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
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.
