The Retro Cup of Pokemon features all oldgen OU tiers. That means RBY OU, GSC OU, ADV OU, DPP OU, BW OU, ORAS OU, SM OU and SS OU. Each team will be required to have 8 players and 4 substitutes. Team formation and qualification priority will be given to RCoP 2023 qualifiers, then any WCoP teams not in RCoP, then completely new teams.
Qualifying rounds will be created if there are more than 16 team entrants. Qualifying rounds will be organized in a round robin and a playoff, with the specifics depending on the number of teams present. After that, for the first round of the main event, players will be randomly assigned into four groups of four for each generation, with the top 8 teams with the most collected wins proceeding to the Playoffs - an 8-team single elimination bracket where teams will face head to head.
Expected Main Event teams:

China
Europe
France
Germany
India
Italy
Oceania
Spain
United Kingdom
