Flying in snow and ice and all that stuff? meh!
MagixDK Member	posted October 07, 2011 01:23 AM is wondering why USA gets 8 GPs, and europe 3?
caquaa Member	posted October 07, 2011 01:45 AM isn't it obvious? wotc hates europe! if I had to wager a real guess, when wotc released info talking about increased number of GPs, it was mentioned that there would be GPs with lower payouts. It seems likely due to high attendance of European GPs that those will likely not be reduced pay outs, hence there would be less of them.
MagixDK Member	posted October 07, 2011 02:39 AM to me thats a kind of reverse logic, that greatly attended events =>less events. if players really want to play, isnt wizard supporting that? at least this was part of their latest statement regard planeswalker points.
caquaa Member	posted October 07, 2011 02:55 AM yah but if they ran a lot of GPs and all had high attendance, then they'd likely have to all be high pay out events. Maybe its not in the budget? Dunno. Maybe next quarter there will be a ton in Europe. Just have to wait and see.

Phyrexian Angel Member	posted October 07, 2011 06:11 AM I thought this was announced on August already http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/other/082311a However, I think the schedule is pretty unfair to European and Asian under Planwswalker-point based PT Invaition and GP Byes, since Americans definitely have more chances to earn PW points compare with Europeans/Asians. Example: American attending all 8 European GPs, with all 6-3 records and drops on day 1 total points=(18+10)88GPs=1792 European attending all 3 European GPs. going to day2 with 12-3 record (36+10)83GPs=1104 So, I guess after season 1, people who got the PT invitations (top 65 competitive total) and 3-GP byes (Top 300 competitive total) will be almost all Americans.

Animosity Member	posted October 07, 2011 06:44 AM Sweet Legacy is in Indy. I will be going to that one.

Thanos Member	posted October 07, 2011 03:45 PM Baltimore looks doable.

I've liked to link to this before http://goeurope.about.com/od/europeanmaps/l/bl-country-size-comparison-map.htm without doing some google searches and such, I'm pretty sure the population in Europe is far more dense then that of the States, right? We have a lot of rural area... basically the middle ;p
