4. NATIONALITY ELIGIBILITY

Many tournaments described in this document have nationality restrictions that determine whether a player is eligible to participate in or receive invitations to those tournaments. The nationality-specific participation or invitation criteria are the following:

In order to be eligible for the residential-specific participation or invitation criteria (listed above) during a particular year, a player must be either:

A player’s current country of nationality for the purpose of nationality-specific participation or invitation criteria (listed above) is recorded in that player’s account on the Planeswalker Points website.

If a player wishes to change his or her country of nationality eligibility, that player must follow the instructions in Section 6 - Appeals. All nationality eligibility appeals must be received by March 1 of the year in which the tournament for which the player is submitting the appeal takes place.

Players may only participate in one country’s World Magic Cup Qualifiers, World Magic Cup Qualifier Last Chance Qualifiers, or be a member of one country’s National team for the World Magic Cup in a calendar year.

As a corrective action, Wizards of the Coast can change a player’s nationality at any time. If a player has been awarded and invitation (or other status) for a particular country is later found to be ineligible to represent that country based on that player’s Nationality, that player’s invitation can be rescinded and awarded to the next eligible player.

Wizards of the Coast is the final determiner of a player’s country of nationality for the purpose of nationality-specific participation or invitation criteria.
