Wizards Play Network Levels & Requirements

Within the network, organizers will be grouped by level, with increasing level denoting increased responsibility for event reporting, increased prize support, and increased freedom to run more prestigious content. For each level's content offerings, simply meet the level's requirements and communicate to us which of the content offerings you'd like to run. Access to specific events may require meeting program-specific criteria in addition to the requirements listed here.

Scheduling

The Wizards Play Network encourages Organizers to schedule their Casual and Rated events at least seven days prior to their start dates. This gives players time to find the events on the Tournament Locator and make plans to attend. However, we offer additional scheduling options as you increase your WPN level. This provides the flexibility to schedule additional events on busy days, or during popular events like Launch Parties.

Don't wait to sign up - just contact us to run an event and you're in the network! Remember, active organizers and judges are already signed up.
