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

History

Early events were held at the LinCon convention in Linköping each year. Linköping is a small historic city located roughly halfway between Sweden's two main centres of Stockholm and Gothenburg. The scheduling changes introduced with the 2005 Pro Tour Season meant that National Championships would need to be held later in the year, so tournaments were moved to other cities from 2005 onwards.

Leon Lindbäck was "ejected" from the 1997 tournament after the final round of Swiss due to an incorrect deck list. That year was the only time the Swedish Nationals had cut to a Top 4, and his final standing would have otherwise put him through. Instead, he was recorded as finishing in 5th place, which pushed 5th seed Nikolai Weibull into the semifinals. Weibull would win that match, and then the grand final too, becoming Sweden's 1997 National Champion.[3]

From 1998 through to 2003, the Top 8 players would also receive invitations for that year's European Championship.

Unofficial Championships

Between 2012 and 2016, the national championship system was changed, and the title Swedish Champion was instead awarded to the Swede with the most Pro Points in a given Pro Tour season. The other three spots on the national team for the World Magic Cup were chosen in three separate qualifier tournaments.

The Swedish community ran its own unofficial National Championship tournaments during this time period. These we organised by Svenska Magic and echoed the formatting of previous official events with a mix of Standard and Booster Draft rounds over two days. Previous Champions, Hall of Famers, and other highly ranked pros were offered free entry to ensure a high level of competition.

The first event was held in 2014, returning to LinCon after 10 years.[4] The final would be at Gothenburg's GothCon in 2017. Because the unofficial championships that year had already been scheduled before Wizards of the Coast announced that formal Nationals were being reinstated, organisers decided to go ahead with their existing plans.[5]

The winners of the four annual events held were Simon Davidsson[6], Conn Desax[7], Olle Råde[8] and Jonas Friberg[9].

National Championships (1995 to 2011)

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

  • Between 1997 and 2000, and in 2007, teams had 4 players.[10]
  • Between 2001 and 2006, and 2008 to 2011, 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)

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