Introduction of Championship Points, an Expanded Regional Championships Schedule, and Combined Pokémon TCG and Video Game Tournaments Highlight New Season.
BELLEVUE, WA - October 6, 2011 - Across the United States and Canada, veteran competitors and new players of the Pokémon™ Trading Card Game (TCG) and video game should get ready for new, exciting changes being implemented for the 2011-2012 Play! Pokémon tournament season! The Pokémon Company International is rolling out new features that will add more excitement and opportunities to play and win throughout the year.
Starting this season, Championship Points will be awarded at all Pokémon Championship Series events. Now, competing in multiple events throughout the season will give players even more chances to attend the Pokémon World Championships! Pokémon TCG players can begin earning Championship Points right now by attending Battle Road Autumn events, and video game players can begin earning Championship Points starting with Regional Championship events.
To help players increase their chances of earning Championship Points, The Pokémon Company International is splitting its Regional Championships schedule in North America in two, with seven tournaments taking place in mid-November 2011 and eight in mid-April 2012. Now players can attend a maximum of two Regional Championship events out of thirteen being held in the United States and two in Canada.
To make the expanded Regional Championships a more complete Pokémon experience, Pokémon TCG and video game Regional Championship tournaments will now be held during the same weekend and at the same location. Players competing in the TCG tournament will battle on Saturdays, with finals taking place on Sundays, while video game players will compete on Sundays. Players of all skill levels are encouraged to come and compete. And, if TCG players don’t advance to the TCG finals on Sunday, they are welcome to compete in the video game tournament that same day.
The first Autumn Regional Championships kick off on Saturday and Sunday, November 12th-13th, with seven event locations, including Long Beach, California; Lake Buena Vista, Florida; Fort Wayne, Indiana; Crestwood, Missouri; Salem, Oregon; Providence, Rhode Island; and Doswell, Virginia. Players wishing to find out more information should visit www.pokemon.com, as details on the April 2012 event dates and locations will be added to the website’s Play! Pokémon section.
"The 2011-2012 Play! Pokémon season has all the makings of becoming the biggest, most competitive Pokémon tournament season to date," said J.C. Smith, director of Consumer Marketing for The Pokémon Company International. "With the new point system and tournament structure, we will give more Pokémon players the opportunity to have fun and compete at our events."
The fun doesn’t stop there, though. The Pokémon Company International is holding its first-ever online video game tournament, the Pokémon Autumn Friendly, October 20th-23rd, 2011. Using Pokémon from the Unova region, players from all over the world will compete for the right to be crowned the Pokémon Autumn Friendly Champion. The action will take place on the Pokémon Global Link’s Global Battle Union site and, though not an official Play! Pokémon tournament season event, players will be the first to battle in a Pokémon-sanctioned Global Battle Union tournament.
Registration for the Pokémon Autumn Friendly will take place October 12th-19th at www.pokemon.com/pgl. Those wishing to compete will need a copy of the Pokémon Black Version or Pokémon White Version game and a Nintendo 3DS™ or a system from the Nintendo DS™ family. They must also have a Pokémon Trainer Club account, which is free and simple to open at www.pokemon.com.

Registration for the Global Battle Union Autumn Friendly Tournament begins October 12th.
Looking for a way to tune up your battling skills? Try a Wi-Fi Battle Competition! The 2011 Autumn Friendly Tournament is an easy way to play against other Trainers around the world. This competition is part of the Global Battle Union, one of the awesome features of the Pokémon Global Link. The tournament is completely free, so don’t miss your chance to show off your Trainer talent!
During the tournament, you’ll play against other Trainers online, using your Nintendo DS system and your Pokémon Black Version or Pokémon White Version game. The better you do, the higher you’ll rank. Then, at the end of the tournament, all the results will be posted to the leaderboards on the Global Battle Union website!
Here are some things you should know when preparing for the 2011 Autumn Friendly Tournament: All battles are Double Battles, meaning two Pokémon from each Trainer’s party will be battling at the same time. You need at least four Pokémon in your Battle Box before each battle, and you can have up to six. All of the Pokémon must be from the Unova Pokédex. Victini, Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem cannot be used. When you battle, any Pokémon at Level 51 or higher will automatically become Level 50 for the duration of the battle. Pokémon at Level 49 or lower will not change level.
Registration for the 2011 Autumn Friendly Tournament will be October 12th to 19th via the Global Battle Union. Battles begin October 20th and run through the 24th. Be sure to register early—only the first 10,000 people will be given a place in tournament! To register, you need a Pokémon Trainer Club account and the ability to log in to the Pokémon Global Link.

Since I live in Toronto, I find it funny that people outside of Canada are fans considering attendance at games is slow poor as of late. I know Japanese are huge baseball fans but there hasn't been any big Japanese baseball stars in Toronto that I know of.
