The prize pool will be split down the following way.

1st - $180 2nd - $80 3rd/4th - $40 5th to 8th - $15

The rules are as follows:

Standard VGC Regulation H rules apply Games to be played on cart, in a best of 3 setting. 10 Minute check in for every round. Please check Serebii for what is allowed in reg H this WILL be checked and teams that don't confirm disqualified.

You lose game 1 after 10 minutes and game 2 after another 5 minutes. (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 mon is wrong you will receive a game loss for any games that you used it in.) You will also need to amend your mon to what is on your teamlist otherwise you cannot use it for the rest of the tour.

We are expecting this to run into two days so if you make top cut (based on 8 rounds of swiss will be 6-2 and better) please make sure you can commit to playing day 2 at the same time of 4.30pm BST as well.
