Champions are the best of the best. They’re dedicated, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. It’s hard to pick just one, so we call all TOC competitors Champions.

The best part of TOC is the community. It’s not often 30 of the best players at your location are all playing at once. TOC is the ultimate community event and it’s our way of showing our appreciation for our best players.

The Tournament is played in heats of 10 Champions at a time. Each heat is 8 games with 2 rest breaks, played in a circuit rotation. Heat times are selected during the registration process. Upon arrival, Champions sign in, lock up their belongings, and get ready to compete. The Activate team will facilitate the heats carefully, and after all heats are complete, a winner is crowned.

TOC is always held in March or April. The date of your local TOC is determined toward the end of the qualifying period. Dates will be shared on this page when they are confirmed.

The games change every year and the game list for TOC is released a few weeks before the first Tournament date. The games are chosen by the Tournament Coordinator to be challenging for the best players but still beatable solo.

In order to increase your annual score, play and win levels you have not completed that year or improve scores you already have.
