League Guidelines

Help us maintain a safe and clean environment inside the Fantastic Store by following the guidelines below for League and local CP events:

Per Play! Pokémon Standards of Conduct and the Spirit of the Game, inappropriate language and/or the discussion of inflammatory topics will not be tolerated. Additionally, a socially acceptable level of personal hygiene is expected. Clothing and game resources (mats) must be child and family-friendly.
Eating or drinking inside the venue must remain separated from the League play area. There are specific tables where you may eat and drink. Closed containers (water bottles) are allowed in the play area, but cannot be on the play tables.
Help keep the store clean by throwing your trash into the waste bins located throughout the League space. Also, help teach the youngsters this important value.
