It seems likely due to high attendance of European GPs that those will likely not be reduced pay outs, hence there would be less of them.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#dedfdf"><TD valign=top>MagixDK</TD><TD>to me thats a kind of reverse logic, that greatly attended events =>less events.if players really want to play, isnt wizard supporting that? at least this was part of their latest statement regard planeswalker points.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#f7f7f7"><TD valign=top>caquaa</TD><TD>yah but if they ran a lot of GPs and all had high attendance, then they'd likely have to all be high pay out events. Maybe its not in the budget? Dunno. Maybe next quarter there will be a ton in Europe. Just have to wait and see.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#dedfdf"><TD valign=top>wayne</TD><TD>Heh, is extended now dead and buried?</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#f7f7f7"><TD valign=top>Phyrexian Angel</TD><TD>I thought this was announced on August already <A HREF="http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/other/082311a" TARGET=_blank>http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/other/082311a</A>However, I think the schedule is pretty unfair to European and Asian under Planwswalker-point based PT Invaition and GP Byes, since Americans definitely have more chances to earn PW points compare with Europeans/Asians.Example: American attending all 8 European GPs, with all 6-3 records and drops on day 1 total points=(18+10)*8*8GPs=1792 European attending all 3 European GPs. going to day2 with 12-3 record (36+10)*8*3GPs=1104So, I guess after season 1, people who got the PT invitations (top 65 competitive total) and 3-GP byes (Top 300 competitive total) will be almost all Americans.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#dedfdf"><TD valign=top>gaeacradle</TD><TD><BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by Phyrexian Angel: I thought this was announced on August already <A HREF="http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/other/082311a" TARGET=_blank>http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/other/082311a</A><HR></BLOCKQUOTE>This announcement is for the format for each of the GP. </TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#f7f7f7"><TD valign=top>Animosity</TD><TD>Sweet Legacy is in Indy.
