Retailers and conventions across the United States and Canada are and will be hosting North American Catan Championship Qualifiers throughout the end of 2010 and the first six months of 2011. The winners of these qualifier tournaments will attend Gen Con Indy in 2011 to compete in the NACC Tournament; the winner of the NACC Tournament will receive an invitation to attend the 2012 Worldwide Catan Championship tournament.
