NAQT China Championships

The NAQT China Championships were begun in 2021 by NAQT, in collaboration with Chinese education company SKT. To qualify for the Chinese final, players need to play and perform well in the NAQT China Qualification Tournament. The tournament has two divisions: "pre" and "pro."

2022 Result

Controversy

The NAQT China tournament does not publish its statistics. Also, the unreasonable pricing made the tournament controversial. In 2022, the fee for China Championships is 3980 RMB per person, which is about 570 dollars per person assuming a one-to-seven RMB to USD exchange ratio. Also, the playoff of the tournament uses a single-elimination system.
