For the fourth year in a row, Team Ugly is pleased to announce the return of the Ugly Cup as the major side-event for Canadian Nationals. As most of you are aware there have been a couple of major changes that have impacted the primary goal of the Ugly Cup which has been to provide an opportunity for Canadian players without travel awards to participate in the Pokémon World’s experience. Those changes have been:

- The introduction of single-elimination format at the World's Last Chance Qualifier
- The elimination of the travel award for the 2nd place finishers at Canadian Nationals
- The decision (which I highly support) of turning Canadian Nationals into a two day event which in turn would exclude the players with the best performance at Canadian Nationals from participating in the Ungly Cup and hence have an opportunity to win the travel award

). If the staff of the tournament and the tournament venue was on board and we could start Day 2 of nationals earlier, if the Ugly Cup were to wait for the top 16 round in each division to be concluded and then begin right away that would be incredible.
