Our First VG Tournament!

We’re going to have our first sanctioned Video Game tournament on the Western Slope!

Please read through the VGC Rules & Formats document under the Rules & Resources page on Pokemon.com to familiarize yourself with competitive team and item restrictions.

When: July 27, 2016

Time: Registration 4pm-5pm Tournament starts 5pm

Where: Hastings Entertainment, 2201-A S. Townsend Ave, Montrose, CO 81401

Entry Fee: $5 cash only entry fee per player to cover prize support.

Swiss pairing format. Players will be divided by Junior, Senior, and Master age divisions. Should either Juniors or Seniors have less than 6 players, the two divisions will play together, meaning the prizing will be given to top places to the combined division. Masters will have their own prizing.

If there are fewer than 6 Junior and Seniors combined, all age divisions will complete together. This means prize support for all players will go by the ALL Standings. Each match will be best of three.

Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire games ONLY! Make sure your 3DS/2DS is fully charged at the start of the event!

Double battle. Team must be in Battle Box and checked during registration. No substitutions to team or items allowed after registration. Each player selects four Pokémon from their party of six to battle with. Play continues until one player makes all four of their opponent’s Pokémon faint.

This will be an “untethered” event, meaning the Battle Box will not be locked electronically. Players must select Normal rules when setting up a battle and all Pokémon will be leveled to 50. The following time limits will apply:

-Team preview: 99 seconds

-Turn time limit: 45 seconds

-Best 2-out-of-3 Round time limit: 45 minutes
