Don't Sleep on This Championship!

If you need a reminder of what is at stake, just look at our recent events. Over $230,000 in cash and prizes were awarded during FPN’s 20th Anniversary Promotions (Royal Court & Clash of Kings & Queens). We are bringing that same life-changing energy to this combined National Championship!

The only question left is...
Do you have what it takes to swim with the Sharks or capture a seat at the Captain's Table?
