What is this event?

This event is FIRST EVER Celio's Network x PokeStats, also known as CelioStats, Event! This event will be played in the Standard Format (TEU-CRE) in a format similar to a League Cup with Swiss followed by a Top Cut.

How will this event work?

Once the event Starts, you will be paired in Best-of-One Swiss Rounds, the amount of which will be based on attendance (plan for 7 to 9), with a 25 Minute Match Timer. After Swiss Rounds have completed, a Best-of-Three Top Cut will be played with a 60 Minute Match Timer. The number of Swiss Rounds will be decided in accordance with the following table, provided in the Play! Pokémon Tournament Rules Handbook:

For each round, you will have exactly five minutes to Check-In before being given an automatic loss.

In this event, wins will be worth three match points, ties will be worth one match point, and losses will be worth zero match points. Intentional Draws will be allowed.

Top Cut for this event will be "asymmetrical," meaning that there will be a fixed Top Cut, but if there is anyone that would "bubble" out of Top Cut with a record of X-1-1 or better will also automatically make it into the Top Cut, giving bye(s) to the higher seeds as needed. In the event that we have 9 or more Swiss Rounds, the fixed record will be X-2 instead. In addition, we will deviate from the table provided above for Top Cut. If the Event has more than 100 players we will use a Top 16 instead of Top 8, but we will follow the same asymmetrical rules.

Prizing and Staff Compensation

Prizing will be based on the size of Top Cut, with all of the Top Cut, regardless of size, receiving prizes. All Prizing will be allocated in the form of Codes for the Pokémon TCG Online.

The Following is a Sample Prize Structure for a 16 Player Top Cut:

• 1st - 100 CRE
• 2nd - 80 CRE
• Top 4 - 50 CRE each
• Top 8 - 25 CRE each
• Top 16 - 15 CRE each

In addition, all Staff Members of this Event will be compensated in PTCGO codes. However, we will happily accept donations to expand the compensation for our Staff that help make our Event run smoothly! If you would like to donate, please contact @Zaya_Lee#4912 on Discord or @pokestatstcg on Twitter.
