The format for the Video Game Championships, first staged in [[2009 World Championships|2009]] in {{wp|San Diego, California}} is virtually the same as the TCG counterparts with winners comprised of those in National tournament play.  In 2010, a Last Chance Qualifier was held on Friday to fill all vacant spots.  The most recently released Pokémon game (which will be [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2]] on October 7 [within the Americas]) is used for battles.  The event format was single elimination, with the top eight players in the Junior and Senior divisions advancing to the finals round competing from a list of approved Pokémon on Saturday.  In 2009, the top two advanced to play the finals on Sunday, whereas in 2010, the top eight advanced to play in a head-to-head single elimination event to decide the World Champions.
