What does a Round 1 Bye prize from a Skirmish mean for a Regional Qualifier?

Ruling: At the next regional qualifier you attend, you automatically win your first round and start playing from round 2. You still need to buy a ticket to participate in the regional qualifier.

Sequence:

• Round 1: You receive an automatic win without playing
• Round 2 onwards: You play normally

Nuances:

• The bye does not grant free entry to the regional qualifier; a ticket purchase is still required
• Not all regional qualifier attendees are Skirmish winners; the bye is specifically for those who won it as a prize
