The action from the latest Pokémon competition is heating up as the competitors get ready for the finals.

The action at the Pokémon North America International Championships is reaching the boiling point, as competitors from around the world take part in the battles that could make them the next Pokémon Master. This year’s competition brings together the top players in the Trading Card Game (TCG) and Video Game Championships (VGC) as they battle for Championship Points and thousands of dollars in prizes.

The event itself has been running for a few days now in Columbus, Ohio, with the Senior Division Pokémon TCG and all Masters Division competitions will begin Friday, July 6, and go through Sunday, July 8. The Senior Division Pokémon VGC and all Junior Division competitions will take place on Saturday and Sunday. Additionally, there is a Pokkén Tournament Championship Series event taking place, where the top finishers can qualify for the 2018 Pokkén Tournament World Championships later this year.

We’re almost at the crux of the competition as the top player’s battle it out in the finals. Here’s the schedule for the games taking place tomorrow.

The TCG Junior, Senior, and Master division finals will take place from approximately 11:30 am EDT, and the VGC Junior, Senior, and Master division finals will follow at approximately 3 pm EDT. The Pokkén tournament finals will run from approximately 9:30 am EDT.

The format for the event is as follows: “Pokémon TCG players will compete using the Standard format, and they are allowed to use English-language cards, as well as cards from their home market in languages other than English. The VGC competition will be played using Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon; all regions and language versions of the games are permitted.”
