A New Season of Champions!
21 Nov, 2011 in Play! Pokémon
Thank you to all the players who participated in the Pokémon Autumn Regional Championships!
The Pokémon TCG and Video Game Autumn Regional Championships recently wrapped up, with players from all around North America arriving to give it their all. The new Regional Championships structure allows players to participate in both the Pokémon TCG and video game competitions. Players definitely took advantage of this new format, with some players winning both the Pokémon TCG and video game events for their divisions!
Both the Pokémon TCG and video game players were competing for a Travel Award to the U.S. National Championships in Indianapolis or the Canada National Championships in Toronto next summer. Additionally, the Champions and Runners-Up earned early-round byes at the National Championships. Competitors were also playing for Championship Points and cool Pokémon prizes!
The next stop for Pokémon TCG players is the City Championships. Video game players will resume tournament play with the Spring Regional Championships.
