Does anyone else find it funny that the guy that put this together is in NE FL, where there are no store championships?
FOR SHAME NE FL!
Just Kidding, Great Job, Steve! You Less Than Geek Guys are alright...
Except Travis.

I have a lousy phone and I can't find the dates on the map. Does anyone have the Seattle area dates? I know where each location is...I just need to know when.
So far there are 4 Seattle area tournaments that I can find scheduled.
MOB Games, Lake Stevens - February 13
Uncles Games Puzzles and More Redmond - February 20
Heroic Knights Games, Issaquah - January 30
Uncles Games Puzzles and More Tacoma - January 30
FFG forgot to post my stores location on the sheet, Orange City, IA 51041 (OC Games and Comics) Thinking ours will be in March.

I also saw these listed...
Card Kingdom (Ballard)- February 13
Meeple's Games (West Seattle)- February 7
Always such a pain figuring out these events. The Dark Side in Sarasota has an incorrect list (I'm guessing from last year) on their website, and the store itself's FB page doesn't have events listed past January. Apparently they have a separate FB page for events that you have to find them all in.
Of course, the correct dates now have me with multiple X-wing and Netrunner events overlapping...
Also it isn't finalized but it looks like Critical Hit Games in St. Pete will be doing theirs Feb 13th https://www.facebook.com/groups/CHG.XWing/

Do the game shops decide when to hold the store championship or do they get assigned a date or something from FFG?
Edit: I am asking because when I brought this thread up to my FLGS they told me they still havent heard from FFG on when to hold it.

They choose their own date. The only restriction from FFG is it must be in January, February or March.
Ideally your region's stores will coordinate so that they don't overlap to maximize the attendance at all of them.

Yes, I've had stores tell me they are waiting for FFG to tell them the date before as well, usually you're just talking to someone who doesn't know any better.
Thanks for posting this. I doubt I'll be able to participate but you helped me find a local shop that sells more than trains and models!
So, I thought I'd look up a few dates for places near me.

This is a great tool. Any chance you can ask the mods to sticky it until SC season is over?

Glad you like it, I figured everyone was as frustrated as me about the lack of easy to find info for Store Championships. Thanks for providing your event details, saves me a lot of work!

MajorJuggler put it in the useful links thread pinned to the top, but I can ask for easier access.
Well done sir!
Game Annex in Fort Wayne, IN is January 30th.
This is one of the most valuable forum posts I have ever seen in my entire life.
Thanks a ton, and please please keep it updated during the season!
I'll be keeping the Seattle Organized Play Page updated as Store Championships get scheduled.
Very cool thank you sir.
Area 51, Wasilla, Alaska is January 30th. MJ's in Wasilla (or Palmer?), Alaska is March 5th.
More updates, added some stores that posted events over the weekend and turned the completed stores pins blue. Also if they posted their results to List Juggler I added a link to that in as well.
