WPN Qualifier Event Details
Are you a Wizards Play Network (WPN) store looking to host a Qualifier event? Join Canada’s Premier Play System and give your players a chance to qualify for the Regional Championship and beyond.
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. Sealed Deck events must be the most recent Standard legal set, or the most recent supplementary set (Masters sets, remastered sets, etc.) so long as the set is designed to be played in a Limited format.
- 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.
- 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.
The winner of a Regional Championship Qualifier hosted by a WPN store will also earn a round one bye at an upcoming Super Qualifier at the F2FTour!
