How qualification works

  • National path: Finish in the top 10 on the season leaderboard.
  • Bracket path: Finish in the top 3 within your age bracket (Junior, Youth, Senior, or Masters).
  • Minimum activity: At least 10 ranked games in the season.
  • You can qualify through either path — or both. Bracket finalists compete for bracket crowns; national qualifiers join the grand championship broadcast.
