what you ppl from m-l think about this whe should have a magic-league grand prix a big tournament on 2 day i know this look hard to make but this will be aswome all the trial for the 2 previous week can make you win 3 bye and you can give bye for the rating like in rlf and give some prize to the top 8 after 2 day of big magic and awsome play whe will know who the best m-l player and the win off the m-l gp can recive some thing like for 1 year round 1 byes for master or a invitation to all the invitational tournament i know 2 day is long but i think everyone in this league love playng magic alot and for the tc you can have 2 diferent

just think about this and vote thk for reading

i think its a great idea, but for this works, it would have to be with a BIG, REALLY GIANT AND HUGE premiation.

maybe if the league stops doing masters for a couple months, then makes the gp... but i dunno if its interesting for league.

I think it could be a fun idea, although it needs a lot of judges and stuff. And if they realy stop some master, the price money would be more interresting so more people would play i think.

what makes GP so big? Prize Structure.

Why do people play on magic-league over MTGO? money(mostly).

If you wanted a good prize structure, you would need to charge an entrie fee. once you start to charge on magic-league, you will notice no one paying because everyone is is cheap.

Well. i am not sure how that works exactly with the laws, but on mtgo their no gambling per se. But if you lets say, let every player who wants to participate pay 5-10 euro/dollar whatever, you could pay the judges a bit and distribute the rest. That would draw more attention, because theres no place in the internet where you can truly play magic for money. (Like i said the laws must be checked before doing this)

I don't know if you have seen the subtitles we have on this site. We are a FREE league to play magic.
ASking entry fees for tournaments has a nice ring, but I think it is not a very good idea, since it goes against the basic idea of this league, wich is offering a free alternative for players to test and hone their skills. I think in that perspective we do serve a need, and I don't think we should change it.
The only thing we might do is to make an invitational now and then with an increased prize support. The only problem there is how we would fund the increased prizemoney, but we will cross that river when (and if) we get there.

im just taking a guess but it may infringe on some copy rights or some kind of gambling law.... but just on the idea in gnrl for 1 i wouldnt participate..... i like this league mostly for 3 reasons ... 1 its free... 2 u can come play for a few hours and not be tied down for the whole day ... mostly why i dont partake in the masters or trials anymore... 3 because i can test alot more varity of matches then i can IRL wiithout proxing and with using less time....
i dont think a big tournment is for me but i know others would love it ..... i think it is definetly something to look into but not jump on to quickly

i had a similar idea back at worlds but not really like this, that we would have the trials during worlds be the same as the format of worlds that day, then on top8 day for worlds, the 1st/2nd place of the trials would play off for a prize.

this is simple and something i have wanted to do for a while. IRL they do teams ptq's and such which is 3 v 3 and the team that wins 2/3 of those matches with the match overall. Whe should do something like that, it would be easier to set up then a huge tournament and just cool. The deck setup would be the same, as in its one decklist, 2 players cnat be using 4o f the same card and what not.

maybe we can do a GP instead of 3 masters or something, and then we have bigger prize money ^^

I like the idea, I'm just afraid we would have to many trials ....

maybe we just have to do another invitationals , that was just sooo cool ^^

To me that would be a logical step from any company that has a copyrighted game like wizards does. I know I would protect my income. I mean, if people are spending money somewhere else, they cannot spend it in my place.
