Realm Qualifiers
January 1, 2011. We're starting the year right with Realm Qualifiers! Success in Realm Qualifiers leads to the Realm Championship on April 16th and 17th, a tournament held in each respective realm with prizes for the most dedicated players within the area. For the Championship, we usually give away promos, product, Loot cards, and travel vouchers. We haven't finalized that yet. The 6-man battle royale to determine the prizes is our next Organized Play meeting.
Branching out from playing at their local store's Battlegrounds, players will travel within their local area to win prizes and earn points. Cryptozoic will hand-pick stores to host Qualifiers in each realm, and players need 10 points to earn their spot in the Realm Championship. The points are allocated like so:
1st: 10 points
2nd: 10 points
3rd - 4th: 6 points
5th - 8th: 4 points
9th+: 3 points
A player with 10 points may participate in any one (1) Realm Championship.
As you can see, you lock up a slot with a Qualifier win, or you can ensure your slot through sheer dedication. We want everybody to have a chance at the title. The Core Constructed portion of Realm Qualifiers start on January 1st, 2011 and ends on March 4th, 2011. The Sealed Deck portion of Realm Qualifiers start on March 5th, 2011 and ends on April 9th, 2011. You can see the prizes here, and Booster Pack prize support will also be included and the amount will be dependent on number of players in the tournament.
