FAQ
There will be four direct qualifications. Not all Platinum events will award a direct qualification.
Four players can qualify based on a public vote. Players in contention will campaign for votes. Voters will purchase votes, with the money being put towards charity.
Players campaigning must be on cusp of qualifying. Players in 61st-81st* would be able to campaign (20 players).
Every day the bottom 4 players in votes are eliminated, until 4 are left standing. This would mean voting will occur and conclude in a week.
If a player declines their invite, it will go to the next person on the leaderboard. Same with campaign slots. Direct qualifications cannot be given away.
All events in the TopDeck Championship series must adhere to certain rules for their events in 2024. These include: 80 minute rounds, no turns, and no 3 or 5 person pods allowed (unless the event is between 16-24 players). Certain top cut rules must be followed as well.
