The Pro Players Club is a system set up by Wizards of the Coast to reward players on the Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour. It was announced in May 2005 by Randy Buehler and replaced several older and more complicated sytems like the professional standings. It took effect with Pro Tour London in 2005.
There are currently three ranks in the Pro Players Club. Prior to 2012, it was in 8 levels.
Earning Levels
To quote the Pro Players Club's Guidelines and Procedures:
| “ | When a member reaches the required number of Pro Points in the current season's Player of the Year Standing, he or she is immediately promoted to the applicable Club Level for the rest of the current season. At the beginning of each new season, every member will be awarded the membership level based on his or her final point total in his or her previous season's Player of the Year Standing. | ” |
From 2012 season onwards, If a player won a Pro Tour event or Worlds, he or she is immediately promoted to Platinum level until the end of the next season.
