Registration:

Registration will open 15 minutes prior to the tournament. You will be able to register for a tournament on the top floor of a Pokemon Centre, through the battle PC. The PC you need is the one on the right, which I am standing in front of in the picture below. You can also register for the tournament by clicking the PvP menu option (Masterball icon on the bottom right of your client).

Due to the popularity of the last tournament series we will not be allowing players who already have an invite to participate in the subsequent Qualifiers. This does not include RESERVE invite holders.

ok so staff opens 128 slots for a gulpin tourney but not when it actually matters?

Tournament series with a 64-man qualifier introduces a bit more exclusivity and allows for less RNG to take its toll against better players. Prior qualifier tournaments were only 32-man, so it's already one round longer to get an invite.

That mechanism would only introduce a faulty 'exclusivity' since registration does not at all discriminate the 'better' players from those otherwise. As a matter of fact, I know of 'better' players (e.g. Laz and Vector from my team alone) who were denied slots. So this lack contributes to an uncompetitive scenario just as much as RNG does (if not more) and reduces it to a game of chance or who can register faster.

That's why there are 8 qualifiers

Thought about giving them out all at once after week eight when we have all finalists tbh

I would advise against this unless @Darkshade is making them each week and you're just keeping them hidden.  

 

One of the reasons we didn't get the doubles series invite sigs was because ds got asked to do them all at once and they're just too time consuming for that to be plausible. 

 

tl;dr Churn them out week by week
