WHAT IS RED BULL PROVING GROUNDS
Red Bull Proving Grounds is the name of the regional Qualifier tournaments being hosted by the best tournament organizers (TOs) across North America where amateur players can prove themselves to be best in the country to earn a seat in the Red Bull Battle Grounds bracket. The TOs own and operate their own events; Red Bull is supporting as a partner.
