The official Pokémon site has announced prerelease tournaments for the upcoming {{tcg|Next Destinies|Pokémon TCG: Black & White—Next Destinies}} will be held from Jan. 28 to Feb. 5. A list of times and locations for the tournament is available [http://www.pokemon.com/us/organized-play/events/premier?continent=NA&pes=71 here].

To join, a fee of $25 must be paid. This admission charge will also provide participants six Next Destinies booster packs for them to build their deck with for the tournament. Participants will not only use cards from Next Destinies before the official release, but they will also get to keep all cards received in their packs. All participants will be divided into the Junior, Senior and Masters age divisions, and they will also receive a Next Destinies promo card and promotional item, while supplies last. All participants will receive two additional Next Destinies booster packs.

The tournaments will follow the Limited Format and Age-Modified Swiss pairings, with the number of Swiss rounds depending on the number of participants. Participating in this set of prerelease tournaments counts towards Pokémon Player Rewards credits but not the Premier Rating.
