Magic the Gathering:
Scholarship Series
|
For 2007, Wizards of the
Coast has redesigned the successful Junior Super Series program to
better meet the desires and aspirations of our younger players. This
redesigned program will be called the Magic: the Gathering
Scholarship Series.
The format remains the
same: Standard Constructed, the most popular Magic format. We
still award $1,000 USD in college scholarships at each Scholarship
Series event we run. We still invite winners to the Scholarship
Series Championship, which awards $100,000 USD in scholarship
prizes. We still give out great product prizes and run the events at
stores throughout the United States and Canada. But instead of the
age cap being 15 as it was under the JSS program, it has been raised
to 18. Now all college-bound Magic players ages 18 and under
can participate to win scholarships to college.
There are other cool
new prizes as well: pens, deluxe school portfolios and satchels so
you can go to class in style. The Scholarship Series will set you up
for your school needs now, and help you prepare for your higher
education in the future. |
Yours for participating Spring (Whirling Dervish) season
Scholarship Series Event (while supplies last). (That's right - you
don't have to win, just come out, have fun and get this cool card!) |

Eligibility |
Invitations and Eligibility
Players who are not amateurs, or are age 19 or older, are
prohibited from competing in Scholarship Series events. Players
may be asked to verify their age at the tournament site, and
must provide age-confirming identification materials if
requested.
Once a player wins a scholarship in a Scholarship Series event,
that player may not participate in further Scholarship Series
events during that season. However, the player may play
again in the next season. EXAMPLE: Tim places second in a
Scholarship Series event in the Winter Season, winning a $500
scholarship. He may not compete in any further Scholarship
Series events in the Winter Season. But when the Spring Season
begins on April 7, Tim can play in Scholarship Series events
again until he wins a second scholarship. Once he wins a
scholarship in the Spring Season, he may not play in futher
events. Multiple invitations to the Scholarship Series
Championships won by players in separate seasons do not pass
down for any reason. |
