Ist hier evtl. einfach wieder die Kommunikation einfach sh*t ?

Grand Prix Byes
As we mentioned back in August, we have been looking at the current implementation of Grand Prix byes and have decided to phase them out on May 25, 2020.
Grand Prix byes were created for the Pro Tour when there were far fewer players playing competitive Magic. We don’t feel they are necessary with the new structure of the Players Tour, especially with systems like fractional invites filling a similar role. They also cause tournaments to require more rounds to be played and prevent us from exploring other structures for large events.
We will discuss this decision more in the future but wanted to provide as much notice as possible to players who may be working to earn byes through the current system.

So how will fractional invites work?
Fractional invites will use the same qualifying rounds as WPN Qualifiers, PTQs, and Magic Premier Series. Here are the planned qualifying rounds for 2020:
- Players Tour Series 2: January 11, 2020 – March 29, 2020
- Players Tour Series 3: April 4, 2020 – July 26, 2020
- Players Tour Series 4: August 1, 2020 – November 22, 2020
Top finishers at Grand Prix and Players Tour tournaments will earn a percentage of an invite to the next Players Tour, in addition to any direct invites earned. At the end of each qualifying round, players that have earned 100% or more towards an invite by combining both the current round and the previous round will be invited to that round's Players Tour.
Klingt natürlich aber irgendwie nicht nach einem 1:1 Ersatz, weil man für die "Fractional Invites" offenbar schonmal Top-Platzierungen braucht... :-(
Oder ich versteh das nicht richtig, direkt im Absatz drunter ist eine Tabelle (die sich leider hier nicht zitieren lässt, da Format zerschossen) mit den % die man bekommt auch ohne Top8 Platzierung...
Aber da ist dann von minim. 30+ "Match Points" die Rede... da hab ich keinen Blick für wie viel das ist bzw. ob sich so was auch grinden ließe...
- I use Arch btw und Necronlord haben sich bedankt
