What Are District Championships?

District Championships replace the UKs old Regional Circuit and form the introductory level of competitive play! They are run throughout the UK by local TOs and Judges, and are a fantastic opportunity for any Netrunner player to get involved in organised play!

This year, there will be 8 total districts across the UK:

• Birmingham on the 7th of February
• Brighton on the 14th of February
• Bathgate on the 14th of March
• Ipswich on the 14th of March
• London on a TBD date in March
• Reading on the 4th of April
• Birkenhead on the 11th of April
• Bristol on the 25th of April

Prizing

This year, each District is organising it's own prizing. All will include 2026 District Championship Prize Kit by NSG, but additional prizes may vary by location.

At Birkenhead, we are pleased to offer the following additional prizes: MuslihaT - Illus. Valentine de la Rosa as an additional participation prize (if we have over 24 players everyone will get something, but not everyone will get both!) and a special shiny PD for the winner: Precision Design - Illus. Aleksandra Simonović

Format

This event will be run as a no-cut, extra swiss round event, so that will be 8 rounds of SSS.
Round 1 will start at 10.45 following a player meeting at 10.30. Lunch will be at around 2.15 and the last round will end around 6.30pm

Venue Information & Accessibility
Indigo is a neighbourhood cafe and events venue in Birkenhead. We are quickly and easily accessible from the centre of Liverpool, with trains running from Lime St and other central stations every 15 mins, arriving at Rock Ferry station just 3 mins up the road. For drivers, there is a free car park at the back of the venue (accessible from New Chester Road).

Indigo's food offering will be available beforehand and during the lunch break, including all day breakfast, sandwiches, soups and more (with veggie and vegan options available) and we have a range of soft drinks as well as a fully licensed bar. We also have a well stocked board game cupboard, should you wish to hang out either before or after the event!

Unfortunately due to the venue space being located above the cafe, we will not be able to offer step-free access. There will however be fixed seating available, in a separate, quieter side room, so please let a TO if that will be required. All bathrooms are gender neutral.

I am able to host more than a few people travelling from further afield, please get in touch if you'd need a place to stay. I know we may be a little more in the sticks than some districts but please don't let the cost of accommodation be the thing that puts you off. My parents have recently moved abroad so I literally have a whole empty house down the road I can put people up in!

Ticket Price & Maximum Capacity

The price for this event will be £17. Tickets are available here. If you are in hardship please get in touch with us and we can help you out!
Unfortunately due to venue size constraints we have a hard cap of 32 players, so get your tickets early!
