Revision as of 21:25, 21 October 2018

The 2006 Pokémon Trading Card Game World Championships were held at the Hilton Anaheim hotel in Anaheim, California in the United States from August 18 to 20, 2006. They were the third World Championships event hosted by Play! Pokémon.

The event used the EX Hidden Legends onwards Modified Format and was the last premier event before the new age division groups (Junior, Senior and Masters) were introduced. The second day of the tournament featured seven rounds of Swiss Pairings for the two younger divisions, while the Fifteen and Over division featured eight rounds. The top 32 players in each division were then seeded into single-elimination tournaments on Sunday to determine each division’s World Champion.

Single-elimination brackets

Curran Hill of the United States was the defending World Champion in the Ten and Under Division, but he became eligible for the Eleven to Fourteen Division. There, he finished 37th in Swiss Rounds.

Hiroki Yano of Japan succeeded Curran as World Champion, finishing with a 10-2 record.
