How to participate as player - Unity League


Abstract

Unity League is an independent ranking system for Magic: The Gathering across Europe.

Players collect League Points to qualify for national championships, and ultimately the European Magic Cup.

How to collect points

To collect points at local and international tournaments, please follow these steps:

1. Inform your local tournament organizer

For you to receive points, your local organizer needs to register their events for the league. Hence it's essential that you inform your local gaming store (LGS) or other independent organizers about the opportunity to participate in the league and award points.

2. Create your player account

We allow all Magic formats at our participating events, even unofficial ones. You can expect that the National Championships will be hosted in a popular format of the country.

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.
