Tournament Sanctioning

MAKE IT OFFICIAL

You’re a director and you want to direct a CoCo tournament - great! Getting your tournament sanctioned as an official CoCo event is easy. Step one, make sure your tournament meets the guidelines. Step two, tell us about your tournament by submitting the Tournament Sanctioning Form below.

GUIDELINES

Submit your tournament sanctioning request as far in advance as possible. The more notice, the more players will try to go!
Minimum number of games: 3
Minimum venue capacity: 6 players. Your tournament can proceed with a minimum quorum of 4 if only 4 players sign up.
We strongly encourage directors to offer the highest capacity possible for their venues.
There are currently no geographic or date restrictions. The CoCo will revisit this policy periodically and update it as appropriate. Directors will find it easier to maximize attendance when they avoid conflicting with other scheduled tourneys.

TOURNAMENT SANCTIONING FORM

Use this form to request sanctioning and to submit the information that you would like to appear on your CoCo tournament webpage. If you would like to submit a photo of your venue’s city to appear on your tournament’s webpage, upload your photo here.
