Registration is over, and this weekend’s WCQ main event numbers are in: a record-breaking 2001 qualified competitors are in contention this weekend, each having earned the privilege to play for a shot at the World Championship in Las Vegas.

So what do 2001 of North America’s finest look like?  Here are some shots from the catwalk above the Navy Pier Festival Hall!

These were taken during the Player Meeting, which is still presently going on.  But Round 1 kicks off soon, starting with Feature Match coverage of last year’s WCQ winner and North American Champion, so stay tuned!
