We're excited to share with you all the first details for FFTCG 2024 Organized Play in North America! Keep in mind much of what is presented here is preliminary information, and this page will be updated as more details (such as dates, ticket links, and prizing) are confirmed, so please keep an eye here and on social media where we will share updates and news!

This year we have done our best to align tournament and prizing structure between the North American and European competitions so players will have opportunities to compete for the same prizes across the season. Due to the number countries within the region, there are still some differences between the North American and European events. We are hoping North American players will look forward to what we have planned for this year!

North American Championship

September 21st and 22nd at Embassy Suites in El Segundo, California.

Updated 9/13/2024: This event will require players to have two decks made, where they cannot share cards between their two decks. On day 1, 100 players will be participating in seven (7) best of 3 Swiss Rounds, with the top 16 players moving on to day 2.

There will be 60 players from Local Qualifiers, 32 Players from Materia Cups, and 4 players from the Last Chance Qualifier on the first day of the event.

In line with our announcement from last year, we will continue to extend an invitation to the winner of the North American Championship to the following year’s event. This year, we’d like to additionally invite our top three North American players from the 2023 World Championship.

As such, this year’s invited players are:

2023 North American Champion - Ryan Chen

Top 3 NA Players from 2023 World Championship – Hunter Nance, Will Coghill, Mike Powell

These players may play throughout the Competitive Season; however, their North American Championship qualification will pass down at Materia Cups and Local Qualifiers.

World Championship
