The 2025 AC World Championship Qualifier is happening from October 14 to 16 at the National Croquet Center in West Palm Beach, Florida. This event gives players a chance to earn one of at least four spots to compete in the 2025 AC World Championship. There’s a limit of 24 players, and you can sign up directly through the USCA’s WCF AC World Qualifier entry site. The tournament will be played as a Swiss format over 8 or 9 rounds, though this could change if there are a lot of open spots. If you’ve already been invited to the main Championship, you won’t be able to play in the Qualifier, and everyone entering should plan to play in the main event if they qualify.

On July 14, if more than 24 people have entered, spots will be given out based on the players’ most recent official DGrade ranking, with the rest going on a waiting list. If there aren’t enough players by then, everyone who’s entered will get a spot, and more entries will be accepted in the order they’re received until the event is full. There will be a beverage station on site, and lunch will be available for purchase. The event will be held at the National Croquet Center, 700 Florida Mango Road, West Palm Beach, FL. Come join the fun and compete for your chance to play on the world stage!
