The two-day event begins on Saturday, April 4 with the Challenge Tournament, which will include 18 weight classes. Winners of the Challenge Tournament brackets will advance to the Final X Championship Series on Sunday where they’ll the face the weight class’ top seeds as determined by the 2020 Olympic Games Team Selection Procedures.
