Officially the third competitive season under TPCi/NoA, Organized Play really started to grow both in the US and Internationally in the 2005-2006 season. I am aware that both Canada and Mexico are indeed international as well! Pokemon Organized Play (POP) 2005-2006

at this time, and competitive play heavily revolved around the United States’ schedule. In these articles I often refer to anything outside of North America as “International,” simply because TPCi was known as Pokemon USA Inc. As always, any promotional materials or attendance records from this time period are greatly appreciated. Like the previous posts, this will continue as a work in progress.
