The Magic Pro Tour Team Series is a professional event series that will start with the 2017–18 Pro Tour season, though there is a soft launch starting at Pro Tour Aether Revolt. Announced on August 2, 2016,[1] the series emphasizes the team aspect of Pro Tours. Formerly, teams were unofficial, and players frequently joined and left the major teams that collaborated; the Magic Pro Tour Team Series makes teams an official part of the Pro Tour.
Format
Teams consist of six players each, including a designated team captain; these teams are registered prior to the first or second Pro Tour of the seasons, and upon having been registered, players cannot switch teams until the end of that Pro Tour season. Similarly, players can only be a member of one team.
Players earn points for their team by winning Pro Points at Pro Tours. For the first, second, and third Pro Tour in that season, the top five members' Pro Points are added to the team score. The Top 8 teams after the third Pro Tour receive invitations and travel awards to the season's last Pro Tour, where all members of those teams earn Pro Points that are added to the team score.
The top 2 teams after the season's conclusion are invited to compete in a team playoff at the following World Championship, where the winner is crowned the Team World Champion.
Prizes
The prize purse of in excess of $200,000 is distributed as follows between the top four teams after the Pro Season's conclusion:
| Place | Payout (per player) |
|---|---|
| 1 | $17,000 |
| 2 | $8,500 |
| 3–4 | $4,000 |
| Total | $201,000 |
Additionally, the all members of the Top 8 teams receive invitations and travel awards to the first Pro Tour of the next season, regardless of whether they remain on the same team.
