Pro Tour 25th Anniversary is the fourth and final Pro Tour of the 2017–18 season. It will take place on 3–5 August 2018 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. As its name suggests, it is a special event celebrating the 25th anniversary of Magic, and for the first time since Pro Tour Charleston 2006, features Team Trios Constructed. Also for the first time since Pro Tour Berlin 2008, the event doesn't feature a Booster draft portion at all; instead, all rounds are Team Constructed, with one team member playing Standard, another playing Modern, and the third playing Legacy.
The exact price purse of the event is $850,000, with $150,000 will be awarded to the winning team ($50,000 for each player in winning team).In addition, Pro Tour 25th Anniversary will coincide with a special exhibition event with a $150,000 price purse, and that in total, the price purse of these two events will be $1,000,000.[1]
Qualification
Due to the unusual format of the event, the methods of qualification are also quite different. Players may qualify as individual, which can form teams with other qualified players[1], or as a team, which (in most cases) required to be made up of exact members they have qualified through.
Notably, this Pro Tour excludes the possibility of qualifying via Magic Online.

- This method of qualification can form team(s) freely within their 6 members, however, the team must not be disbanded after Pro Tour Dominaria.

- Winning in Pro Tour Qualifier of a Team Grand Prixes' side event from 6 January until 20 May, 2018.

In case if a player holding multiple team qualifications that have different members, the player may choose which team he/she participate (With Team Series has highest priority, followed by GP, PTQ, RPTQ). In this case only, the other teams qualified with that player may choose a qualified player to fill the void.
