About the Challengers Cup
Built by the Community, Fueled by Passion
Built by the Community
The Challengers Cup didn’t start as just another tournament, it began as a dream. We set out with a simple but powerful goal: to build an event that the 40K community truly wanted – an experience crafted by the people, for the people.
With the support of teams from across the country, we formed a core group whose shared vision brought the Challengers Cup to life. These dedicated clubs and their leaders played an active role in shaping every part of the event, ensuring it reflected the spirit and values of our community.
This is the largest eight-person team tournament in the U.S., bringing together eight of each club’s top players to compete for something greater than just victory. While it’s fiercely competitive, the Challengers Cup honors more than just match results — we celebrate painting, team spirit, and the collective passion behind each club. Beyond the players on the tables, every member of each club is recognized and welcomed at our event.
