Store Championships season is fast approaching. It begins May 13th and runs through August.

FFGOP provided us with a list of locations that will be holding these tournaments: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/op/events/2017-store-championships-may-august/armada/

and @Spaceman01 provided us with an awesome map of the locations: https://drive.google.com/open?id=153TfDXaVBSxKqpAjm2lw8cWxPn8&usp=sharing

Since it is up to individual stores to set their own dates for the tournaments I thought I would start a post that collected the dates of known Store Championships.

I removed them from the map.

I have added Dates to the map also. Is there anything else that should be on the map?

You're missing the Winona one in Minnesota, but that's all I've seen.

Is there usually a similar list available somewhere for other countries? I've been trying to google if there's anything in Finland at all, but I'm getting nothing. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case, just wondering.

FFG lets their European Distributor hand out Store Championship kits. So, they really don't have the list.

If it gets posted online, I will add it here.

In the uk our distributor doesnt tell us. We have to follow the facebook pages of individual shops. And of course that means only the shops we know about.

Right. That's where I've been looking, but no luck so far. I guess it's just not popular enough over here.

A Distributor will be able to tell you locations that ordered the kit , but they cannot give you Dates - because for Store Championships, it is entirely up to the Store to set their date and run it within the Time Period specified (May to August)...

So the distrib may give you locational details, but really, one way or another, you're hitting up stores.
