Championship points

What would the average amount of points could someone earn if they placed high at a local tournament that does play pokemon?

That depends on what tournament it is. The highest points gained from a league cup is fifty. A challenge is fifteen. A regionals is an instant invite to the world championships. Those are all only available if you get first. But what tournament are you talking about?

Well any of them but logically I'd be referring to local tournaments that do casual where no points are awarded and local that does award points. I plan to do casual local tournaments to test out a deck I have in mind once I build it and if it's good then I will go to locals where they do award points

So each place where tournaments are being held should have a league challenge once a month and a league cup once every three months. These days, not many places hold tournaments where it's not possible to get points, but if you're trying to get points, then why would you want to go to one of those anyway?

Because I have access local stores all the time and I want to just start out at local just to test out my strategies. I would only go to a regional until I am sure my strategy is gonna hold up that's why I want to do locals first. Think of it like a pool sometimes it can be freezing when someone goes it but their bodies eventually get used to it, its better to walk in the pool at first than doing a cannonball into it.

I'm not talking about regionals. Of course you shouldn't go to regionals until you get a lot better at the game. All I'm saying is that you have an option between a league challenge, which will give you points, and a casual tournament, which will not give you points. They have the same level of competitiveness around them. Why would you choose the casual tournament over the league challenge, which will be no harder and will grant more points?
Also, that's not a good analogy, because when the water is too cold, you will chicken out if you try to go in slowly. Sometimes the only way to make sure you don't back out is the cannonball.
