Joining the Boardgame Players Association (BPA) has several benefits, including votes for Trial Events to be run at the World Boardgaming Championships (WBC), votes for the BPA Board of Directors, and depending upon level - admission to WBC and souvenirs. Online membership, lowest level of support, allows the member to participate in online/play-by-email tournaments and is good for the duration of the tournament, but does not provide admission to WBC. Juniors registration is also available for our Juniors Program.

Additional information on Memberships can be found on the BPA Terms & Conditions page.

The next WBC will be July 26 to August 3, 2025.

If you are interested in attending, WBC, joining BPA at a level that provides admission to WBC is less expensive than purchasing admission during WBC.

Member responsibilities and Frequently Asked Questions can be found at the Member responsibilities page.

Contact the Convention Director if you have questions about the membership process or the best level of BPA membership for you.
