I played in my first Store Championship last night, and as if I wasn't hooked on this game already, I'm full on addicted now. It was a very cool event and I'm looking forward to participating in more of them!

So a couple quick questions that I couldn't seem to find the answers to:

• Are Store Championships a once a year thing?
• How late in the year do Store Championships run?
• Where can I find a list of upcoming Store Championships? Before the site switched over I remember seeing a page with them all listed, but I can't find it now.
• Are Regional Championships invite only? I know winners of SC's get a first round bye, but other than that, how do you register for one? Maybe it's just a show up and register thing like the SC's are, but I wasn't sure.
• Is it safe to assume you can particpate in more than one SC, assuming you can find multiple in your area? I've only been playing for a short while, but I'd hate to have to wait an entire year to play in another.

Thanks in advance!

There are 4 level of events, Store Championships, Regionals, Nationals, and Worlds.

Store Championships run January through end of March. Most venues that apply to host get a Store Championship kit.

Regionals typically run April through June. This year each region will have 3 venues that will be chosen to host a Regional event. The locations have yet to be announced.

Nationals happen at GenCon in August

Worlds happen in November at FFG Headquarters

Regionals are not invite only. But I've seen a lot venues put a player cap of 60 players only due to space limitations. So if you need to preregister for one I'd do it to secure a spot.

You can participate in more than one Store Championship but you can only win one event or the bye into regionals once.

Here is a link for the store championship locations.

Besides the tournament structure that FFG supports there are also 3 different seasonal game night kits that your local venue can get. These kits can be used at the venues discretion on how to award the prize.

Here is a link to a thread where someone sorted all the different prizes thus far

Regionals are actually May 1- July 31.

Awesome, thanks for the great info! Sadly it seems like I got into the game a tad to late, because all of the Store Championships are past now

Oh well, the one I got to play in was fun.
