Like last year, Japan’s National Championships for the VGC ’14 season will be invite-only with the players decided by an online tournament. Japan Cup 2014 will run from the evening of Friday May 2nd to the morning of Monday May 5th, 2014. Registration will last from April 23rd to a few hours before the start of the tournament.
Players will be split into the three age divisions and only play others in the same age division. They’ll access the tournament in the same way as the Beta Competition earlier this year and play under the Standard ruleset. Also like the Beta Competition, there will be a maximum amount of battles allowed to be played.
This is actually the first online tournament of Pokémon X & Y that has been announced as part of the Pokémon Video Game Championships so we look forward to seeing what other news comes out for the season!
