LOCATION
IATF MEMBER VENUES
HOSTED BY IATF MEMBERS OVER 9 REGIONS
We've partnered with 8 IATF members to make the IATF Regionals accessible to as many competitors in as many places as possible.
No, you are not restricted to any specific regional tournament. COMPETITORS are welcome to register and throw in any single regional tournament.
Venues were selected based on their central location in their regions. We calculated the concentration of players in each region and matched that with a venue IN a central location to support the necessary size of the tournaments.
VARIABLE PRIZE POOLS
50% of all registration fees collected for each tournament will go toward the cash prize pools at that tournament. Each tournament will have a prize pool payout for the top 8 competitors.
ROUND 2 QUALIFICATION
The first place winner in each tournament will receive automatic qualification in Round 2* of the IATC 2023 Wilson Cup! Players who win a Round 2 entry must still compete in Round 1 for seeding purposes.
Yes, anyone can participate and play for the prize pools. However, players must have participated in an IATF Sanctioned League to win guaranteed qualification for Round 2 of the IATC Wilson Cup.
To be eligible for the automatic qualification for an IATC Round 2 spot, a player must have completed a qualifying IATF league between March 12, 2022, and January 28th, 2023.
IN THE EVENT THAT A NON-QUALIFYING PLAYER WINS, THE ROUND 2 ENTRY WOULD PASS ONTO THE NEXT QUALIFYING WINNER.
*qualification to Round 2 is only available to COMPITITORS who WILL have completed an IATF sanctioned league season by Jan. 28th, 2023.

THE THROW STAGE
Each competitor will throw 3 matches within the group in a 3 out of 5 round match format before any eliminations.
THE ELIMINATION STAGE
The top 2 competitors from each group move onto a single elimination bracket to crown that regions winner.
WHAT ARE THE IATF REGIONALS?
The IATF Regionals are a set of 9 tournaments held on a single day for compititors to compete in across the IATF regions.
Regionals come with the opportunity to throw with the best, win prize money, and make your name known throughout the world.
