Are qualifiers held after the championship for the local continent providing qualifier spaces for the current year for other continents, or are the spots for all continental championships in the next year?

What is the V:EKN's official position on this?

Both DragonCon 2011 and the ErieCon qualifier tournaments in August and September will need the answer to this question before they are run.

So far, we secretly applied the same rule that was written for the winner of a 10+ player event:

The winner of a sanctioned, rated, standard constructed tournament of 10 or more players will be qualified for all Continental Championships for the calendar year of the upcoming championship in that tournament's continent.

Same applies for Continental Qualifiers.


Players qualifying at DragonCon 2011 and ErieCon 2011 will be qualified for the 2012 Continental Championships.
Also: players qualified at the NAC 2011's First Chance Qualifier are qualified for the 2012 Continental Championships.
