National Championship tournaments were held annually in Serbia starting in 2000, originally under the name of Yugoslavia. In 2004, this changed to Serbia and Montenegro, and then simply Serbia from 2007 to 2011, and 2017 to 2018.[1][2] The winner of these events was named National Champion and headed the national team at that years' World Championship.

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

National Championships (2000 to 2011)

National team members for the World Championships, where known, are marked in bold.

  • Between 2001 and 2006, and 2008 to 2010, teams consisted of three players. The two losing semi-finalists would play off for 3rd place. 4th place still received an invitation as an Alternate. (Italicised)
  • In 2007, teams had 4 players.[3]
  • In 2011, the Serbian Nations was open entry and consequently only the winner went to Worlds, not a full team.[4]

Invitations could be formally declined and would be offered in turn to the next player in the standings.

Note: An asterisk (*) after a player's name indicates their exact placing is unknown.
