WPN Program

Are you a Wizards Play Network (WPN) store looking to host a Regional Championship Qualifier? You’ve come to the right place. 

Qualifiers are a great way for you, Canada’s Local Game Stores (LGSs) to participate in Canada’s Premier Play System. A player’s journey to the Pro Tour and World Championship should always begin at their LGS.

Rounds

Qualifier events take place during Rounds, which are two to four month qualifying periods prior to the Regional Championship (RC). Qualifiers can be held anywhere in Canada.

Round 6 Qualifiers
January 6, 2024 – March 24, 2024 – Standard/Sealed Deck

Players will compete in these Qualifiers for an invitation to the Regional Championship of that Round. 

Here are the dates and locations for the upcoming Regional Championships. There is one Regional Championship per Round.

Round 6 (Format: Standard)

Qualifiers: Event Basics

  • Entry Fee: WPN Partners may charge an appropriate entry fee for their communities. We are able to provide suggestions on effective structures upon request.
  • Format: The format of the Qualifier must match the format of the Regional Championship for that Round, or be Sealed Deck.
  • Number of Players: WPN Partners must have the space for at least 16 players. The Qualifier events require 8 or more players to launch. If there are exactly 8 players, the event must be single elimination. If there are fewer than 8 players, the event fails to launch. Following the Swiss rounds, your playoff cut will depend on the format and attendance. For 17+ players, you will always cut to the top 8. For a constructed event with 9-16 players, you will run 5 rounds with a cut to top 4. For a Sealed event with 9-16 players, you will run 4 rounds with a cut to a top 8 draft. 
  • Prizes: We encourage WPN Partners to create exciting and enticing prize structures. The details of prize structures are at the discretion of each WPN Partner. 
  • Rules Enforcement: As these events require decklists, they must be run at the Competitive Rules Enforcement level. WPN Partners are expected to have adequate tournament officials to ensure a safe, fun, and fair event. We strongly suggest a Level 2 or higher judge. 
  • Scalability: All stores are welcome to run one Qualifier per Round. If a WPN Partner would like to run an event larger than the WPN Kits can support, or wish to run more than one Qualifier in a Round, we invite them to contact F2F for scaling opportunities. These will be treated on a case-by-case basis. 
  • Invites: All invites in your Kit must be used in one event and given to the winner (Base Kit) or top four players (Plus Kit). Invites cannot be used as door prizes or split across multiple events.
