other, seven rounds
R2 TAY won, huy got lucked pretty good but won anyway apparently, donut lost imawario in another very pkmn match, think alaka said he got lucked too, skarm won. Donut Fish Alaka TTS are 1-1, Rory Skarm TAY Kongler(who evidently beat deagle R2) Duy dtrain 2-0, haven't talked to the people who aren't congregating with us
Edit for round 3: only duck fight I see is Rory vs Duy, Kongler on da big screen
Kongler wiins(3-0), caught chalkey losing on a big screen but not sure what his record is(edit 1-2), Huy 3-0, dtrain 2-1 skarm 3-0, mattj 2-1, still catching up with the rest
TTS 2-1, Fish 1-2, Donut 2-1, Rory 3-0, Duy 2-1, TAY 3-0
Round 4 update: No duck on duck this time
TAY(3-1) accidentally ran, really not sure why there isn't a warning message for that
Duy(2-2) got jobbed by icy wind misses
Kongler apparently lost to a crit (3-1)
Skarm(3-1) lost to badintent(4-0)
Rory lost(3-1), Batpig won(4-0), godudette is apparently 1-3 thanks to journalist research by tad
R5 update: skarm vs. deagle, fish vs. godudette :( alaka vs. donut
Fish(2-3) wins over godudette(1-4), Huy wins (5-0, clinch)
Skarm(3-2), Duy 3-2), TAY(3-2), kongler 4-1
Think donut 2-3
R6:

Cheers for the update Synre. Do you know how IPL is doing?
Garaluo, we won't know who 'wins' this until tomorrow. They only get to Top 16 today, then those Top 16 play tomorrow to determine the winner. All 16 get invites to Worlds, though. That's what I think happens, anyway.
Edit: Go Huy!
Huy 5-0, so strongth, oh so strongth.
So, thanks to Synre, I'll write up a sexy list of everyone's record so far so it's easier to skim through:
Huy (5-2)
DeagleBeagle (6-1)
BadIntent (4-0)
Kongler (5-2)
Rory (4-3)
Skarm (5-2)
Duy (5-2)
TAY (4-3)
Mattj (4-2)
Fish (4-3)
dtrain (3-3)
imawario (3-4)
TTS (5-2)
OmegaDonut (2-4)
Imperfectluck (3-3)
chalkey (2-4)
godudette (1-4)

Ipl is 2-3 on the matchup sheet, haven't run into him on the floor yet. Against donut, didn't even notice
And no, no friendship card here, matchups are computerized and record based. They were good about it yesterday, too, outside of a match containing a certain female pokemaster and I...
R6 continued: Kongler(5-1) got the win over Huy(5-1), it was a good game and both teams played hard
Skarm(4-2) over dtrain (3-3)
Rory (4-2) over imawario (3-3), both these guys have had really challenging draws
TTS, Tay, Mattj 4-2, Fish 3-3
Donut(2-4) lost to ipl (3-3) :(

Bravo Ducks! Wooo hooo Huy! Keep rockin it!
Aminimun of half of the players there are from Smogon/Skarmbliss so if the buddy card were allowed there may be only a select few people in the entire event you could play. It wouldn't be fair this deep in the event honestly. On a side note these updates make me cry since I couldn't go at all in the end. But rooting for Ryuzaki, Metabou, and Deagle anyway.
Skarm(4-2) vs Rory(4-2)
Huy(5-1) vs Deagle (5-1)

I know what you mean lol. I was really hoping to be able to go but couldnt get enough money. I will be going next year after reading all this though. And next year, you guys better be ready, cuz I'm going to be taking it all lol!
But Werecario, you went to Dallas, I missed it completely. And then I hear that all these players I am better than doing well. Deagle (5-1) is my teammate and I was helping him train yesterday. I have a near perfect record on Pokemon Online against TTS...it's just frustrating since I am on equal footing with or better than just about everyone playing today.
And I agree with human, that would be a fun battle. TTS and Ryuzaki would also be a fun battle since they currently are 1 and 2 on the VGC rankings. (Ryuzaki is 1, TTS is 2 for those that don't know)

Rory's ridiculous strength of schedule ended up not being so dumb after all.

Wait so it's Lee Deueul v.s. Len Deuel? and 2 brothers round 1, and possibly 2 brothers in round 3? Oh the sidestories involved...
