Originally the Video Game Championship series used only two age divisions, but as of 2012 both the Trading Card Game and Video Game series have been unified to use the same age division structure. | Originally the Video Game Championship series used only two age divisions, but as of 2012 both the Trading Card Game and Video Game series have been unified to use the same age division structure. | ||
As of | As of July 5, 2020, the three age divisions are defined as follows: | ||
* '''Junior Division''': Born in | * '''Junior Division''': Born in 2009 or later | ||

* '''Masters Division''': Born in | * '''Masters Division''': Born in 2004 or earlier | ||
These age divisions apply for the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 seasons, due to the cancellation of the 2019-2020 season, and the subsequent decision to allow accumulation of championship points across both seasons. | |||
These divisions are officially adjusted when the new tournament season begins, around mid-July each year, sometime between the conclusion of National Championships worldwide and the start of the [[World Championships|Pokémon World Championships]]. However, the World Championships are considered part of the previous tournament season and use its age division years. | These divisions are officially adjusted when the new tournament season begins, around mid-July each year, sometime between the conclusion of National Championships worldwide and the start of the [[World Championships|Pokémon World Championships]].
