It's time for the next year of the Smogon VGC circuit! Here's to another year of tough competition and success stories. Continuing from last year, we will use the automatic invite system for tournament winners. The remaining 11 slots will go to the top finishers in circuit points for a total of a 16 man playoff. The winner of this tournament will receive a custom avatar and the Smogon VGC circuit champion ribbon.
