 Realm Qualifier tournaments will qualify players for their Realm Championship. Each event will offer players the chance to accumulate Realm Points to earn a spot in the Realm Championship. In addition to the main event, each Realm Qualifier will host Booster Draft Challenges as often as there are enough people to run a Draft!
Qualification:
Players qualify based on Realm points rather than qualification slots. All players earn points based on their performance in the Realm Qualifier. A player will need to earn 10 points total throughout the season in order to qualify for Realm Championships. Once a player has secured 10 points, he or she is qualified for that season and may play in any Realm Championship no matter where those 10 points were earned. The point breakdown is as follows:
- 1st – 10 points
- 2nd – 10 points
- 3rd-4th – 6 points
- 5th-8th - 4 points
- 9th+ - 2 points
Realms are organized as follows. Once a player has secured 10 points, he or she may play in any Realm Championship, but only one Realm Championship.
