Title: Ptq questions
Post by: ibtrickey on October 13, 2014, 01:29:21 PM
I have some ptq questions.
I want to know how you go about finding them?
And I saw that in December they will be adding a Preliminary Pro tour qualifier to the path to the pro tour. But how does one go about finding where they are held? And I am looking for only modern. It got a little confusing for me.
Thank you

How many games or rounds are there for ptq?
And if you qualify under one format does that mean you only qualify for that formats pro tour?

# of rounds depends on attendance. Winning a ptq will qualify you for the corresponding next pro tour. The formats do not need to match.

When do we switch over to the PTQQ and Regional PTQ thing?

You only go to Regional PTQ by winning the a Pre-PTQ. There are going to be a few hundred PPTQs, and of those winners they have to win AGAIN at the RPTQ to make it to protour. Because of that, you have to grind PPTQs to until you win.

{Liliana of the Veil} Promo is for Regional PTQ participants. That is worth driving to if you won a PPTQ.

Ptqs are fun. I suggest going. You just sign up when you get there. And if you scrub out early there should be some side events to play in.

local-level Preliminary PTQs, which begin in December of 2014; winners of these events will move on to Regional PTQs, which will earn top players invitations and airfare to the Pro Tour starting with the July/August 2015 Pro Tour.

Are there pros in Oklahoma? And if I top 8 (because some divine being struck down my opponents), what happens? Where is the pro tour going to be? And they just pay for my flight there?

Only the top seed gets invited and airfare if you come second you just get a bunch of sealed prizes
