QUALIFICATIONS FOR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS POKEMON UNIT 2022
The first season of the Championships Pokemon UNIT will cover seven regions: North America, South America, Europe, Oceania, Japan, South Korea and Asia-Pacific. Tournaments Pokemon UNIT will only be open to players aged 16 or over (minimum age requirements may vary in some regions or countries).
Each month, a qualifying tournament will take place in each region. Players will receive Championship Points (CP) based on their team’s finishing position in this monthly tournament. Each player will keep these PCs individually, to allow for team changes throughout the season. The teams with the most CP will qualify for the Regional Championships. The best-placed teams at the Regional Championships will then qualify for the Pokémon World Championships.
Each month, the tournament will start with qualifying matches (in a double elimination format), as in the case of the February Cup. The top sixteen teams will participate in the monthly finals, which will be held two to three weeks after the qualifying matches. For most regions, these monthly finals will be streamed online. In April, players will be able to participate in the Æos Cup, a special tournament offering rewards and more CP than the regular monthly tournaments. In each region, the top four teams from the monthly tournament in March, as well as the top twelve teams from the Aeos Cup Last Chance Tournament, will compete in a round-robin tournament; the best will then participate in the final in double elimination.
