Feb 13, 2020: The 2020 Regional Invitationals Locations List! (And Continental Championships Criteria!)

After reviewing applications from over 600 communities, we are proud to announce the official locations list for 2020 Regional Invitationals! In just over six weeks, the fiercest competitors across 305 regions in more than 60 countries and 6 continents will face off in their most intense contest yet!

The Arena Team has worked very hard reviewing each application to provide an Invitational in as many regions as possible. Locations were selected from a variety of factors, including local competitors numbers, location centrality, and whether communities in the area applied to host! While we could only select about half of the total applicants, we are appreciative of each Organizer that was willing to volunteer to host in their areas.

Hosts will receive an update on their application status via a notification the next time they log into silph.gg. Accepted hosts will be given a link to their Regionals dashboard, where they will find valuable resources to aid in their planning, as well as a link to their Regional Invitational tournament page.

Curious to see where your nearest Regional Invitational will be hosted? Head to the Regionals Map or check the list at the bottom of the page!

Remember: Competitor invitations will be sent out in the beginning of March. Battle hard over the next few weeks to secure your spot!

Looking Ahead to the Continental Championships!

The strongest competitors will receive their invitation to Regionals in a few weeks, but only a few will continue on to the Continental Championships this summer. Here’s how you can qualify for a Continental invitation:

REGIONAL CHAMPIONS: The Champion from each Regional invitational will earn an invite to the Continental Championships. TOP COMPETITORS FROM LARGE REGIONALS: Regionals with more than 32 competitors will earn a second Continental invite. Additional invites can be earned for every 16 more competitors at the Invitiational:

# of Competitors Invites Earned 33-48 1 additional invite 49-64 2 additional invites 65-80 3 additional invites 81-96 4 additional invites TOP YOUR NATIONAL LEADERBOARD: The #1 competitor on each National Leaderboard will earn an invite. Note: National Leaderboard qualifiers will be vetted and may be required to provide proof of eligibility before qualifying for this invite. Those found attempting to misrepresent themselves will face punitive action. GLOBAL RANK CUTOFF: A (very) small number of competitors above a certain rank on the Global Leaderboard will earn an invite. WIN AN OPEN QUALIFIER TOURNAMENT: The Arena will be hosting Open Qualifiers before each Continental Championships and the winner will be awarded an invite. CONQUER A BATTLE TOWER: Winners of special Battle Tower tournaments will earn an invite.

The road to becoming the World Champion is rocky and perilous. Who will ascend into legend and prove themselves the very best? There are many paths to the Championships, prepare yourself and we’ll see you at the summit!
