Eligibility:
Players who already hold invitations to a Pro Tour event may not compete in individual-format Qualifier tournaments that feed into that Pro Tour event. Any team (qualified or not) may play in any 3-person team or two-headed giant-format Qualifier.
Pro Tour Qualifier Eligibility and the Pro Player Club
Players with a Pro Tour Players Club level 3 or higher are not allowed to participate in Pro Tour Qualifiers. Exception is made for any qualifier which awards an invitation to a Pro Tour in a subsequent Tournament Season. In this case only players whose current Player of the Year standing is currently less than the level 3 requirement are eligible to participate in a Pro Tour Qualifier.
Time:
Registration begins at 8:30 AM with the tournament starting promptly at 10:00 AM.
Registration closes ten minutes before the event is scheduled to start. Any player who wants to enroll after registration has closed will be able to do so, but will receive a round one match loss. Players arriving after round two has been paired will not be able to enroll in the tournament.
Tournament Format:
Extended. Legal sets and the most recent version of the ban list may be found in the Magic Floor Rules on the Wizards of the Coast website.
Tournament Structure:
Modified swiss with a cut to the top 8 players. The number of rounds will be based on number of players in the event. This tournament has a K-Value of 32 and will be run under REL 3.
Entry Fee:
$25.00 - Credit cards are not accepted at the event site. Anyone wishing to use a credit card to pay for their tournament entry must preregister. Please remember that preregistration closes on the Thursday before the event at 9:00 AM.

The first 16 amateurs to drop from the event will be given free entry into one of two FREE booster drafts. Prize distribution for these drafts will be 5/3/2/2. This replaces the 18 packs given to the top 4 amateurs outside the top 8. These booster drafts will be sanctioned.
Side Events:
We will be running eight player single elimination booster drafts (prize payout 5/3/2/2) and constructed tournaments (prize payout one box). Both the booster draft and constructed tournaments cost $13.00 to enter.
Trading:
While trading is fine, please note that buying/selling cards with anyone except for our authorized dealer(s), or solicting to do so elsewhere, is strictly forbidden at this event. Failure to obey this rule may result in both the buyer and the seller being removed from the event without refund, and banned from attending future events.
