Additionally, many offline tournaments are a part of the World Tour, including East Coast Throwdown 2024, CEOTaku VIII, and Frosty Faustings 2025. If you go to the website, you will see that different events are classified as Gold or Platinum. This is because Arc World Tour 2024 is based on a 3-point ranking system. Some tournaments are in a Gold tier, while others are in Platinum. Players who win Platinum tournaments immediately qualify for the Arc World Tour 2024 finals. If you don’t win a platinum tournament but consistently place top 8 in many events, your points will accumulate over time. Players with the highest points at the end of all qualifying events will receive invitations to the finals. Finally, there is another tier called Silver, which is specifically for online tournaments.
