Mini-Qualifiers
Once each calendar year, a Prince may run a Mini-Qualifier - a tournament where the winner (or highest ranked not-already-qualified player) wins a qualifying spot for that year's Continental Championships. This is in addition to the current Continental Qualifier system, and does not replace it. Unlike a normal qualifier, the tournament organizer for this event does not automatically qualify.

Event Format
Mini-Qualifiers are constructed deck tournaments. The Mini-Qualifiers are open to all players.
*
Qualifying
The minimum attendance at the Mini-Qualifier in order to award the qualifying spot is 12 players (minimum possible for 3 tables, and avoids 11-player events). If the tournament does not get at least 12 players, that Prince may run one more Mini-Qualifier that calendar year.
The qualifying spot is awarded to the winner of the tournament. If the winner of the tournament is already qualified, then the qualifying spot is awared to the highest-ranked non-qualified player.
Once a player qualifies, he or she is free to play in other qualifiers (the qualifiers are all open tournaments). But such previously-qualified players do not count when determining the new qualifiers at that tournament.

V:EKN Issues
No additional prize support will be created or distributed for these events (i.e. if you want a qualifier t-shirt, go to a qualifier).
Archon forms for Mini-Qualifiers are to be sent to vtesratings@white-wolf.com.
Oscar Garza (orgplay@white-wolf.com) will in charge of event verification, and will be free to delegate work to National Coordinators and Princes (reporting back to Oscar).
