The Gathering Junior Super Series Championship is the grand finale of more than 100 preliminary competitions held nationwide over the past twelve months.

The tournaments provide a fantastic opportunity for players to meet fellow Magic players and make lasting friendships with people from all corners of the globe. The Gathering trading card game was developed by award-winning game designer and mathematician Richard Garfield. In this intense game of strategy, players battle to reduce each other's score from 20 to 0 through a series of attack and defense moves, using cards with varying numerical values. These illustrated cards depict fantastic monsters and imaginative worlds. Helping both amateur and professional Magic players track their rankings, the DCI staff currently sanctions more than 60,000 Magic tournaments around the world per year.
