National Championships
Years held: 1995 to 2011
2017 & 2018

National Championship tournaments were held annually in Norway from 1995 through to 2011, then again in 2017 and 2018.[1][2] The winner of these events was named Norwegian Champion and headed the national team at that years' World Championship.

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