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.  In 2011, a Masters age Division was added to parallel the TCG.  The most recently released Pokémon game (which is currently [[Pokémon X and Y]]) is used for battles.  The event format consists of swiss rounds, followed by a single elimination tournament.  In 2009, the top two advanced to play the finals on Sunday, whereas since 2010, the top eight advance to play in a head-to-head single elimination event to decide the World Champions.
