The 2019 North American Championships Have Arrived!
We will be holding Championships in every region!
Preliminaries start this June, with finals in October.
* Times may vary by region.

Finals
*Held in the US.
* The Aug./Sept. preliminaries and Regionals are Season 2 events intended for players who don’t have Finals Invites.
The North American 2019 Championship is divided into two seasons:
- - The first season takes place across June and July.
- - The second season takes place across August and September.
*UPDATED* Invites for Regional events earned via Store Preliminaries will now be valid for both seasons of Regionals. This means that invites earned via the June Preliminaries will be valid to use in September Regionals, so they no longer have an expiry. We have made this decision to ensure that players have the best chance possible of earning their invites for the US National Championship.
Store Preliminaries
BCC Stores can register to hold Preliminary tournaments. The top ⅛ players at each tournament will receive an invite to participate in the Regionals Invitational events. Players need the following to participate:
-
*A BCC ID is required to participate in store tournaments.
-
*The BCC App is required to participate in the Regional Invitational event, as Invites are displayed in the app and need to be presented when entering the venue.
-
*For players who have issues getting the BCC App, Regionals Invites will also show up on the BCC for Players website as well. Players should present the BCC for Players site on their phones if they cannot get the BCC App to work.
-
*Unfair acquisition and trading of Finals Invites is strictly prohibited. Any player engaging in these activities (whether giving or receiving) will lose their Finals Invite.

Rules/Notes
-
-
- We recommend Swiss Draw best of 3 for tournaments, but stores may play different formats.
Players should confirm the rules with their store ahead of time.
-
- Players who place in the top 1/8 will get Regionals Invites.
(Example: In an 8-player tournament, first place gets an invite. In a 16-player tournament, the top 2 get invites.)
- If players with Regionals Invites place in the top 1/8, they still get their prizes, but the invite goes to the next player below them.
(Example: In an 8-player tournament, if the first place player already has an invite, the second place player gets it instead. All other first place prizes go to the first place winner.)
- Notes for Stores
-
In order to hold this tournament, you must use the TCG Meister tournament management software. This is part of the agreement during the application process, so make sure to use TCG Meister.

*No exceptions will be made, even if a store is unable to get TCG Meister to work, has PC issues, etc. Please be aware of this before signing up.
Please send the tournament results over via TCG Meister as soon as the tournament has concluded.
Please be aware that the standings are considered final at this point and cannot be changed, so make sure to check with your players that the standings are accurate before submitting.
