The Shonen Jump Championship, often abbreviated as SJC, was a tournament series from North America that existed from December 2004 to April 2010. At the time, the SJCs were the main premier events in the US and Canada apart from the Nationals in summer.
The SJC was eventually replaced by the Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series (YCS), which exists to this day. Unlike the SJC, the YCS also includes tournaments outside of North America. As the YCS is a worldwide circuit, the amount of tournaments in North America has gone down significantly with YCSs compared to SJCs.
In 2008, 18 tournaments took place, making it the calendar year with the most SJCs. In 2009 and 2010, there were significantly fewer SJCs, likely as a result of an ongoing lawsuit between Konami and Upper Deck Entertainment.
The record for most SJC wins of a single player is held by Fili Luna, who won four of the tournaments. The player who topped the most SJCs is Adam Corn, with 16 tops to his name.
