The Spoils Tournament Experience
The Spoils Tournament Experience is the official name of the sanctioned tournament system for The Spoils, a Collectible Card Game created and distributed by Tenacious Games. It will award over US$1,000,000.00 to top players in tournaments worldwide between October 1, 2006, and the Championship Cruise in winter 2008[needs update].
STE points
The core idea behind The Spoils Tournament Experience is that players earn points by competing in and winning sanctioned tournaments. Players can then redeem these points for further prizes, including a room on an upcoming Caribbean cruise on which they can compete in The Spoils World Championship tournament. However, currently, due to financial difficulties, the cruise has been canceled until further notice.
Invitationals
Multiple times per year, Invitational tournaments are held to coincide with the pre-release of a new expansion set. These tournaments award STE points and prizes, including enough STE Points for the winner of the tournament to redeem them for a free room on the World Championship Cruise.
Invitational qualifiers
The Invitational Qualifier (IQ) system was launched in late 2006. Retail stores can be directly involved in the sanctioned tournament system by running IQs at the local level. Players can thus learn to play the game, purchase product, and compete in sanctioned play to earn STE Points all in the same location. Additionally, any player that wins a local IQ event is automatically qualified for an upcoming Invitational Tournament.
$13K Series
The Spoils $13k is a series of tournaments held in major cities across America. Each tournament awards over US$13,000.00 in addition to other prizes.
History
The Spoils Tournament Experience was officially launched at Gen Con Indy 2006.
