Pokémon TCG and video game side events will be taking place all three days at the US National Championships. Awesome prizes will be awarded to top players, including Wii U consoles, Nintendo 3DS systems, playmats, booster packs, and other awesome Pokémon products! All players are invited to participate; you do not have to be a Nationals competitor to play. Many players will earn prizes even if they are not among the top finishers. Note that an entry fee is required for some side events.
