Record $1,400 in Prizes Announced for Nugget Bridge Circuit

Good news everyone! Nugget Bridge is proud to announce that we are dramatically increasing the prize pool for this year’s tournament circuit. This year alone we’re giving away over $1,400 in prizes to the players of Nugget Bridge’s tournaments. This is the most cold, hard cash that has ever been awarded in an online Pokémon tournament.

When we started Nugget Bridge, we wanted to give back to the community that helps us grow. As a competitive community, we believe the best way to do this is to raise the stakes on our tournaments. Tournament play is the core of our community and a major reason why we play the game. Nugget Bridge is not-for-profit, so we’re investing what money we make directly into competitive Pokémon.

We’ve already revealed the Nugget Bridge Major prizes, but in light of the massive participation in this tournament we’ve decided to double the previously announced winnings for the top players. Now, all 449 participants in the Nugget Bridge Major will be competing for over $400 in prizes. Here’s how it breaks down:

Champion: $200 + Nugget Bridge Shirt
Runner-up: $100 + Nugget Bridge Shirt
3rd/4th Place: $50

We’re also excited to reveal the prizes for our most prestigious tournament: the Nugget Bridge Invitational.

Only the best of the best qualify for the Nugget Bridge Invitational. As a part of the Nugget Bridge Circuit, it’s our equivalent to a World Championship. In order to prove your worth for the Invitational, you’ll need to place well in tournaments throughout the Nugget Bridge Circuit season. From Live Tournaments to the Coro Coro Cup to Multi-Battles, you’ll need to show your skill across a variety of formats to receive a coveted invitation to challenge the top battlers of the year.

This is no easy task, and the rewards reflect that. Players in the Nugget Bridge Invitational will be competing for the largest prize pool for an independent online Pokémon tournament ever. Everyone participating in the Invitational has proven themselves as the cream of the crop, and winning this tournament is a monumental achievement. For the Nugget Bridge Invitational, we’ll be giving out over $1,000 in prizes. Here’s how it breaks down:

Champion: $500 + Nugget Bridge Shirt
Runner-Up: $250 + Nugget Bridge Shirt
3rd/4th Place: $125 + Nugget Bridge Shirt

As a reminder, here’s how you qualify for the Nugget Bridge Invitational:

  1. Place in the top 16 of the Live Tournament Circuit
  2. Place in the top 8 of the Nugget Bridge Major
  3. Be a member of the top 2 teams from the Coro Coro Cup style tournament
  4. Be a finalist from the previous Nugget Bridge Invitational

So far only two spots have been decided, which means there are still 30 spots up for grabs. If you want to join Mrbopper and Plusle in this historic tournament, you’ll have to get out and play!
