Welcome trainers to the VGC trainer schools first tournament series starting September 2026 for the 2027 season!

In an effort to bring about a higher value to our tournaments for a chance to win some actual money at the end we are introducing our first series in which trainers can earn something we call TSP (trainer school points)

Every single event from 1st to top 32 will earn points towards qualification for an end of year invitational event we call VGCTS worlds in which the most consistent and best trainers battle it out for the grand prize!

40 points will be required to qualify for the invitational. Note that this points structure will be the same regardless of the size of tournament. The points structure will go as follows

1st - 15 points 2nd - 10 points 3rd-4th - 7 points 5th-8th - 4 points 9th-16th - 2 points 17th-32nd - 1 point

Prizing and any other potential bonuses are TBA!

The rules are as follows:

The rules are as follows:

Standard VGC Regulation rules apply (depending on which regulation is standard at the time) Games to be played on switch or phone on champions, in a best of 3 setting 10 Minute check in for every round.

If you dont check in after 10 minutes its a set loss (Request a judge in limitless if you have any issues regarding no-shows)

Open teamsheets will be used, with no exceptions if you have a teamsheet error. (You must use the exact sets you have listed on your teamsheets, if a pokemon is wrong you will receive a game loss for any games that you used it in.)

PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL! - bad language, unsportsmanlike behaviour, insults, not complying with judge/organiser requests will not be tolerated!
