Descrizione King of Carcassonne Championship Club
Since Carcassonne is brought into BGA in late 2016, the King of Carcassonne championship series is set up with an initiative to bring in online worldwide Carcassonne tournaments designed for literally everybody, across all timezone, especially those can't go physically to the official World Championship for whatever reason.
After initial trial and error, currently there are 3 tournaments that are running regularly every year, and occasionally other tournaments are held as well.
Out of the 3 tournaments, the first 2 are open to everyone, and thanks to the love of Carcassonne community, they are some of the biggest tournaments in BGA.
1. King of Carcassonne World Championship - Swiss system format that usually starts at Jan
2. King of Carcassonne World Cup - Single Elimination format.
(In 2021 edition, it has attracted a record high of 482 players, going close to 512, the upper limit of places available in BGA for tournaments in this format. So starting from 2022, the Groups Stage format is employed. Using Single Elimination in both stage 1 and 2 to keep the whole tournament in Single Elimination format essentially, the number of participant can theoretically increase to 1,000,000. The tournament also moves from August to July)
The first two tournaments, in their high prestige on their own, also act as qualification to the 3rd and ultimate tournament
3. King of Carcassonne Tournament of Champions - Round Robin format in which the winner is crown the King of Carcassonne of the year!
Currently the Tournament of Champions is divided into 3 divisions, normally you have to reach the required standard (see below) in one or both tournament(s) in the same year to qualify. Additionally, a place is given to the defending overall champion and the winner of Carcassonne Champions League (CCL).
Format
Standard A, B and C players enter the tournament in different divisions and players from lower divisions can try to promote to higher divisions.
The overall winner of the Tournament of Champions, is the winner Division 1

Regarding the timing of Tournament of Champions, Division 3 will start after the King of Carcassonne World Cup ends and each higher division will follow after the lower division ends so that the top ranked players from lower division can enter a higher division.
