Unity League maintains an independent ranking based on player results from real-life Magic tournaments. Results may be reported by organizers or independently recorded by Unity League from publicly available standings. Tournament organizers are not affiliated with Unity League unless explicitly stated.
By default results receive the multiplier. Organizers may request higher multipliers to give events more visibility, award additional points, and offer invites to the Championship.
Unity League may also classify major public tournaments for ranking purposes as events. Side events at those tournaments are typically classified as .
qualifications are passed down to the next eligible player in this order:
- If a player already has a qualification earned from a event or a final and then wins another qualifying event, that event's qualification is automatically passed down in the final standings of the event.
- If a player already qualified via an event and then earns another qualification from the National leaderboard, this qualification is passed down the leaderboard.
Qualifications will not be passed down in any other cases.
We use several methods to keep the league fair:
- Players use the same identifier on Unity League that they use in tournaments, so communities can verify who attends events.
- Our fraud detection checks events and results for suspicious patterns.
- We review suspicious cases manually and may ban players or organizations that try to manipulate the league.
Unity League is operated by Mana Grid GmbH and led by passionate founders Jari Rentsch and Dae-Jin Rhee. It started as a community project in Switzerland and grew from the idea that local events are more exciting when every result can be part of something bigger.
The league only works because organizers, players, and local communities keep showing up.
