So, I haven't seen a thread about this anywhere on the forums here. I think everybody should be excited to find out that the company has announced some small events with CP on the line. They will be called Premier Challenges, and they can be held from April 21 to June 23, 2014. They haven't announced what levels of CP will be made available yet. Only certain tournament organizers are allowed to run these events based on who has shown participation during the past couple months of running local events. The rules will be the standard VGC 2014 format, just like regionals, nationals, and worlds. For now, since it is only a test pilot program, they will only be held in North America with plans to expand globally next season (assuming the pilot program works well). There will be a best finish limit of two for premier challenges. I believe that is all the relevant information from the announcement. Please discuss. 
tldr: Local level CP events are coming to North America in about a month.
