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.

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 finanical 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 IQ's 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.
