Welcome to the A Game of Thrones:
The Card Game Regional Season!
This document is intended for tournament
organizers (TOs) interested in applying to host
an officially sanctioned Regional Championship
tournament during the 2012 season. This year’s
season begins April 1st and ends June 30th, 2012.
An A Game of Thrones: The Card Game Regional
Championship is a major tournament supported by
Fantasy Flight Games. A Regional Championship
can be held as a Melee (multiplayer) tournament
OR as a Joust (head-to-head) tournament OR as a
combined event featuring both formats of play.
If a combined event is run, the overall champion
(the player with the highest combined score from
both the Melee and the Joust tournament) of the
event is recognized as the Regional Champion
from that area.
The Regional Championships are an opportunity
to generate excitement and enthusiasm for A Game
of Thrones: The Card Game, to provide a competitive
environment for fans of the game, and to help
build your local A Game of Thrones: The Card
Game community.
In addition to the Regional Melee and/or the
Regional Joust Championship tournaments,
Regional Championships may also feature side
events like team tournaments, legacy tournaments,
and other original TO-hosted events. The best
Regional Championship weekends have the feel of
an A Game of Thrones: The Card Game convention.
Who can participate in the Regional
Championship tournaments?
Anyone can play in an A Game of Thrones: The Card
Game Regional Championship tournament. With
the right mixture of skill, luck, and deck-building,
anyone can win! Furthermore, any store owner or
tournament organizer interested in running
a Regional Championship tournament is

Why would I want to run or compete in a
Regional Championship event?
Running a Regional Championship event is a great
way to become the center of A Game of Thrones: The
Card Game activity in your area, expand your player
base, and showcase the game. Unlike our more
casual Game Night Kits, Regional Championships
offer a structured and competitive environment in
which players can participate. Players will want to
attend a Regional Championship event in the quest
to become a A Game of Thrones: The Card Game
Regional Champion, which is also the first step
toward becoming the A Game of Thrones: The Card
Game World Champion! Regional Champions will
be awarded a first round bye at the Fantasy Flight
Games 2012 World Championships in November.
In addition to the leg up on the field at Worlds
and the prestige that comes with being a Regional
Champion, players also compete for an assortment
• 1 Regional Champion 2012 trophy

certificate
