[1/27/15 Update: A miscommunication caused our qualification criteria to be written a little differently than intended. Please re-read to understand the qualification criteria!]

Exactly one year ago, we hosted the first Legacy Series event. To us, the event marked the beginning of an era in Arizona. In September, we want to take you and the rest of the Arizona Legacy community to another level. AZMagicPlayers.com is excited to bring you the 2015 Legacy Series Masters, the true culmination of the 2015 Legacy Series! Last year, we had a year-end championship that was open to all entrants. This year, we have two seasonal championships that is open to everyone and a year-end Masters event that is only open to qualified individuals.

We’d like to take this opportunity again to thank everyone for the support we’ve received throughout the past year. It is a blast running these events. We believe that the Legacy Series Masters adds another element to the competitive scene in Arizona, so we hope to see you all competing to qualify for this exclusive event! If you have any questions, feel free to ask us, in person, in the comments below, or on Facebook!

2. How to Qualify

Now how does one qualify for the Legacy Series Masters? There are three ways to qualify:

  • Win a seasonal championship (Spring Champs or Summer Champs)
  • The Top 16 Points Leaders in our 2015 Legacy Series Leaderboard
    • Players who have won a championship are not counted in the Top 16 Point Leaders
    • All players that have the same point total as the 16th at-large Points Leader will also qualify
  • Anyone who is not in the Top 16 Point Leaders that has three or more Top 8s in 2015 Legacy Classics or Champs will qualify

This limits the event to roughly twenty to twenty-five players. There also is no entry fee!
