National Championship tournaments were held annually in the Philippines from 1996 through to 2011, then again in 2017 and 2018.[1][2] The winner of these events was named Filipino Champion and headed the national team at that years' World Championship.
Between 2012 and 2016, the title Philippines National Champion was instead given to the Filipino player with the highest amount of Pro Points in a particular Pro Tour season.
