And the final World Championship round will be held August 12 through August 14 at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront in San Diego, California.
There is a page up for tournament regulations and a FAQ.
The San Jose location is very close to me, so I am sure my daughter and I will at least head out to see how the event goes. Remember, arrive early… very early. The lines for entering the event have been, in the past, very long.
How about you? Will you be able to get to an event? Will you enter and compete?

I’ll definately try to go for the June 18th date! I’ve been working on my team for quite a while – in fact, one of pokemon that’s on my team is about lv 80 right now…
