For its second event, the Team Challenge will continue to run through Pokémon TCG Online but will be offering local stores the opportunity to organize competitive teams and connect players. 

The tournament will run through August in two stages, with the first being four store-hosted TCGO Qualifier Tournaments from April 3 to June 6. Winners from those four events will play as a four-person Store Team in bracketed events from June to August. 

In August, the two top Store Teams will face off in the Team Challenge Grand Finals, with more details to be shared at a later date. 

Registration for participating stores has already opened and will close on May 2, while player registration is limited and will close on March 26. To compete, players must qualify under the Masters Division, meaning they have to been born in 2004 or earlier.
