What this is
What the official Play! Pokémon “Prizing and Fees” support page covers: local tournaments run by independent organisers, not Regional or International Championships.
How it’s built
- Read from the Play! Pokémon support page: “Organizers may charge a fee to participate in tournaments … You may modify your prize structure as you see fit.”
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
The page says nothing about who sets or keeps Regional or International entry fees, so it cannot support the claim that organisers keep them. The Las Vegas registration page names a host organiser but not who is paid.
Where it comes from
The line in the source
Organizers may charge a fee to participate in tournaments. ... You may modify your prize structure as you see fit.
In English
Re-opened S:Q49.B-37/S:Q49.Bb-17. The page is written for local League Challenge/League Cup organisers (it also covers Prize Pack and playmat shipments). It does not say who sets or keeps Regional or International entry fees. F:Q49.Bb-11's label 'regional_to_pricing_model' and the thesis line 'tournament organisers keep Regional entry fees [F:Q49.Bb-11]' over-read it. The RK9 Las Vegas page (S:Q49.B-2) names 'Host organizer: Gaming Generations' but not the payee.
