Apply today to host a Store Championship!

Fantasy Flight Games is excited to announce the first major tournament season of our 2015 Organized Play schedule: Store Championships! Apply by October 3rd 23:59 CST (Central Standard Time) to join hundreds of other stores around the world in hosting a Store Championship for players in your area.

Due to the success of Store Championships last year, we are expanding Store Championships to three months in 2015. The 2015 Store Championship season will run from January 1st to March 31st, allowing stores more flexibility in their scheduling and players more chances to play in a local event larger than their weekly tournament night.

If you are a retailer outside of the United States, please contact your distributor to ask questions and apply to host a Store Championship. International applications must be submitted before October 3rd 23:59 CST (Central Standard Time) to be considered.

What Are Store Championships?

Store Championships were introduced in 2014 as an additional stage in FFG’s Organized Play Program and were a resounding success. Added to the same structure that includes premier-level events such as Regional, National, and World Championships, Store Championships are competitive-level events available to every store. These store-based events provide all players an arena to compete against other local players, share stories, and vie for the title of Store Champion.

Bragging rights are not the only thing on the line at Store Championships. The winner of each event will receive one bye at a Regional Championship of his or her choice. In addition, players that finish well in the event will receive a playmat, set of tokens, or other prizes depending on their standing at the end of the tournament. The top 32 players will each receive an alternate art card.

What Games Are Supported?

Store Championships are the centerpiece of FFG’s Organized Play in local stores and attract players from all around the local area. Each store that is approved to host a Store Championship will have the opportunity to purchase an event kit containing prizes and support for hosting your event. Follow the links listed below to see what’s included in each kit and apply to host a Store Championship for each game.

Are You a Player?

If you’re a player, you can do your part by telling your favorite local game store about Store Championships. If you’re interested in taking a more active role in bringing Organized Play events to your store, here are some other ways you can promote Fantasy Flight OP:
