What is pro tour?
It’s a series of competitions organized and supervised by ProTour committee. In these competitions players can win standard prizes but what’s more important is reaching the finals. Players that reach finals will directly compete for spots in Shadow Era’s World Championship 2021 (explained below in the ruling section).
Format of the competition.
There will be several tournaments labeled as PT during 2020 and each one of them will grant points for the PT point board. The better you do in this tournament, the more points you’ll get taking in count special rules that will be explained later on this same thread.
How to sign up for these year’s PT? As simple as looking for any tournament with a PT label in the Shadow Era forum and follow the signing up rules of each of these. You won’t need to do anything else (just an advice: try to use the same IGN every time or in case of changing it, update your IGN when you sign up for a new tournament).
Pointing System.
Each player will win 1 point per round won in a PT Tournament, understanding round for each opponent faced in a match (exceptions will be explained later on ). But this is just the standard pointing and there will be bonus points that we explain below.
() round wins. It can be different depending on the format of the tournament (for example group stages or swiss). This is just an approximation only.
In cases where a tournament is missing one person or two maximum to qualify for a bigger pointing (major to grand for example). It will be allowed to add up to 2 byes so the event reaches the minimum number except in pop ups.
How to host a PT event?
The organizer must reply to this thread asking for approval. A PT Committee member will contact the post owner to ask for the format of the competition. Committee will decide if the tournament will get the PT label and tell the organizer about it. About the new auto tournaments tool, only Pop ups are suitable for now due to the tool's limitations.
PT committee has the last word on every decision. No player can be banned by the organizer from a PT event, only committee has that power. No cards or decks are banned unless they are in an official ban list.
PT Finals
Top 32 of the scoreboard at the end of 2020 will be invited to play finals in January 2021.
Format will be 5 rounds swiss to be played in one day where top 4 will get the following prizes:
1st place 200$ + wc ticket
2nd place 100$ + wc ticket
3rd place 50$ + wc ticket
4th place wc ticket
Rules can be changed during the year to improve the competition, there will be an announcement before any change is made official.
Any questions should be posted in this thread or contact a PT member.
