This event to close out the 2023-2024 NAFT Season and kick off the 2024-2025 season will be held June 7-9 at Dragon\u2019s Lair North in Houston, Texas! When the NAFT was originally conceived, the plan was to have the Championship event occur at its own event outside of a convention and to host two concurrent GTs\u2013the \u201cMaster\u2019s Invitational Championship\u201d where the top-ranked players from each conference are invited to face-off to become the NAFT Champion and the \u201cNAFT Black Joker Open\u201d where players who weren\u2019t quite lucky enough to qualify for the championship invitational get to compete to win the first tournament of the new season.<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s\">The idea behind the side by side tournaments is to ensure the maximum level of competition in the Master\u2019s Invitational while simultaneously allowing players to plan and make travel arrangements before they know if they are high enough in their conference standings to earn an invitation. This dual format also allows less experienced players who know they won\u2019t qualify for the invitational the opportunity to compete in an event where they know they won\u2019t run into the top tier players who are busy beating each other up in the Invitational!<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s\">Both events will be 2-day, 50ss fixed faction Gaining Grounds 4 tournaments and take place starting on Saturday, June 8 and ending Sunday, June 9.
