Qualifiers
Like last year, this will be a seeded tournament. Seeding will be determined by qualifiers leading up to the event. Two of the six qualifiers are left. Unlike last year, these qualifiers will be held using the Nintendo WiFi Connection rather than Pokémon Online. Nugget Bridge's Live tournaments are being used as qualifiers.

Apex should be an incredibly cool experience and I encourage everyone in the area to show up!Your seeding in the tournament will be determined by the points you receive for the live tournaments. If you’re planning to attend Apex, we recommend you play in as many live tournaments as possible over the next month! Events are held over the Nintendo WiFi Connection and threads will be posted in the Online Tournaments forum before every event. You are asked to please join #nuggetbridge on SynIRC for the duration of live tournaments.
You are still able to play at Apex without playing in any qualifiers, but you will be unseeded.
