Please join the discord server https://discord.gg/dzHvwQ5 as it is required in order to play in the tournament.

You must check in to the tournament in order to play, with check in starting 1 hour before the tournament begins, and closes when the tournament starts. You must also check in to each individual match (with a 10 minute timer).

If your opponent fails to check in, please call a judge, this will likely result in you being given the set win. If your opponent makes a team sheet error, please call a judge, this will likely result in you being given a game win. The person who made the team sheet error must then ensure to inform all of their future opponents of the error.

All matches will be played on the Nintendo Switch in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet using VGC Regulation D rules, with best of 3 matches and open team sheet. When selecting the rules in game, please select Official Rules 1. A Nintendo Switch Online membership is required to play.

The number of swiss rounds is not fixed until the tournament starts, and will depend on what we believe is best for the number of participants to ensure a fair competition. All players with 2 or fewer losses will make top cut.

This tournament will award Tournament Points, contributing towards a qualification in the PBF Invitational. More information can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VOb-05jxR89ruvVPBQTN8QbxLma71nAbf5QT1WydEs0/edit?usp=sharing
