6. APPEALS

If a player believes that an error in his or her event history has caused an invitation or bye to be wrongly withheld, he or she may file a formal appeal with Wizards pursuant to the following process:

i. PLANESWALKER POINTS-BASED APPEALS

Appeals for invitations or byes based on specific Planeswalker Points-based invitation criteria must be submitted and received by Wizards no later than four (4) weeks prior to the start date of the tournament in question.

Complete information regarding Planeswalker Points-based appeals can be found in the Magic Event Appeal Policy.

Planeswalker Points-based appeals may only be submitted through the Planeswalker Points Event Appeals Form. You must be logged into your Planeswalker Points account in order to access the Event Appeals Form.

ii. PRO TOUR PLAYERS CLUB LEVEL APPEALS

Appeals for invitations or byes based on a Pro Tour Players Club achievement level must be submitted in writing and received by Wizards no later than ten (10) days prior to the start date of the tournament in question.

Pro Tour Players Club achievement level-based appeals must be submitted through the Wizards Help System at www.wizards.com/customerservice with “Pro Tour Players Club Inquiry” in the subject line.

iii. NATIONALITY ELIGIBILITY APPEALS

Appeals to change a player’s current country of nationality for the purpose of nationality-specific participation or invitation criteria (listed in Section 4 – Nationality Eligibility) must be submitted in writing and received by Wizards no later than March 1 of the year in which the tournament for which the player is submitting the appeal takes place. Players should indicate in detail the reason they are requesting the change.

In order for a nationality appeal to be considered, a player must be either:

Example: A player with a nationality (and citizenship) of United States moves to Japan. In order to be eligible update his or her Nationality in order to play in the 2016 World Magic Cup Qualifiers in Japan, that player must have been a continuous resident in Japan from January 1, 2015. Additionally, the appeal needs to be received by March 1, 2016 in order to be considered.

Nationality eligibility-based appeals must be submitted through the Wizards Help System at www.wizards.com/customerservice with “Nationality Eligibility Appeal” in the subject line.

If a nationality eligibility appeal is granted, the change is considered permanent.

Decisions by Wizards of the Coast regarding any appeal are final and cannot be further appealed. By participating in sanctioned tournament play, you agree to be bound by any such decision made by Wizards, in its sole discretion.
