Catan Qualifier – Standings Update

We have had two very competitive rounds of qualifiers for the Game Point Catan Championship. The top 16 players will be invited back on February 19th to play in the semifinals and then the final game to crown the Game Point Catan Champ – who will go on to compete in the U.S. National Championship! Our final qualifier is Sunday, February 17th. Good luck to all the competitors!

The link below is to the current standings. One player had both scores in the top 16, so their lower score is filled grey as it will not count. Just a reminder: we take each person’s best score from any one of the three nights.

Catan Champ Crowned

This past weekend at Tennessee Game Days, our final four players faced off to be crowned the champ of the Game Point Catan National Championship Qualifier.  The board was tight and the game was close with multiple players near victory up until the very end.  When the dust settled, after three preliminary rounds, and a semifinal round, Justin Hornkohl (pictured far left) was the winner.  He will go on to represent us at the Origins Game Fair this summer and hopefully bring home a national title.  Good Luck Justin!
