VGC 2010-Huge Let down:(

    Today in the UK is the VGC, so after waiting for a year, I finally get t the end of the queue to register. Then an official comes out and tells us they are only registering 250 people-those who had been there since 7:00am. There was NO info on the VGC site telling us only 250 would be allowed, that is the reason I turned up at the registration time. It is unfair that those who had been there since 7 get to register before us, when registration is at 11, not 7 in the morning. Even a family who had traveled from Northern Scotland to Birmingham-Middle England, got turned away. Atleast 1/2 of those who went to participate were turned away.
    The place where the Championships were being held was easily big enough for all of us, if it wasn't then there were 4 Massive empty exhibition centers next door! It may have been that there weren't enough of those special DS that you use t battle on, if this was the case why not let people use their own DS's!?

    If they knew lots of people would turn up then they should be better prepared.

    I'm just annoyed, if you know an email/contact where I can complain let me know,also let me know if this happend to you.
     
    Eeek, I'm glad I didn't commute to Birmingham for it. They said you needed HGSS an I have neither, so I gave up on going. It's awful that they did such things :( Poor family.
     
    I'm not entirely sure why they have such a low cap on competitors over in Europe. I'm going to the next VCG tournament in America this weekend, and the maximum number of competitors is supposed to be somewhere around 700+ if I heard correctly. :/
     
    Awww the poor family ! :(
    I'm glad I didn't come ! My mom would have rejected anyways, but to be so uncaring for a Pokemon-passionate family that came from SCOTLAND to ENGLAND for a Championship to get turned away ...
    That's just a bad behaviour from the officials ...
     
    I know man......... :(.............................
     
    lol 250? they must have run out of DS or something...
