The Play! Pokémon Tournament Rules Handbook has been updated with important changes to the 2025 Championship Series. The changes include modifications to asymmetric sizing for events with a smaller number of players. There were also adjustments to match point thresholds needed to advance to Swiss Phase Two.

The updated rulebook is currently available in English. Localized versions of the rulebook will be available in early December.
