This is super awesome - TLDR: - Points system will be implemented, placing you in a rank (bronze, silver, etc...) based on your points - Earn points from placements at Challenges (skirmishes), Showdowns, Regionals, Continentals, scaling with how high you place - High ranks (gold, platinum) will get priority registration for Regionals/Continentals - Top 50 ranked players each set get a Continental invite - Top 50 ranked players each YEAR get free invites to every Regional/Continental for the next year, and qualify for Worlds - Regional winners qualify for Worlds This addresses a couple of huge pain points this year with a lot of players: 1. Regional invites can be earned from strong finishes at locals/showdowns/regionals, so you don't have to be an eventbrite goat to get into these events 2. There is now an incentive to place highly even outside of top 64, as you're awarded points for top 128, 256, etc...
