Tantrix Tournament Champions

	TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONS By 1999, the Tantrix community had grown large enough to require a dedicated tournament to find and crown the official World Champion. In addition to the innaugural World Tantrix Championship, the year also saw the first three continental tournaments online. Together, the four tournaments drew 82 players. From there, tournament popularity spread quickly. The first national championship took place in 2000 in New Zealand. Great Britain took table tournaments a step forward by holding the first ever Table Open in 2002. By 2007 there were twenty four tournaments covering both online and table play. They included world, continental and national championships, juniors, masters, and doubles. The number of tournament entrants had increased almost ten-fold in less than ten years. Below you will find the listings of the top three finishers in every tournament ever held. Maybe it will inspire you to sign up for one.
