Magic: The Gathering Pro Points Structure
Pro Points
Pro points are awarded to players based on their finishes at Pro Tour, Grand Prix, National Championship, and World Championship events. Pro Points are used to determine the Player of the Year Standing (see below)
Pro Points are officially awarded on the final day of appropriate tournaments after the final standings have been determined, but before invitations are passed down, when applicable. Only players who actually compete in the appropriate tournaments will receive pro points for those tournaments.
Pro Points are awarded based on the following chart. For team tournaments, each team member receives the amount of Pro Points listed.

Player Of The Year Standing
Following each Grand Prix, Pro Tour, National Championship, and Worlds event, players are ranked according to Pro Points accumulated from all Grand Prix, National Championship, and Pro Tour events (up to and including the World Championships) for the beginning of the current season. This ranking is called the Player of the Year Standing.
The Player of the Year Standing is used to determine the Pro Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year and membership level in the Pro Tour Players Club.
Membership level in the Pro Tour Players Club is used to determine invitations or byes for certain events. In such cases, players receive the invitation or bye based on their Pro Tour Players Club level on the first day of the event.
