Pathway to the Worlds
May 1, 2022
By Nic Francois
The pathway to the 2022 World Championships in Las Vegas is paved with hard work, fun, sportsmanship and several upcoming TOC tournaments.
SSUSA officials confirmed that the 2022 World Championships will be returning to Las Vegas for the 9th year. SSUSA, which has run major tournaments in Las Vegas for the past two decades, has already lined up numerous fields, host hotels, and sponsorships for Sept. 15 through Oct. 2.
Last year’s 2021 World Championships was record breaking with 650 teams representing 40 states, Guam and two Canadian provinces. The championship took 15 days for 2,103 games across 35 divisions on nine fields.
Officials are expecting an even bigger turnout for this year’s World Championships as the country eases up Covid-19 restrictions and more people are ready to return from quarantine.

The ISA Senior World is the last TOC Qualifier tournament that leads us into the Eastern National Championships and the Western National Championships.
Teams must play in a qualifier during the 2022 season to secure a qualifying roster for the either of the National Championships. Winners of both National Championships play each other in U.S. National Championship Game at the World Championships in Las Vegas this September.
After the Eastern and Western National Championship games, our late Summer TOC Qualifiers will lead us to the long awaited 2022 World Championships. See you there.
