The first Live Competition of the 2009 MLG Pro Circuit is set to take place at the Meadowlands Expo Center on April 3rd-5th, and we are pleased to announce that registration for the first Online Qualifiers of the 2009 Season is now open!

The Online Qualifiers take the place of the Pro Circuit Online Ladders from our 2008 Season. While the format remains largely the same, there are a few key differences between this year's Online Qualifiers and last year's Pro Circuit Ladders.

How It Works: The Online Qualifier for both Halo 3 and the latest addition to the 2009 Pro Circuit, Gears of War 2, begins as an open ladder on GameBattles. Teams may begin signing up immediately. The cost to enter is 10 credits per player. Ladder play is now open and teams can compete with one another using the GameBattles Challenge System. When Ladder play ends on February 16th at midnight, The Top 32 ranked teams will be placed into a double-elimination bracket. When the tournament is finished, the Top 64 finishing teams will receive ranking points based on where they finish (Click here to see the points awarded for each place). These ranking points will be used to seed the team at any Pro Circuit Live Competition(s) they attend. The ranking points earned in Online Qualifiers are cumulative throughout the entire 2009 Season, and the points for each Online Qualifier will be weighted equally. However, one (1) 2008 Pro Circuit Rank Point is worth more than any amount of Online Qualifier Rank Points.

Gears of War 2 has been officially added as a Pro Circuit Title for 2009. For Gears of War 2 competitors, this first Online Qualifier will be used to determine which teams start in the Championship Bracket at the Meadowlands. Because Gears of War 2 is a new game, this Online Qualifier will be sole determinate of the seeds heading into the first Live Competition.

Halo 3 Teams will be seeded for the first event of the 2009 Season based on the following criteria:
1. 2008 Pro Circuit Rank Points
2. 2009 Online Qualifier Rank Points
3. Teams with none of the above will be seeded randomly behind all other seeded teams.

One (1) 2008 Pro Circuit Rank Point is worth more than any amount of Online Qualifier Rank Points.

Gears of War 2 Teams will be seeded for the first Live Competition of the 2009 Season based on the following criteria:
1. Online Qualifier Rank Points
2. Teams with no Online Qualifier Rank Points will be seeded randomly behind all other seeded teams.

NOTE: 2008 Pro Circuit Online Ladder Rank Points will not be used in any way to seed teams.

Unlike in the 2008 Pro Circuit Online Ladders, Online Qualifier Rank Points are cumulative. Points earned in the first Online Qualifier are worth the same amount as the points earned in any other 2009 Online Qualifier. This means that even those players who do not plan on competing at the Meadowlands should compete and begin earning seeding points for future Live Competitions.

While the Top 64 finishers in each Online Qualifier will receive rank points to help improve their seed at Live Events, they will also have a reserved team pass for the following Live Competition. This reserved team pass will assure the team a spot in the next Live Competition and allow them to forgo the rush that occurs when public team passes are made available in the MLG Store.

Teams with 2008 Rank Points that cannot improve their seed by competing in the Online Qualifiers may still earn themselves a reserved team pass by finishing in the Top 64.

Be sure to sign up today and get ready for the exciting 2009 Season! Look out for more 2009 MLG Pro Circuit details in the coming weeks!

Online Qualifier Registration closes at 11:59 PM ET this Sunday night (February 1st, 2009). Teams that don’t have a complete Roster by that time, even those that may have already played a Match(es), won’t be able to participate in the Online Qualifiers or qualify for their respective Playoff Brackets. It is important that all teams have their roster filled and completed by this time.
