So, I had been planning to attend a PTQ event for the first time, when I discovered that this event is actually a preliminary PTQ, which I had never even heard of before now. Doing a little research, and I need help answering a couple of questions:
Is the two-stage PTQ format replacing the old format, or in addition to it? I.e. will all events be preliminary and regional PTQs from now on, or will some events still be the older style?
Are there still PTQ top 8 playmats? If so, which tournaments award them? Preliminaries? Regionals?
Yes, PreTQ's will replace PTQ's going forward. There are a few last normal ptq's going on over the next few weeks (last one I've found is Jan 10th) but after that it will be PreTQ's. I can't answer about the playmats until sunday when we start going to pre's but they do have very good promo cards for the ones who make it to the regional PTQ's, right now being Liliana. If Pre's don't have mats, I would assume regionals do but I can't confirm that.

Trying to make crappy pet cards work since 2002.
I'm usually typing quickly at work or on my phone so I appolize from the crummy grammar
For this season you can play in a PTQ for Pro Tour Fate Reforged. This is an event as it has always been, many enter, one winner qualifies for the Pro Tour. This is the last season of events like this.
You can also play in Primary PTQs this season for Pro Tour Dragons of Tarkir. The winner of one of these goes to the Regional PTQ in April where the Top 4 or 8 players (depending on attendance) advance to the Pro Tour.
I'm not sure if they are doing Playmats for the Fate Reforged PTQs as they have been doing for the last couple of years, a Google search would probably yield this result easily. I know PPTQs don't have them. Everyone who enters a RPTQ gets a promo Liliana of the Veil and I don't think they announced a playmat but that could be because the art might have spoilers.
