So apparently the PTQs on Magic Online are back. Here are the highlights of the process:
The format for the PTQs are now similar to MOCS. You gain entry to a PTQ final via a PTQ preliminary.
You can enter as many PTQ qualifers as you want, assuming you are eligible to enter PTQs.
A Limited PTQ Qualifier feeds into a Limited PTQ final, and a constructed PTQ Qualifier feeds into a constructed PTQ Final.
A total of 16 PTQ FINALS will be held this season.
On top of all this, they also upped the amunt of cash you get for participating in a PT Challenge event at the PT from $1,000 to $1,500.
Also of note, they have apparently upgraded the infrastructure to allow for dynamic adjustment of timers during the event to help prevent events from freezing, or allow people more time to rejoin in case of a mass disconnect.
