My friend has a hobby store, that is also an advanced level Magic store.
We have a small playerbase, so everyone worked hard last year, around end of april/beginning of may (not sure exactly) to host a 32-player event (as the rest of the requirements were a bit easier to complete), so the store can qualify for advanced level.
Sadly the store got the advanced level a bit too late to qualify for any WMCQ event hosting, thus the only events that we hosted, that could attract a bit more players from other towns were PPTQs and GP trials, and none of them had 32 players.
I asked my friend, and he is not sure about this either: is store eligibility checked at specified dates each year, or when you complete the goals, a timer is set for that goal, and you have to renew it within a year?
For example: you host a 32-player event on the 14th of june, in 2016, does that mean you have one year, till june 14th of 2016 to host another such event to keep your level?
