The Official PokémonWorld Tour has a very different tournament format when compared with the other official tournaments on PokémonWorld. Over a set course of time, usually nine weeks, a series of real-time tournaments varying in tiers will take place. It's usually between 9-18 different tournaments, with players earning more points dependent on how far they get in each one. The points will be tallied up each week and once the nine weeks of tournaments are over, the eight players with the highest points will be entered into a seeded, single elimination tournament to determine the overall winner. These seeded matches will be done in a best of three format, over three different tiers - Overused, Underused, and Uber. | The Official PokémonWorld Tour has a very different tournament format when compared with the other official tournaments on PokémonWorld.
