Prize Structure Changed for Grand Prix–Bochum

Local authorities in Bochum requested that Wizards of the Coast cease paying cash prizes at Grand Prix–Bochum to be held October 30-31, and we are complying with this request. The top 64 competitors will instead receive prizes in goods from Wizards of the Coast and/or our partners as indicated below.

In addition, we are reducing the entry fee to €15. The Grand Prix–Bochum format will remain Scars of Mirrodin Limited (Day 1 Sealed Deck, Day 2 Booster Draft), and Pro Points will be distributed as normal. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this change.
