Introduction
The NA WS WGP is a continent-spanning tournament season, the winner of which represents the entire region at the Worlds in Japan!
Players from all over compete in Shop Qualifiers in their area. Top players from there (and attendees of the Last Chance Qualifier) qualify for the National Event in Rochester, NY to compete for glory! Winner for WS (and 2nd place!) receive a trip to Japan - airfare and hotel accomodations - for their Worlds run!
Prizing:
A special Overseas PR is available for each attending player signed in on Bushi Navi that attends the event.
First place player will also receive a playmat.
Images coming soon. (if Bushiroad changes prizing, we are not responsible for providing the PRs / playmat currently in discussion)
For Players:
The WGP will be using Bushi Navi this year. To enter, you are required to make a Bushi Navi account on the Global (english) Bushi Navi app / website.
Website link: https://www.en.bushi-navi.com/
App information: search "bushi navi global" in your preferred app store
Translations are not required. Full knowledge of your cards' abilities is required.
A Bushi Navi decklist on the Global server is required.
Players may play in events if they already have an invitation.
Players that receive invites MUST respond within 72 hours to a Google Form given by the organizer to confirm their information and attendance. If they do not receive the form they should contact HotC to get the form completed. Failure to do so and complete the form within one week may forfeit the invitation.
Update: The Shop Qualifiers are below! Sign up on Bushi Navi, put your decklist on Bushi Navi, and participate in the events! Read these rules first, though!
Player Rules
You will have to confirm to your Shop Qualifier that you have read these rules. If you end up not following them (for example, not responding to an HotC email or text to confirm your invite), you could lose your invite, and show up to Nationals without a spot. Read these, it's important.
Also: we don't know when the Navi tourneys will go up. Keep checking. Stores don't know, we don't know. If for some reason it never goes up, contact that store to sign up in an alternate way.
1: You have to have a Bushi Navi account on the Global Bushi Navi app to participate. Don't wait until you get to the qualifier to make one.
2: Your decklist has to be registered on your account as well. Don't wait until you get to the qualifier to make one.
3: If you win a qualifying spot, the TO will give you a link to a form to fill out. Fill this out immediately. If you don't get a link, let us know via email ASAP. If you don't fill it out, and don't get a hold of us via email, you will lose your invite. If you don't get a link, email us at  with the subject as "contacting for 2025 WGP invite". Making this contact is required.
4: Yes, people with invites already can still play. Yes, you have to tell the TO if you already have an invite. Yes, invites pass down if the people who win invites already have one. No, you can't throw games if you have an invite to mess with the standings, that's standings manipulation and you will lose your invite for it. Either play your best or don't play.
5: The qualifier may have an entry fee. We tell shops that they should let us know if their entry fee is over $10 because it might have an effect on their approval. We will attempt to update pricing info on this page, but things change and this site may not be up to date, check with the stores themselves. For details on cost, check the Bushi Navi listing and contact the location.
For Organizers:
There is now a minimum size limit. Events require 8 players minimum to run.
Please promote and prepare your playerbase accordingly. If it fails to run, invitations and/or PRs may not be available to that event.
Applications are closed.
Rules:
35 min rounds, Swiss to 1 or less undefeated (max 6 rounds min 3 rounds). Physical translations slips are NOT needed. Staff must have access to HotC translations and general translation applications to resolve issues. Top 2 (and in some cases 4) players that do not already have invitations receive invitations to this years WGP Nationals.
Omitting translation of a card in a public zone when asked if it is relevant can be considered cheating, and players must explain their cards when asked, and all possible public changes must be explained when asked for a number. (Don't be sneaky with wordings.) Failure to uphold a modicum of civility and fairness can be penalized. (Don't be impolite.)
Tournament entry is not limited to those without invites. All players may enter. Should a player with an invitation rank highly enough to be in the top, they are skipped over for the invitation and it "passes down" to the next player without an invitation.
Player Registration:
Player Registration will open approximately Sept 10 on Bushi Navi. Please have a Bushi Navi account prepared. If you don't see the location listed, see the Player Rules.
