League Challenge events consist of only Swiss rounds; there is no top cut to single-elimination rounds.

All players who have Pokémon Trainer Club accounts and are in good standing with the Play! Pokémon rules are welcome to participate. Players need to bring their own 60-card deck.

Players must have a Pokémon Trainer Club account with a Player ID attached, and must have opted in to the Play! Pokémon program in order to earn points and prizes. All participants will receive 1 Play! Point just for playing, and additional prizes will be awarded.
