TOURNAMENT STRUCTURE
The structure for qualifier tournaments feeding Pro Tour Return to Ravnica will be modified Swiss-style, with top players after the Swiss rounds playing in a single-elimination playoff for prizes and invitation(s).

PLAYOFF
• Playoff matches will be best 2 of 3.
• Playoff matches will be single-elimination.
• While there are no time limits in the playoff rounds, players are expected to play at a reasonable pace and finish their matches within 60 minutes.
• Where necessary, the standings after the Swiss rounds will still be used to determine final order in the standings.
• For the first game of each playoff match, the player who finished higher in the Swiss rounds chooses either to play first or to play second. For subsequent games in each playoff match, the usual Play/Draw rule applies (loser of the previous game decides whether to play first in the next game).

PRIZES
• The winner of this event will receive an invitation and travel award (see WotC) to Pro Tour: Return to Ravnica in Seattle, WA.
• Other prizes will be announced in the coming weeks.
