Eligibility Requirements
Eligibility requirements are explained in these four posts: (1) (2) (3) (4)
In summary, you are eligible for any region in which you resided for extended periods of time after the creation of your Smogon account.
"Cultural eligibility" rules were removed in earlier editions of LTWC, and have not been reinstated.
As a reminder, hosts reserve the right to reject any player they deem to be insufficiently eligible. An example of this would be a player whose IP drastically changes shortly before the start of the tournament.
Akeras grew up in France, and currently lives in Toronto. His forum IPs from the past 12 months reflect that he resides in Toronto. While his IPs show a couple of visits to France during his Smogon tenure, they do not reflect any long-term residency. Akeras is eligible to play for Team Canada, but is NOT eligible to play for Team France.
Etern spends much of the year at university in California, but his parents live in Iowa. His forum IPs from the past 12 months reflect that he spends extended periods of time in both California and Iowa, and therefore he is eligible to play for either Team US West or Team US Midwest. Once he chooses to play for one team or the other, his future eligibility is locked to that region.
Lumii used to live in Brazil but currently resides in Sweden. While her forum IPs from the past 12 months reflect that she currently primarily resides in Sweden, her forum IPs confirm that from 2014 to 2016 she primarily resided in Brazil. She is eligible to play for either Team Brazil or Team Europe. Once she chooses to play for one team or the other, her future eligibility is locked to that region.
Ahmed played on Team Oceania in LTWC 2021 and 2022. Unless his forum IPs show some recent change, he is locked onto Team Oceania for LTWC 2025.
