1-Up Events is holding eight (8) Pokémon Championship qualifying events across the UK throughout May, June, and July on an adventure to crown the first Independent UK Pokémon Champion. Each Qualifier is open to 128 registered competitors and the top 8 players from each qualifier will be invited to the UK National Pokémon Championship Finals on July 23rd to compete for the title of Independent UK Champion. To enter one of the qualifying events, click on your chosen location, follow the guidance steps and register for a place to compete in the 2011 UK Independent Pokemon Video Game Championships.
The tournaments will require you to bring a European copy of Pokémon Black or White as well as your own Nintendo DS console. The rules can be read on the links below - but the main aim is to try and emulate the same rulings as the Official Video Game Championships for 2011. This will be great practice for anyone wishing to compete in the Official TPCi events. You must register online to compete, paying the entrance fee of £12.50. You'll receive a trainer kit as well as the chance to win some great prizes.
Win a fully paid flight, plus 5 days, 4 nights accommodation in San Diego, close by to the Worlds venue, in order to enter the Last Chance Qualifier and potentially make it into Worlds.
These events are not affiliated with Nintendo or TPCi.
