The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe North American Qualifier 2023 was a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe open tournament held in the Nintendo Free Play Area at PAX East 2023 on March 25, 2023. The tournament consisted of two separate events which, along with the online-held Mario Kart 8 Deluxe North American Qualifier 2022, decided a number of contestants who would go on to participate in the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Championship Cup 2023. In order to participate in either event, attendants had to first reserve a Warp Pipe Pass.
Overview[edit]
Starting with 144 players, each event consisted of three rounds that would gradually narrow down the number of competitors to 12. The format of an event was as follows:[1]
- the first round consisted of 3 phases, each of which divided competitors into 4 groups dubbed "Group A", "Group B", "Group C", and "Group D". After 4 races, the top 4 players of each group advanced to the second round.
- in the second round, the top 4 players from the groups sharing the same designation across round 1's phases competed against each other (i.e. the top 4 players of Groups A from each of the three phases competed against each other etc.) After 4 races, the top 3 players of each group advanced to the third round.
- in the third round, the top 3 players of each group in round 2 competed against each other. The top 3 players by the end of the event were determined the Grand Prize Winners, while the other players who competed in round 3 were determined the First Prize Winners.
