Planeswalker Points is a worldwide system designed to reward you for playing Magic: The Gathering in DCI sanctioned events (where an organizer schedules and reports the event to Wizards of the Coast). All sanctioned events, from casual sanctioned events to Worlds will carry points.
Unlike previous systems that rewarded only winning, Planeswalker Points is based on playing. [1] Players earn points for every sanctioned event they join, and they earn even more for each victory. [2] The larger the tournament, the more participation points players receive, no matter where they finish. Special events carry a point multiplier.
Categories
There are three major categories:
- Lifetime: The total point obtained all time.
- Competitive: The total point obtained during in a Pro Tour season span, excluding casual events, Pro Tour, Worlds and World Magic Cup events. Which used to determine the number of Byes in Grand Prix and eligibility of invitation to Nationals(and, former World Magic Cup Qualifiers).
- Until November 2014, there was also a Seasonal Award sub-category, which used almost exclusively on determining Grand Prix Byes only.
- Professional: The Pro Points obtained in a Pro Tour season span.
