We have three ages of divisions, Juniors, Seniors, and Masters.
Juniors is from six to 12, [UNKNOWN] is 12 to 16, and [UNKNOWN] is 16 and older.
We have no upper age limit.
These events are all about the fans.
It's everything Pokemon, but it's all friendship.
It's about camaraderie.
It's about sportsmanship.
It's about seeing your old friends.
Cuz a lot of these people come every year and see the same people.
And they've made new friends through this program.
And you definitely see the longevity of the brand in the generations of people that play Pokemon.
We have some very intense junior players.
