That sounds awesome

Seconded on DarkSabre's comment, but further to that, would second-place finishers at sufficiently large Regionals (11+ players--or even third-place finishers at 21+-player Regionals) receive enough points for an Earned Bye, as they would currently obtain under the existing system?

Will that be in place before Continentals in June?

Bear in mind, all I said was that Byes were being looked at internally in tandem with the rewards store coming online. We are extremely early in the transition process. I do not anticipate making any changes now, during the competitive season, whether or not the rewards store comes online during 2019. If anything, Bye specific rewards would likely go online during the off-season for next year's Road to Worlds.
