The first day of the tournament will feature a preliminary tournament for all World Championship qualifiers who did not earn an automatic invitation to day two.  Players who earn enough match points during swiss rounds will join the automatic qualifiers on day two.  The second day of the tournament will feature a series of swiss rounds in each division.  At the end of swiss rounds, the top eight players in each division will be seeded into single-elimination tournaments, with the finals being played on Sunday, to determine each division's World Champion.

Similar to [[Flat Battle]] mode, Pokémon of Levels 51 and above will be temporarily reduced to Level 50, while Pokémon Level 50 and below will retain their levels. Held items may be used, but no two Pokémon from the same team may hold the same held item. Players are not allowed to change their held items after they had registered, and could only use items from within the game and those received at an official Pokémon event or promotion.  Players will be allowed to change teams after Friday's preliminary tournament, should they advance to Saturday.
