Store Championships create a local route toward Area Finals
The Season 2 program brings Regionals-level prestige and prizing to selected stores, while TCG+ handles player entry and defines invitation eligibility.
World Championship 26-27 Store Championships Season 2 links local Digimon Card Game events to Championship Area Finals invitations for leading players, with allocations determined by attendance. Players will find and enter their preferred Store Championships through Bandai TCG+ after registration opens, subject to the stated regional account restriction on Finals invites.
Local stakes, scaled invitations
The program positions Store Championships at selected local game stores, carrying the prestige and prizing associated with Regionals. Its competitive link is specific: leading players receive invitations to the Championship Area Finals, and the number available depends on event participation. That makes attendance part of the published invitation structure rather than merely an operational detail for each store.
Registration runs through one service
Bandai TCG+ is the entry point for players. Once registration begins, they can locate Store Championships and submit an application for the event they choose. The application also supports nearby-store discovery, event registration, attendance and pairing checks, deck building and statistics, placing both tournament entry and on-site information within the same Bandai Card Games service. It is designed as a one-stop application across those functions.
Account geography limits Finals invites
The account rule narrows who can receive Finals invitations: awards are limited to TCG+ accounts in North America and Europe. This eligibility condition sits alongside a separate allocation rule for Championship Area Finals invitations, which go to leading players in quantities based on participant numbers. Players therefore need to distinguish account eligibility from the attendance-based distribution described for top finishes.
Organizers follow a separate route
Store organizers have a separate application route. The notice directs them to use the Questionnaire in their TCG+ Organizer Account, identified as Bandai TCG Event Manager Web, and complete the application by the deadline. For players, event discovery and registration remain on Bandai TCG+, creating distinct platform instructions for hosting an event and entering one after player registration opens.
Context
Why it matters
For competitors, the immediate task is procedural: watch Bandai TCG+ for registration, choose a Store Championship and apply through the platform. Invitation implications depend on both placement-linked attendance allocations and the explicit North America or Europe account limitation, so entry access and Finals eligibility are not presented as identical conditions.
