Other important notes

Check-in

You will need to scan the QR code displayed at the Check-in counter inside the venue to complete your check-in.

Any player using a picture of the QR code to check-in remotely risks a penalty from a Game Loss up to a disqualification.

In preparation for check-in on the day of the event, please make sure that:

  • You know your Trainers Website login email address and password
  • You bring a document to prove you reside in the region of the event

For Players who got a Pokémon Champsionships 2023-24 Malaysia invite + Bye(s) from a Town League competition:
Players with one or more Byes must still check-in by the end of the check-in time and be present for the Player Meeting, same as all other players.
Any such player who is not checked in by the end of the dedicated time will be considered as being late, and they will get a Match Loss for the first round they were supposed to start playing from.
In that case, if that player wishes to keep playing in the tournament, they have until the end of Round 1 to go to the Check-in counter and fill a re-entry request. Note that if you are late and don't subit a re-entry request, you will be disqualified from the tournament.

※ Concrete examples of which rounds Losses for tardiness get applied to:
For a player with 1 Bye: Round 1 gets counted as a Win, Round 2 as a Loss, then they start playing from Round 3.
For a player with 2 Byes: Rounds 1 and 2 get counted as Wins, Round 3 as a Loss, then they start playing from Round 4.
(Assuming they were late for check-in but submitted a re-entry request before the end of Round 1)

Before the event, please make sure you know your Trainers Website password and ensure that it is working correctly.
When you check-in on the day of the event, after scanning the QR code, you will need to log into your account.
If while trying to log in you input the wrong password 3 times, your account will get locked for 15 minutes for security reasons and you won't be able to try logging in again for that duration.
If you don't complete your check-in by the end of the dedicated check-in time because you weren't able to log into your account, it will still be considered as tardiness and you will get a Round 1 Game Loss.
Please take the time, before the day of the event, to make sure you have no issues logging into your account.
On the day of the event, you will not need to log into your account before reading the check-in QR code.

Tardiness

  • Players who have not completed check-in by the end of the dedicated check-in time will get a Loss for that round.
  • Players who were late but still wish to participate in the competition must fill the re-entry form available at the event organiser desk, before the end of Round 1.
  • From Round 2 onwards, players who are not seated at their designated table and ready to start playing when the round starts will be considered as having lost the match and will not be able to play in the rest of the tournament.
  • Players who miss a match without having formally dropped out of the event by completing the necessary form will be disqualified.

During Matches

  • Participants are required to check and know the following rules:
  • Please follow instructions from staff members and sit at your designated table.
  • Match results submission
    • Masters division: Players will use their own mobile device to submit their results online.
      Please refer to this guide.
    • Junior and Senior divisions: once a match has concluded, a staff member will come to pick up the Match Slip. If your match ends before the time limit for the round, please raise your hand and wait for a staff member to come to your table.
