As we announced in our previous article for a New Agenda for 2020 Championships, NISEI will host three Continental Championships this year. The top eight competitors in each of these events will be invited to participate in the succeeding Intercontinental Championship. For this reason, we will enforce a one-event-per-person policy, so please remember this when you purchase your ticket.
Please note: these events are separate from the Online World Championship, the details for which will be announced in due time.
It has now been several months that tournaments have been held exclusively online, and we have thought long and hard about the type of improvements that Jinteki.net will require to facilitate these events. The JNet team has been working tirelessly on installing these upgrades, and we’re as excited as you are to see them in action.
Organization will take place via the Project NISEI Discord which you can join here: https://discord.gg/EpWuadb. Exact Discord procedures will be announced as the events draw closer.
For those who just wish to spectate, these events will of course be streamed – and we’ll be raffling tons of prizes off to random viewers as well! Streaming schedules coming soon.
Now that you know what and how, let’s break down dates and starting times for each event! Please visit World Time Buddy to convert the times listed below to your local time.
