Specific information about Grand Prix formats and prize payouts will be announced in the coming months.

The Pro Tour returns to Hawaii in February as the marquee showcase of high-level Magic play. Pro Tour Dark Ascension in Honolulu will be February 10-12, one week after the release of Dark Ascension. By aligning the Pro Tour so closely to the launch of a new set, the Pro Tour becomes the exclamation point to the Dark Ascension release season. [...]

If Honolulu in February sounds like a good idea to you, the Pro Tour Qualifier season is fast approaching. The season begins October 1 around the world and on Magic Online. All in-person qualifiers will be the Innistrad Sealed Deck/Booster Draft format, with online qualifiers run either as Magic 2012 (prior to October 17) or Innistrad Sealed Deck/Booster Draft (after October 17). As in 2011, winners of in-person PTQs will be awarded airfare to the Pro Tour.
