So I recently was made aware by a friend that I'd qualified for nationals in England.
Quite how I was expected to know this is beyond me; it was buried at the bottom of a different article about an upcoming set. My friend stumbling across it (and thinking to check for my name!) is the only reason I know.
Anyway information on these tournaments is scant at best. Wizards doesn't list this event type in their "events" section on their website & so what on earth does one do with this information? There are no events listed in the schedule yet, and it all seems a bit... Odd..
Anyway someone help me out please. How does this even work & what can I expect?
Thanks guys

basically, you and everyone else who has turned up to a GP or played a bunch of FNMs is qualified, and they desperately hope most of you won't turn up. (There are probably several thousand people Q'd in the average country; most organisers are going to budget for a couple of hundred is my guess).
You'll turn up for an event. Some entry fee will apply. If done correctly, it will be one of the sweetest events of the year - a 2 day event with something like 6 draft rounds and 6 standard rounds before a top 8 of the (hopefully) best players in the country. Good side events are also de rigueur, or used to be in a lot of countries.
These will occur in september or october, and the top 2 will qualify for worlds.
Basically, it's like a double WMCQ with sweet side events and a great atmosphere if done well. It's the closest thing to a PT that you can go to without any serious qualification requirement.

Now that sounds awesome. I'm 100% into this.
