NYCatan crew and other top competitors at 2024 US Nationals.
HOW IT WORKS
There are preliminaries on Saturday and Sunday at 9:30am. Everyone will play 3 games. This takes about 5 to 6 hours. Each day, the players are ranked. Rankings are decided first by wins, then by total score, and then by percentage of score at your table. The top 16 players overall combined from both preliminary sessions make up the Semi Finals on Sunday at 5pm. The 16 players play one game (4 players at 4 tables.). The winners of each table immediately compete in one game to determine the NYC Champion. That winner earns a spot in the 2025 US Catan National Championships (details TBD). The winner of that will compete in the World Championships in 2027 (date and location TBD).
NOTE: All participants must be residents of the United States and be 18+ years of age. You should be able to prove residency with an official ID card and/or a piece of mail (such as a utility bill) sent to a United States residential address. Winners of current season Qualifier Tournaments are not allowed to play in additional Qualifier events leading up to the next National Championship.
