Today TCGPlayer.com announced a Qualifier series to allow players to compete for points and prize to put towards their quest for the $75,000 Championship Tournament. You can read the full information on their site.
Each of these qualifiers is being run by a local tournament organizer and as such the prizes are being left up to the tournament organizer. TCGPlayer has a "suggested" level of prize but it is not enforced with the TO, so prize levels may vary beyond the TCGPlayer points offered.
