Pokémon TCG Scramble Battle brings solo and trio play to Kagawa

A two-day Pokémon TCG event is set for Kagawa

Pokémon Card Game Scramble Battle will take place at Sun Messe Kagawa on 26 and 27 December. The official notice describes it as a large-scale event and says players will compete in a real-time Swiss draw using smartphones.

The two days use different team formats. Saturday is for individual players, while Sunday pairs players in teams of three. The event is listed for the open league and is free to enter, but visitors need to apply in advance.

Solo battles open the weekend, followed by trios

Saturday’s solo competition is followed by the trio battle on Sunday. Both days are scheduled from 9:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., with final entry at 3 p.m. The notice says entry times vary by assigned group, so players should check their tournament registration details before travelling.

Because the Swiss pairings run in real time through a smartphone, participants need a LINE account and a phone. Tablets are not accepted for the event system. The organiser also says that advance application is required for both the main event and on-site merchandise access, with those opportunities limited to selected applicants.
