Frequently Asked Questions: 

How do I enter?
This is determined individually at each hosting convention, based on how they handle their events. Some conventions only have in-person sign-up forms, some use an app or website, and others use physical or electronic ticketing systems. 

If there are leftover spots for the qualifying tournaments, there will also be physical paper sign-up sheets at each tournament for last-minute sign-ups.

Please visit the convention’s website or ask a convention rep for more information! Links for each conventions’ website can be found above in the qualifying tournaments list.

Are the tournaments only in the United States?
Yes, the first-ever Doomlings National Championship is being held at U.S. locations only. However, you do not need to be a U.S. citizen to participate! Anybody from anywhere can participate, as long as you attend the convention where a qualifying tournament is being held. Be aware that if you win a qualifying tournament, that hotel and travel to the Gen Con finals will not be covered.

Are there any age restrictions?
No. Doomlings is recommended for ages 10 and up, but anyone of any age can enter a tournament! 

Is there an entry fee?
You will need to buy a badge to attend the convention on the day a qualifying tournament is being held. Other than that, Doomlings National Championship events are free at every convention, except at Gen Con: which charges a $2 fee.

Do I need to bring anything to the qualifying tournaments?
All you need to bring is your convention pass, and a form of identification. We will provide everything you need to play the game.

Will there be Doomlings expansions included in the tournaments?
All tournaments, including the final National Championship tournament at Gen Con, will be played ONLY with the base Doomlings game. There will be no additional expansions added.

What is the format for the qualifying tournaments/Gen Con finals?
Each tournament will consist of two preliminary rounds in which all participants play. The winners of the preliminary rounds will then advance to elimination play, down to the final player.

Can one person attend multiple qualifying tournaments?
Yes. But they can only qualify once (in other words, they can't win a second Gen Con badge for a companion).

Who is judging the tournaments?
Convention and event staff will be judging the tournaments.

How long will the tournaments last?
Each tournament will be about four hours long, from start to final winner.

Is travel and hotel to Gen Con covered if I win a qualifying tournament?
No, travel and hotel stays are not included. However, winners of the qualifying tournaments will win a four-day pass to Gen Con.

What is Gen Con?
For over 55 years Gen Con has been the largest and longest-running gaming convention in North America. Founded in 1967 by Dungeons and Dragons co-creator Gary Gygax, Gen Con now attracts tens of thousands of attendees from around the world to Indianapolis for “The Best Four Days in Gaming”.

When and where is Gen Con?
Gen Con is from July 31 through August 3, 2025. It is held at the Indianapolis Convention Center in Indianapolis, Indiana.
