National Championship tournaments were held annually in Germany from 1995 through to 2011[1][2] The winner of these events was named German Champion. That player also headed the national team at that years' World Championship, with the runner-up and semifinalists making up the rest of the team.[3]

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