Changement de politique pour les Byes
le 29/05/2014 9:23
Wizard viens d'annoncer une nouvelle politique pour l'acquisition des byes via les Planeswalker Point.

Citation :
Effective August 30, 2014, Grand Prix byes determined by Planeswalker Points will use points from the Planeswalker Points Yearly Award Seasons to award byes, rather than the Seasonal Award Seasons.

This change will allow players to earn points at their own pace and keep their byes longer, rather than feeling the need to "grind" to reach their goal and then restart every three months. Needing to know the exact cut-off dates for the Seasonal Award Seasons also led to confusion among players about how many byes they may have from one week to the next.

Managing the number of byes is an important part of running a successful tournament, and switching to a yearly model led to a full reevaluation of byes. With too many players having byes, the value of an individual bye is lessened. As an outcome of this reassessment, three-round byes based on Planeswalker Points will no longer be offered at Grand Prix as of August 30.

There were two paths in determining a possible three-round bye threshold with the new yearly system, both of which were problematic. Under one calculation, the system would have generated a number of three-round byes that would prove detrimental to tournament play, especially as the size of Grand Prix keeps rising. Under a more strict calculation, the threshold would have been so high that it would appear reachable only through extensive grinding—exactly the issue we're hoping to curb. Three-round byes will still be awarded to Gold and Platinum members of the Pro Players Club, as well as members of the Pro Tour Hall of Fame.

When the new system is put in place on August 30, bye levels will be set based both on Planeswalker Points earned in the completed 2014 Yearly Award Season (March 18, 2013 through June 1, 2014) and the in-progress 2015 Yearly Award Season (which runs from June 2, 2014 through May 31, 2015).

Players will receive byes at each Grand Prix depending on the number of Planeswalker Points they earned during the Yearly Award Seasons. Here are the new thresholds:

1 Bye: 1,300 Planeswalker Points
2 Byes: 2,250 Planeswalker Points
These new levels were developed by analyzing the number of players currently getting one- and two-round byes through Planeswalker Points and extrapolating those three-month play patterns over a twelve-month period.

Because the system now looks at a twelve-month range, the 1,000 bonus points awarded for winning a Pro Tour Qualifier will be eliminated starting with the "Dewey" Pro Tour Qualifier Round (starting August 30, 2014).That reward had been created to offset the fact that PTQ winners could no longer play in PTQs for that season (and therefore were missing out on many high-multiplier events to reach bye thresholds).

As the 2015 Yearly Award Season begins June 2, 2014 (nearly three months before this change is put into place), Grand Prix held from June 2, 2014, through August 24, 2014, will still award one-, two-, and three-round byes based on the Season Award Seasons. However, byes earned during that Seasonal Award Season will not carry forward beyond August 30, 2014. Byes after August 30, 2014, will only be awarded based on the Yearly Award Seasons.

Ils veulent limiter le nombre de place vide lors des premières ronde, en gros, si j'ai bien compris...

C'est l'idée, mais perso je préfère ce système.

Jouant exclusivement les GP (et des petits tournois), c'est bien plus facile pour mon type de profil d'avoir des byes que de rush les 400+ points en 3 mois.

[Et oui, il y a des gens qui ont autre chose à foutre que de grinder tout les WE les tournois :P ]

Je fais pas de tournoi et j'ai du mal à comprendre ce qu'est un bye, même avec le wiki de MV. Histoire que vous n'ayez pas à tout m'expliquer ou me google-est-ton-amier, je vous dis ce que je comprends et vous rectifier :

Un bye, c'est un joker que tu gagnes avec des points. Et dans un tournoi, tu peux utiliser ton bye pour sauter le MU qui t'fout les boules, genre "Jérémy contre Seb ! C'est toi Jérémy ? Ah ouais, t'es le kiki pod que j'ai vu ! Ouais ben, j'pose mon bye" et un mec prend un hygiaphone et beugle "Bye posé par Seb !" ce qui le qualifie pour la suivante. Et j'imagine que celui qui n'a pas pu jouer le MU est considéré comme gagnant aussi. Et on peut pas poser ses bye n'importe quand, genre pas en finale/demi-finale, et pas 5 de suite genre j'arrive au GP de Barcelone, j'achète un coca et j'suis en finale sans jouer, truc comme ça...

J'ai bon ?

Pas du tout

1 bye = tu joues pas la ronde 1.

Tu commences ronde 2 avec déjà une victoire dans le panier :D

Du coup, avec cette nouvelle politique de bye, les trials vont attirer plus de monde <3

1 bye = tu joues pas la ronde 1

2 bye = tu joues pas les ronde 1 et 2

etc...

Mais vu qu'il y a un seat all avant les rondes, tu es obligé de te lever...

Les byes servent juste à jouer moins de ronde dans la journée, car 9 rondes le samedi, c'est assez éprouvant.

Mais si j'ai 9 bye, j'suis en finale direct ?

Y a pas plus que 3 bye de dispo par event.

Et sur un GP, ça se joue sur 2 jours (15 rondes + top).
