All those who wish to participate in a Play! Pokémon tournament must have their own Player ID number. You can quickly and easily generate a unique, personal Player ID through a Pokémon Trainer Central account on Pokemon.com.
Competitors who have not generated a Player ID number before arriving at a tournament may be assigned a Player ID by the Organizer instead. In such cases, the next time the competitor logs in to their Pokémon Trainer Central account, they should link that account to the Player ID number they have been given. They will then be able to track participation at tournaments and earn associated perks and prizes. Competitors must use only a single Player ID. It is a violation of our Terms of Use to knowingly register multiple Player IDs, and any duplicate IDs may be removed or merged without warning.
Organizers must use Player IDs to report the attendance of all competitors during the events.
