PTMS Revamped and PTMS 1 Formats

Nicolino Di Benedetto · 05-12-2026, 01:17 PM

Hello, everyone! We have an exciting announcement about the Perfect Team Masters Series, and what's planned for PT 27!

The Perfect Team Masters Series will undergo a change in PT 27. Instead of one tournament and one Perfect Draft to determine the two PTMS champions, we will have two multi-competition events held in one day. The PTMS will remain on two separate tracks; one for tournaments and the other for PDs. However, there will be three of each played to determine the PTMS champions, adding more drama and variety to the formats and roster builds.

The system will use the PTWC competition points structure, so the PTMS competition standings will follow this format:
• 1st: 125 points
• 2nd: 100 points
• 3rd-4th: 75 points
• 5th-8th: 50 points
• 9th-16th: 35 points
• 17th-32nd: 20 points
• 33rd-64th: 10 points
• 64th-128th: 5 points
o Tiebreaker: PTMS Qualifying Place

Please note that these points WILL NOT be used for the PTWC standings, and only the final placing will be awarded points.

These are the final standings points (These count towards PTWC):
• 1st: 300 points
• 2nd: 100 points
• 3rd-4th: 75 points
• 5th-8th: 40 points
• 9th-16th: 20 points
• 17th-32nd: 5 points
• 33rd-64th: 2 points
• 64th-128th: 1 point

Prizes for Individual Tournaments for PTMS 1 in PT 27
1st 1x Historical Rainbows

One of my teams made it to the semis of PTMS 3 yesterday but the prize suite received was for 9th-16th so Jerry Denny was the top prize. A bit confused why I didn’t receive the cards up to 3rd-4th place?

I believe there was a point system for multiple PTMS formats. Not just one.
