Changes to The Rockets Series

We’ve listened to the feedback from our dedicated players and made some exciting changes to enhance your tournament experience. Here’s what’s new:

Modified Points System

We have removed the points multiplier for Top 8. Instead, we have restructured the system to grant a flat +3 Bonus Points to all players who make it to the Top 8 of each individual tournament. Additionally, the winner of each tournament will now receive a whopping additional +5 Bonus Points (so you better play those games out)!

Prizing & Fees

We’ve tried to balance entry price & prizing to be a great deal for our players, while still ensuring an additional prize pool can be created to set towards the Championships (more information on this further down this post). To this end, we’ll be running each individual event as a $1K with $35 entry fee for each, except Sealed which will be a $60 entry to account for the nature of the event.

Exclusive Pins

For those who rise to the top and claim first place, we have a special prize in store for you. Each individual tournament winner will be awarded a coveted Rockets Series Tournament Winner pin, which will be an emblem of your skills to show off forever!

Tokens for All Entrants

Fear not! Tokens of the previous Champion will still be awarded to all participants, so everyone gets a little something to show for their valiant efforts at each event. This season everyone will be getting a great Goblin Shaman token with the likeness of last season’s winner & Team Rockets player, Chas Tanner!

Playmat Prestige

Playmats have now been elevated to a more distinguished role. Starting this season, they will be exclusively awarded to only the Top 16 players on the Rockets Series Leaderboard. Prove your mettle & secure your spot on that Leaderboard for a chance to get your hands on one of these awesome playmats (sneak peeks coming soon)!

The Road to The Rockets Series Championships

Now for the biggest change that we hinted at above – The Top 16 players on the 23-24 Leaderboard will earn their rightful place in the new prestigious Rockets Series Championships, a finale event set to take place on March 23rd. The Rockets Series Championships will be played out with not one but TWO formats! 3 rounds of Modern, 3 Rounds of Pioneer, and then back to Modern after a cut to Top 8 where the Finals will be concluded with a Best of 5 match!

The Championships will be playing for an impressive $3,000 CASH prize pool, and each Top 16 competitor in the Rockets Series Championships will also receive a special commemorative playmat as a token of appreciation for their dedication and skill! The winner of this event will be the overall 23-24 Rockets Series Champion, which will earn them a 1st Place trophy, a custom token of themselves, a custom playmat of the token art, and of course a place in the Rockets Hall of Fame beside past Champions!

We’ll be updating the website soon to give everyone the full & clear details on prizes, payouts, points system calculations, and everything in-between for this new season. Stay tuned for more info & please let us know what you think about the changes. We really hope everyone will find these changes to be exciting & fun, but also to be a more well rounded way of giving everyone who tries their best a great shot of being the next Rockets Series Champion!
