Someone told me at states that when you hit 2k dci rating your pro and get invited to the pro tour and all the big tournaments, which is believable however
if this is true, do they send you a notification or do you just show up and say my dci rating is 2k look me up?
This is all out of curiosity, my rating is like 1850 and I doubt Ill every hit 2k but when I do I dont want to fly to rome and them tell me too bad lol..
IF anyone knows can you give me a brief but descriptive run down of how dci ratings/rankings work and the pro tour and such
Technically, to qualify for the Pro-Tour based on your rating, you only need to be rated in the top-100 in either the total rating, or in the respective rating category of the appropriate type for that particular pro-tour.
In otherwords to get into the Pro-Tour based on the Total Rating, you would need a minimum DCI Total Rating of... at least 2074 if not higher. So no, you cannot get in just by having a DCI rating of 2000, that simply put, is no longer high enough.
For a constructed category rating, you would need at least 2032 rating points. For the Eternal formats (if they ever do a Pro Tour in the Eternal formats) you would need 1889 points. For Limited, you would need 2015 points.

Also, if you do get that high of a rating, you can check your rating on the Personal Information Center on Wizards' site. There's a cutoff date more than a month before the event, (for example the cutoff date for San Diego is Jan. 6) so you should know well ahead of time whether or not you're going to Rome.
Not only that, but it is generally accepted that it is hard to reach those DCI levels without playing in some higher K value tournaments, which means that you are likely already doing well in GP/PTQ type tournaments and have just been missing the cut. I think the absolute easiest way to qualify is to Top 16 a Grand Prix.

Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.
With the big attandance to the latest GP's it's still really hard so I would say going top 4 in nationals is often a bit easier (especially in smaller countries)
That's true. I live in the US, so I'm sure you can see where I'm comming from. How many players were at your Nationals?
The diversity of players from around the globe is one of the reasons I love this game.
