Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour season 2014–15

Four Pro Tours and 51 Grands Prix were in the 2014–15 season. These are the events that award Pro Points, the points that were used to determine the Player of the Year Standings and Pro Club levels. Players were awarded Pro Levels for earning 20 (Silver level), 35 (Gold), and 46 points (Platinum), however only the six best Grand Prix results were counted towards seasonal point (the newly introduced "Grand Prix" invitation spot in Magic: The Gathering World Championship, however, will count every event in the season). Pro Club Levels came with certain benefits such as qualifications to subsequent Pro Tours, byes at Grand Prix, and airfare to Pro Tours. Based on the final standings of Pro Tours, Grand Prix, Worlds, and the World Magic Cup Pro Points were awarded as follows: For competitors finishing outside the final elimination stage of Grand Prix and Pro Tours points are awarded depending on their score after the final Swiss round. Sixteen Swiss rounds are played at Pro Tours, 15 at individual Grand Prix, and 14 at Team Grand Prix. Pro Points are then awarded as follows. Finally players that participated in the World Championship earned one Pro Point per win in the Swiss Portion and two Pro Points per win in the single elimination stage. On 31 October 2014, Wizards of the Coast revised the pro point structure and retroactively applied the changes to all events in the current season. On 2 April 2015, they further revised the threshold of Pro Players Club level, lowering the threshold required for Platinum status from 48 to 46. On 24 April 2014, ChannelFireball, the organizer of Grand Prix Las Vegas, announced the number of pre-registered players in that Grand Prix had exceeds the 5000 threshold, and the Grand Prix main event would be split into two independent Grand Prix main events sharing same venue. Making the total number of Grand Prix in this season to 52 instead of original 51. == Grand Prix ==
