Registration

This VG League Cup is for all divisions. Each event can host a limit of 36 competitors.

Registration will be closed at 1 PM.

Preparation

All participating players are responsible for bringing the TWO required versions of their Team Sheets, available here: https://www.pokemon.com/static-assets/content-assets/cms2/pdf/play-pokemon/rules/play-pokemon-vg-team-list-2023.pdf. Players will be responsible for replacing their team sheet if lost or damaged. Systems must be updated to the latest version of both system software and game cartridge updates (Version number and most recent rule set). Players may be penalized, including Disqualification, if their game does not have the latest update, or if their system is not running on the latest firmware. You are more than welcome, and even encouraged to, submit your two team lists to dmvpokemon@gmail.com prior to the event.
