A lot of the Battle Club battles so far remind me more of contests battles than gym or league matches. Ash vs Burgundy/Langley, Cilan vs Trip, etc. We even get those quick wins for characters in less important battles such as Iris vs Watchog man. I'm thinking this four episode arc is more comparable to the Wallace Cup than the Tag Battle Tournament.
Now that we know Ash isn't the only one who participates in these Battle Clubs (basically the whole cast does), it could be an easy way to set up battles between the rivals. Do you think these Battle Club Tournaments will become a recurring thing like contests were? Of course not to the scale that this one is, only a few of the characters would be present for each of them. But it could give Iris and Cilan an outlet to battle since they don't collect badges/ribbons or anything of the sort.
