Notes

• This was the first major tournament to use the BLW-CEC format.
• Three players were disqualified from Day 2 of this tournament: Dane Carlson (decklist error), Boston Moreland (decklist error; was the first seed after Day 1 Swiss), and Simon Trottier-Lacasse (marked sleeves; would have made Top 8 if not for the disqualification). 
• Although they took full responsibility for their errors, Moreland and Carlson noted that a new function in the RK9 Labs decklist builder led to their incorrectly submitted lists, and asked that the function be removed. 

Streamed matches
This event was streamed by the official Pokémon Twitch channel, with commentary from Jeremy Jallen, Chip Richey in his debut as an official caster, and Josue Rojano. There was considerable controversy with this stream: rather than utilizing their separate TCG and VGC channels, TPCI elected to show both TCG and VGC Swiss rounds on a single channel, and show Top 8 for both games on Sunday. This meant that not every Swiss round received coverage for either game, leaving both communities disappointed.

Full VODs: Day 1 / Day 2

Rounds 1-4 and 9, as well as the entirety of Day 2 Swiss, were not streamed.
