The first 15 Grand Prix of 2012 have been announced on the official Magic: the Gathering website. Unfortunately, none of them seem to be within a reasonable driving distance from Arizona. Multiple Grand Prix will happen on the same weekend, but in different countries. Also, the Grand Prix prize purse will vary from $10,000 to $40,000. It will be interesting to see if the Grand Prix that share the same weekend will also share the same format.
The Grand Prix schedule for the first three months of 2012 are as follows:
