Making a Statement!

All across North America – and the world! - an intense tournament series will be getting  underway this weekend, because it’s time for the 2007 State, Province, and Territory Championships! For American and Canadian fans, these tournaments will take place the weekends of March 3rd and 4th and 10th and 11th.

The State Championships are free and open to all players in good standing. Players compete in one of three age divisions: Junior (born in or after 1996), Senior (born between 1992 and 1995), or Masters (born in or before 1991). All participants will get a special promo card and commemorative pin while supplies last. Prizes are given to the top 8 finishers in each division and include EX Power Keepers boost packs, with each first place finisher receiving an invitation to the National Championships!
