As a reminder of the updated 2025 tournament requirements:

  • Regional (formerly Tier 1) –  Venues may submit requests to host within 8 weeks of the start date for approval
  • Local (formerly Tier 3) – Venues may submit requests to host within 4 weeks of the start date for approval

There is no limit on how many Regional or Local tournaments are hosted in a year but these will be managed to ensure they do not overlap with each other, Nationals, or WATL-hosted tournaments.
