Player Points

Player Points was an award system for Magic: The Gathering professional tabletop play, introduced in 2020 and ended in 2022.
==History==
In 2019, Mythic Points had replaced the Pro Points system, in an attempt to connect competitive gaming across MTG Arena and Magic tabletop. For 2020. the tracks were separated again, with the MPL tracking rankings combining the two. For MTG Arena play, Mythic Points were kept. For tabletop Player Points were introduced. The COVID-19 epidemic eventually curtailed the whole of Tabletop play, which then forced one track, all using Player Points. 
The end of Magic esports in 2022 also meant the end of the Player Point System.

===2020===
You could earn Player Points at Championship-level events. Those included:
* Players Tour Americas/Europe/Asia-Pacific
* Players Tour Finals
The COVID-19 outbreak in January resulted in preventative measures taken in March. By April, it was clear that further events were not safely feasible to hold, and Wizards wrote off the entire season as not salvageable. A second series of Players Tours were held, followed by the Mythic Invitational, a generalized Players Tour Finals and the Worlds-like Players Tour Grand Finals, but they did not pay out points for League positions. 
===2020-21===
In the 2020–21 Players Tour Season, there were no events scheduled that could award Player Points.
=== 2021-2022 ===
With the retirement of the MPL and Rivals league in 2023, League and Player points were replaced with a system to qualify for the World Championship. Each win at a Set Championship gains 3 points, and 7th and 8th place after the cutoff gain 4 points. Five places reserved for League players, and eight for Challengers on the leaderboard, and any players that double-qualify through Top 6 placements open at-large placements.
=== 2022-forward ===
With the return to the Pro Tour system with the 2022–23 Pro Tour Season, the competitive currency will be known as Adjusted Match Points.
