Hola! As I gear up to start prepping for this season’s tournaments, I couldn’t help but notice the sheer number of them. I usually attend a couple of PTQs a season but it looks like there are still about 10 left in the Northeast area alone! To make things easier on myself and all of you readers, I’ve compiled a large majority of them into a comprehensive table.

Note: All of these events are located within an approximate 200 mile radius from New York City. Also, please double check the information listed by visiting the organizer’s website before making the journey!
