Preface: Thank you in advance your your application to the PAX Pokemon League. We’ll be looking over applications by April 18th. Please stay up to date with your thread, and the e-mail which you have provided below. We will contact you in one of those ways if we have any questions that need answering. Keep in mind also that the PAX Pokemon League has a small financial commitment as well. Expect to spend at least $25 for purchasing your gym badges, as well as $10-20 for leadership dues which help keep the league running. If this is a burden, please do not let this hinder your willingness to apply. Please let us know in your application and we will try to work something out.
