The Sinister Cup

PoGo Findlay’s eleventh PvP Tournament. Please show up early, as we want to START at 5:30pm. We will be setup near the Bandshell in Riverside Park!

This is a FREE event! This is a Swiss style tournament and will have 4+ rounds. The tournament will take about an hour and fifteen minutes based on past events.

1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners will get an official Sinister Cup pin (1″ Enamel) and a Sinister Cup Trophy!

First 30 players to arrive will get an official Sinister Cup Die-Cut Sticker and an official Sinister Cup 1″ Metal Button!

We will also have limited amounts of leftover buttons and stickers from past cups.

• Only one of each Pokemon species is permitted on your team of 6. (No species duplicates!)
• Arena Rules will be followed in all other particulars.
• This is part of the Silph Road’s Ranked Sinister Cup.
• The tournament is Swiss style.
• A non-eliminating tournament format which features a set number of rounds of competition, but considerably fewer than in a round-robin tournament.
• In a Swiss tournament, each competitor does not play every other.
• The winner is the competitor with the highest aggregate points earned in all rounds.
• All competitors play in each round unless there is an odd number of players.
