The top 8 playoff system was reverted to traditional single-elimination starting with Pro Tour Amonkhet, as WotC deemed the stepladder format used in Pro Tour Kaladesh and Pro Tour Aether Revolt to have little effect on reducing intentional draws among top players. However, as a purpose to favor high finishes in the Swiss portion of the event, the money and Pro Point payouts were slightly adjusted; players finishing in third- through eight-place receive payouts based on relative finish in the Swiss. Additionally, players who finished with 31-32 match points receive one fewer Pro Point than under the previous system.
