2009 Schedule

As reported by Brian David-Marshall by Wizards on August 22nd, 2008 here is the schedule for the 2009 Magic the Gathering Pro Tour.

Changes for the 2009 season!
Now all Pro Tours will be dual format with day one being played in a constructed format and day two being played as a limited format. No longer will players at home have to try and follow limited coverage for an entire Pro Tour.

The Top 8s of the events are defined as being 2 constructed and 1 limited. Also the qualifiers stick to a single format throughout the season with a 2:1 constructed to limited ratio.

ManaNation is excited to see these changes and hopes to bring you coverage from the upcoming Pro Tour season!
