Trivia

Champion's League tournaments were introduced in Japan in 2000 along with Battle Roads, serving as a climax to that portion of the season. The winners and other high ranking players from Battle Roads gained entry into the Champion's League. From 2004, the Champion's League operated in much the same way as the TCG National Championships in regions outside Japan did, in that the top ranking players earned a place at the TCG World Championships.
The Champion's League was held in Spring and Summer during 2000 and 2001, and once a year during Summer up until 2007, where there was both a Spring and Summer tournament again. No card was awarded through the tournament until 2005 however. There was no Champion's League held in 2008 due to the cancellation of the last three scheduled Battle Road tournaments as a result of a threat letter sent to Pokémon Card Laboratory in April 2008. Champion's League events were phased out in 2009 in favor of World Championship Qualifiers.
