The CATAN Championship Program
Hosts are the backbone of our tournament and event program. Thank you!
When you host a CATAN Championship event, you give players the opportunity to become part of the larger CATAN Championship community, and to further their personal journey with CATAN.
A CATAN Championship Qualifier is an event that will lead to one of your players winning a guaranteed seat at the next National Championship.
Host Requirements
1. Submit a request at CATANevents.com and be approved.
Your event must appear in our official listings (both Facebook event and BCP event) to qualify a winner for Nationals. After submitting the request, make sure you send the follow-up email required to op@catanstudio.com that includes the requested event information.
2. Organize and run the Qualifier tournament
You must follow the official structure and rules as outlined in the official tournament rules document.
3. Supply all games needed
You may use older copies of the game, but all games must be the same version.
4. Order a prize kit (optional)
Retailers should speak with their Asmodee sales rep. Other hosts should seek sponsorship from a retail store. Please email op@catanstudio.com if you need assistance finding a potential sponsor.
5. Report results
If using the Best Coast Pairings tournament software, your results will be automatically submitted to CATAN Studio as long as you remember to submit the results to your circuit at the end of the event. If using BCP, you must “Submit Results” at the end of your event for results to be automatically reported. If you miss the weekly score round-up, you will need to report scores manually. Please submit immediately!
Hosts scoring manually should email op@catanstudio.com promptly following their event. Results reports must include:
- Total number of participants
- Players and their scores at the final table
- Contact information (email preferred) for all four finalists
