Still full from Thanksgiving? Then you did yesterday right!
Yesterday, I dove deep into the Registration Options and Rewards available to anyone looking to attend the Season Two Invitational Weekend. Today, I’ll be going over everything that’s involved with the main event: the schedule, the prizes, and, perhaps most importantly, how to check to make sure you’re qualified.
Greatness Begins Here!

Twice a year, qualified players compete for $100,000 in prizes paid out through 64th place, a bye and free entry into every StarCityGames.com Open, free entry into one StarCityGames.com Classic, per weekend, for the following season of the SCG Tour, and the chance to have their likeness immortalized on a StarCityGames.com Invitational Qualifier playmat and token!
