→‎Video Game Championships: Correcting a lot here. Auto Day2 was replaced with a round 1 bye. I removed the info about tournament structure (X-3 into Day2 and Day2 until top cut) as I do not believe this info has even been published and most of this section was wrong anyway. If there's a source feel free to add it back in

Players received invitations from gaining enough Championship Points throughout the year or from the previous World Championships. The top cut for some rating zones were able to go straight to Day Two: the Top 4 of Oceania, Top 8 of Latin America, Top 12 of the US and Canada, and Top 16 of Europe.
Players in territories managed by [[The Pokémon Company International]] received invitations from either: gaining enough Championship Points throughout the year, winning a Regional Championship, winning a Special Event in Europe, or coming first or second at an International Championship. Players in Asian territories (managed by [[The Pokémon Company]] and Pokémon Korea) earned invites by placing well in their respective National Championships, which were qualified for via in-game Official Competitions via [[Battle Stadium]]. Additionally, the top 4 in each age division from the previous World Championships received an automatic invite.


Day One players competed in Swiss rounds, with those ending the day with fewer than three losses and no ties moving on to Day Two. A new set of Swiss rounds was played Day Two until a top cut could be determined to play a single elimination bracket. The finals of this bracket were played on Day Three.
Top Championship Point earners in the TPCi rating zones received a round 1 bye: the Top 4 of Oceania, Top 8 of Latin America, Top 12 of the US and Canada, and Top 16 of Europe. The round 1 bye was also given to top finishers in the various Asian National Championships. This replaced the automatic Day 2 invitation players could earn in previous years.


Matches took place in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] and were all [[Double Battle]]s. <!--All Pokémon in the games (including by transfer from [[Pokémon HOME]]) were eligible except any [[special Pokémon]], {{p|Iron Leaves}}, or {{p|Walking Wake}}.--> Levels for all Pokémon were adjusted to level 50 and no duplicate Pokémon or items were allowed.
