What is a Palworld shop tournament?
A Palworld shop tournament is an official, store-run Palworld OFFICIAL CARD GAME event sanctioned by Bushiroad. You register through the Bushi Navi app, bring a legal constructed deck, play a set number of Swiss rounds against other locals, and take home participation promos regardless of how you finish.

Who runs them
Sanctioned hobby stores run shop tournaments under Bushiroad's organized-play programme. The store sets the date, capacity and entry fee; Bushiroad supplies the prize support, the promo cards and the floor rules that judges apply.
Skill level expected
Shop tournaments are the entry rung of competitive play. Most attendees are locals with trial-deck upgrades rather than tuned netdecks, and stores frequently pair a tournament with a demo session so newcomers can learn the game the same afternoon.
Format
Standard constructed using every legal Palworld OFFICIAL CARD GAME product — Booster Pack "Dawn of Palpagos", both Dawn of Palpagos Trial Decks and released PR promos. Errata published on the official Rules page apply in shop tournaments exactly as they do at higher events.
Round structure
Small events typically run three or four Swiss rounds with no cut; larger stores add a top-four playoff. The tournament organizer publishes round count at check-in, and Bushi Navi shows your pairing and table number for each round.
What you win
Participation promos and store credit are the norm. Bushiroad also seeds limited promo cards — the Demo Caravan, for example, handed every completed-demo attendee a foiled Chillet Soul promo card plus an event flair on Bushi Navi.
