*Travel Awards for Players 18 years and older consist of air travel for the winner and hotel accommodations. Travel Awards for Players under 18 years old consist of air travel for the winner plus a parent or guardian and hotel accommodations. Travel Awards do not stack. A player who qualifies for both a VG and TCG travel award will need to choose one Travel Award to claim, the second will be converted into a $1000 stipend. See Play! Pokémon Travel Awards for details and restrictions.
**Stipends will be awarded only to players who participate in at least one round of their Nationals Championships. Stipends do stack, so a player who earns both a VG and TCG stipend will receive both stipends as long as they participate in at least one round of either the VG or TCG National Championships. Stipends are not distributed on site; they are sent to recipients after participation has been confirmed.
***Travel Awards and Travel Stipends that are not collected by the player who earned them do not pass down to lower placements. Prizes are awarded to the top 100 TCG and top 64 VG players based on Championship Point Rankings for the combined US and Canada Rating Zone. They are not awarded individually to both countries.
