This is a FREE event! This is a Swiss style tournament and will have 4+ rounds. The check-in code will be generated on 04/18/20 at 12:00 PM, and then check-in will close for tournament start at 3:30 PM. Please try to be available at tournament start so we can move through the rounds as quickly as possible.

Pre-Register your Pokemon (must be done BEFORE tournament start): https://silph.gg/t/e22y
NOTE: You do NOT need a check-in code to pre-register. The check-in code is for checking in when the event starts.

• Competitors will bring a team of 6 Pokemon (and register them before the tournament begins). All battle parties used must be comprised of these 6 Pokemon.
• Matches are played in Great League: only Pokemon under 1500 CP are permitted in the Cup.
• Master the Regions: Rather than selecting a team from restricted types, competitors will build their team based on the region Pokemon are originally from:
• Step 1: Pick one Pokemon from each of the following regions:
• Kanto
• Johto
• Hoenn
• Sinnoh
• Unova/Alola/Galar/Other (Includes Meltan)
• There are no restrictions or bans on these first 5 slots, as long as you have one Pokemon from each region.
• Step 2: Pick a wildcard. Your wildcard can come from any region, but it can NOT be one of the following:
• Ivysaur, Venusaur, Hypno, Lapras, Dewgong, Wigglytuff, Mew
• Azumarill, Skarmory, Umbreon
• Registeel, Altaria, Deoxys (Defense Forme), Swampert, Tropius, Medicham, Gardevoir, Whiscash
• Bastiodon, Probopass, Cresselia, Togekiss
• Zweilous, Scrafty, Melmetal, Marowak (Alolan), Jellicent, Mandibuzz
• * Wildcard restrictions also apply to the shadow forms of these Pokemon
• Only one of each Pokemon species is permitted on your team of 6. (No species duplicates!)
• Arena Rules will be followed in all other particulars.
• This is part of the Silph Road’s Ranked Voyager Cup.
• The tournament is Swiss style.
• A non-eliminating tournament format which features a set number of rounds of competition, but considerably fewer than in a round-robin tournament.
• In a Swiss tournament, each competitor does not play every other.
• The winner is the competitor with the highest aggregate points earned in all rounds.
• All competitors play in each round unless there is an odd number of players.
