For the first time, Pokémon is combining their Trading Card and Video Game Regionals for one incredible event! The New England Regional, located at the Rhode Island Convention Center is a new location for Video Game players. With a new tournament format, everyone gets to play and no one gets eliminated, so come join some of the toughest and most skilled trainers in the country at the 2012 Pokémon VGC New England Regional.
Information:
- Regionals has now become a 2 day event. The first day is solely for the card game, and the 2nd is for the video game.
- The tournament will not be single elimination anymore. Matches for tournaments are set up using the Swiss Pairing Method. In this method, all players in a tournament play in each round against an opponent with a similar win/loss record. Players are not paired against opponents they have previously played. To sum it up, you are paired with a random opponent through the computer that has the same record as you.
- There will be no Top Cut: This means that results will be based off Swiss standings, and tiebreakers (Your opponent's win %) will be used to determine placing.
All participants will receive 5 Play! Points, and a Pokémon Regional Championships promo card (while supplies last), just for playing!
