Last Friday, we announced the return of Sunday PTQs at Grand Prix, and that the format for these PTQs would be dependent on the format for the Main Event of the Grand Prix. Based on feedback that we had received, we decided that asking players traveling to a Modern or Legacy Grand Prix test and bring two top-level competitive decks to play in both the PTQ and the Main Event created a worse experience than we wanted to offer. Additionally, from an Organized Play standpoint, we want our tournaments that are for the express purpose of qualifying a player for the Pro Tour to be of a format that players will actually play on the Pro Tour: Standard or Limited. Therefore, we decided that PTQs would be Standard for all Limited Grand Prix and Limited for all Constructed Grand Prix.

With these caveats in place, Tournament Organizers are free to choose the style of tournament that best suits their logistical needs: either a single tournament with a 226-player cap or a series of eight 32-player flights that culminates with a Top 8. Regardless of the style of tournament that the Tournament Organizer chooses to run, players are restricted to a single entry (no multiple flights) to give as many unique players as possible a chance to play in the PTQ. In addition, entry into the PTQ is non-transferrable.
