The first WAIT tournament will take place in Welland, Ontario on July 4,2026. This is not an "Open Tournament" as it is restricted to a select group of outstanding players by invitation.
Eleven of the sixteen invited players have represented their countries as qualifying champions at the Wizard World Championship. Consequently the field of players is more accomplished than that at any previous tournament. The field will include Mario Phenix, the defending 2025 Champion.
Players are travelling considerable distances to play in this monumental event. Only 6 are from Ontario. Others will come from Quebec, the USA and Europe. Ken Fisher, the creator of "Wizard" will be in attendance along with his wife Joan. The President of "U.S. Games Systems" Ricardo Cruz will also be in attendance. Carles Rodon will organize and manage the game play. A celebratory dinner with presentations will follow the tournament.The 2026 tournament is intended to be the first of an annual event.
