The Pokemon Company International has announced the newest round of the Play! Pokemon Team Challenge following last year’s Summer Team Challenge. As before, Masters Division players will compete against one another in a series of qualifying matches to earn a spot to compete on their local game store’s Pokemon TCG team. Qualifiers begin January 15th and wrap May 8th.
There are a few noteworthy changes to the Play! Pokemon Team Challenge this time around. The biggest is perhaps that players are no longer ‘locked’ into a specific game store until they have qualified at one. Players may compete in the qualifier events for up to three stores of their choosing. Additionally, stores that exist in regions where Pokemon has sanctioned play may hold their qualifier events in person.
