What Events Will Be Running & The Finals
Qualifying for the National Tabletop League (NTL) Finals is no small feat, but it’s what every 8-man team aspires to achieve. Here’s how you can secure your place in this epic showdown:
The Direct Route: Event Champions
The most straightforward path to the NTL Finals is to emerge as the champions in one of our 17 action-packed events. The victorious team of each event instantly punches their ticket to the finals. These champions have not only claimed their event’s glory but have also paved their way to the grand stage of the NTL Finals, where they will face the best of the best from across North America.
Consistency Pays Off: The NTL Ranking System
As an 8-man team league, the NTL offers numerous opportunities for teams to earn their spot in the finals. For those who haven’t claimed victory in a single event, don’t despair; your journey is far from over. Our NTL Ranking System ensures that consistency, dedication, and skill are rewarded.
The teams that perform with exceptional consistency throughout the season rise to the top of the NTL standings. It’s not just about winning one event; it’s about proving your team’s prowess over the long haul. The top-ranking teams in the NTL standings, who have consistently showcased their abilities, secure their place in the NTL Finals.
The Best of the Best: The Finals
At the culmination of the NTL season, 20 elite 8-man teams will earn their place in the NTL Finals. One champion from each event and the cream of the crop from the NTL standings will come together to battle for the coveted NTL Finals title and championship rings.
