Time is running out to punch your ticket to the Modern Regional Championship in October! We’re excited to announce the full slate of Last Chance Qualifiers for 2026-27 Round 1, hosted by WPN Partners across the country. Each event awards invites to the top four, so if you haven’t locked in your spot yet, you’ve still got time.
