National Championships
Years held: 1997 to 2011
2017 & 2018

National Championship tournaments were held annually in Argentina from 1997 through to 2011, then again in 2017 and 2018.[1][2] The winner of these events was named Argentinian Champion and headed the national team at that years' World Championship.

Between 2012 and 2016, the title Argentinian Champion was instead given to the Argentinian player with the highest amount of Pro Points in a particular Pro Tour season.
