Grand Prix Paris 2011 Fact File

The Magic: The Gathering Grand Prix tournament series is a great reason to get out of the house, catch up with old friends, meet some new ones, and play Magic. Grand Prix tournaments are world-wide open events that allow all Magic players to participate and experience the thrill of a large-scale competition. In addition to $30,000 in cash prizes, Pro Tour invitations for the top 16 finishers, and exclusive foil promo cards for participants, Grand Prix feature a host of other activities, including public events and artist signings (prizes subject to change). Find out more about the Grand Prix tournament schedule here.

Also, Wizards of the Coast has updated the 2011 Grand Prix schedule with the changes reflected below. Grand Prix Hamburg (scheduled for March 12-13) will no longer be taking place and will not be substituted with another location. Dates have also been set for Grand Prix Amsterdam, which will take place October 22-23.

Grand Prix London attendees should be advised that the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton will be taking place on Friday, April 29 and may affect your travel. Be sure to make your hotel arrangements as early as possible in order to avoid difficulties.

Welcome to Chiba, Japan and the 2010 Magic: The Gathering World Championships. This weekend marks the culmination of an amazing Pro Tour season. Who will hoist the World Champion trophy? Will the traditional powers show their strength in the National Team competition, or will a relative unknown team emerge as China did last year? Will American Brad Nelson end five years of Japanese dominance in the Player of the Year race? Who will be crowned the Magic Online World Champion? How will the event shape the Standard and Extended metagames?

All these questions and more will be answered over the next four days as 350 players from 60 countries put their Magic skills to the test. Day 1 begins with the Parade of Nations and Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, followed by six rounds of Standard and two National Team rounds. The National Teams take a break on Friday, when we have six rounds of Scars of Mirrodin Booster Draft. Then Saturday features the final two team rounds and six rounds of Extended. Come Saturday night, we'll know the Top 8 individuals and the Top 2 National Teams who will be competing Sunday under the spotlights.

Follow along all weekend as Brian David-Marshall, Rich Hagon, Bill Stark, Monty Ashley, Tim Willoughby, Ray Walkinshaw, Rashad Miller, and Craig Gibson bring you all the action from 2010 Worlds.
