 Realm Qualifier tournaments will qualify players for their Realm Championship. Each event will offer players the chance to accumulate Realm Points to earn a spot in the Realm Championship for their Realm. In addition to the main event, each Realm Qualifier will host Booster Draft Challenges as often as there are enough people to run a Draft!
Qualification:
Starting with Season 4, players will qualify based on Realm points rather than placing in top 4 of a Realm Qualifier. All players earn points based on their performance in the Realm Qualifier. A player will need to earn 10 points total throughout the season in a specific Realm in order to qualify for that Realm’s Championship. The point breakdown is as follows:
- 1st – 10 points
- 2nd – 10 points
- 3rd-4th – 6 points
- 5th-8th - 4 points
- 9th+ - 2 points
