[edit] STE Points

The core idea behind The Spoils Tournament Experience is that players earn points by competing in and winning sanctioned tournaments. Players can then redeem these points for further prizes, including a room on an upcoming Caribbean cruise on which they can compete in The Spoils World Championship tournament. However, currently, due to finanical difficulties, the cruise has been canceled until further notice

[edit] Invitationals

Multiple times per year, Invitational tournaments are held to coincide with the pre-release of a new expansion set. These tournaments award STE points and prizes, including enough STE Points for the winner of the tournament to redeem them for a free room on the World Championship Cruise

[edit] Invitational Qualifiers

The Invitational Qualifier (IQ) system was launched in late 2006. Retail stores can be directly involved in the sanctioned tournament system by running IQ's at the local level. Players can thus learn to play the game, purchase product, and compete in sanctioned play to earn STE Points all in the same location. Additionally, any player that wins a local IQ event is automatically qualified for an upcoming Invitational Tournament.

[edit] Summer Bus Tour

The Summer Bus Tour 2007 will include two The Spoils-branded buses that will travel across the United States during the Summer months of 2007. One bus will begin in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, while the other will begin in Seattle, Washington. The two will makes stops at retail stores and hold sanctioned tournaments multiple times a week until the conclusion of the tour at Gen Con Indy 2007. The two will then make the final trip to PAX 2007.
