Registration for the conference closes at 5 pm on the day before the opening ceremonies. Trainers are given a food and restaurant guide for the venue upon registration. Charles Goodshow, President of the League Competition Committee, oversees the opening ceremony.

Like at the Indigo Plateau Conference, the opening ceremonies consist of a torch lighting ceremony.

Qualifying rounds

During the qualifying rounds, the Top 256 Trainers take part in three Double Battles. If all three are won, the Trainer moves on to the finals.

Final rounds
