===Opening Ceremony===
The Silver Conference begins with the the passing of the ceremonial torch lit with Ho-Oh's Sacred Flame. The opening ceremony is so important to the conference that the competition could not be held without it.

====The Legend====
According to legend, the site of the Silver Conference was once the setting for a great war. People fought hard and left the area a war-ravaged place. Both the land and the Pokémon in the area suffered from the humans' hostility and carelessness. Ho-Oh appeared and used its Sacred Flame to burn life back into the place. Ho-Oh returned things to normal, but one tree continued to burn, serving as a reminder of the event. The fire from that tree was taken and placed in a shrine on Mt. Silver.
==Eligible Pokemon==
Trainers may register between 6 and 12 Pokemon for competition. Eligible Pokemon for competition include official Pokemon registered in the Kanto, Johto, Riau, Hoenn, and Sinnoh Pokedexes. Exceptions are made for any trainer's officially registered starter Pokemon. Alola Formes are permitted.
Galar Forms are not permitted unless they are a trainer's starter Pokemon. Select Legendary Pokemon are not permitted. Z-Moves and Mega Evolution are not permitted.
==Competition==
The competitions of the Silver Conference are divided into three different parts: screening rounds, round robin, and the finals.
===Screening===
The screening rounds are also called the Athlete's Greeting, which is designed to weed out the weaker trainers. The first screening round consists of a one-on-one Single Battle. All 192 competitors are randomly matched up by a computer.
The winning 96 training advance to the second screening round, and are once again randomly matched by a computer. These second round battles consist of two-on-two Single Battles. The 48 winning Trainers move onto the Round Robin stage.
===Round Robin===
A point system is used in the round robin stage. The 48 trainers are split into 16 groups of 3 and participate in a round-robin tournament of three-on-three matches. Three battle points are awarded for every win, one point for every draw, and no points for a loss. The trainer in each block with the most points, then moves on to the final rounds.
If there is a tie, the two tied opponents face each other in a one-on-one battle with a Pokemon they did not originally use in the previous round robin battles. The winner advances to the final rounds.
===Final Rounds===
After a day of rest, the final battles are held in the Silver Stadium with the battlefields rotating between rock, grass, water. ice, sand, and standard battlefields.
The final rounds are a series of Full Battles with the Top 16 Trainers participating. The trainers are organized in a formal Top 16 draw. The top half and bottom half of the draw alternate between days of battling until the Top 4 are decided. The semifinals are followed by a day of rest, and the finals are held on the last day of competition.
During Full Battles, when three Pokemon are defeated on one side, there is ten-minute intermission and a field change.
The Trainer who wins all four of their final rounds is declared the winner of the Silver Conference, earning the chance to challenge the Indigo Elite Four.
