The most significant change involves making the final league day an optional tournament day. This change is the result of not wanting to force teams to make a choice between competing in the MPL league days and other major events including National Qualifier Events. The format and scheduling of the tournament will be very similar to a normal league day. Although it may be possible that different competition/scoring formats will be experimented with.
