Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Will VGC eventually use a "points system" for invites, a la TCG?

For those of you who don't know, the way that TCG and VGC award ranking-based Worlds invites is different. Until recently, TCG used the same system that VGC currently uses: top 40 in a certain region (i.e. North America). However, they have now changed their system to where everyone who reaches a certain level of CP (which is currently 300) gets an invite. With the threshold being 300 CP, top players are already clinching their invite. Obviously, this system ultimately allows for more people to participate in Worlds.

Do you think VGC will eventually switch to a similar system?

Doubtful unless the game really expands, VGC events and opportunities for earning CP are a lot more limited than constant TCG league challenges, cities, states, regionals, nats.

Besides just getting an invite doesn't mean a lot of those players will go to worlds since they don't include travel costs or anything right? I'm sure there's probably quite a few invites that go unclaimed or given up.
 
VGC is having issues expanding (amount of players vs TCG), and they do not have as much support as TCG since TCG bring in more money
