Monthly Sprints work like this: - Twice every week day at alternating times (see schedule below), a four-round Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game Sprint constructed tournament will be held in the Tournaments Lobby.
- Entrants in the tournament will receive Sprint points based on participation and number of wins.
- Cumulative rankings will be posted after each event on the Sprint leaderboards.
- On the last weekday of the month, the player with the most Sprint points on the Sprint leaderboards will win:
- A "Choose A Loot Card" good for a Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game loot card from the current set.
- A virtual Gold Sprint Winner Medal, displayed next to the winner's name in the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game lobbies. - Players with 100 or more Sprint points for the month will receive:
- A virtual Silver Sprint Winner Medal, displayed next to the players' name in the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game lobbies. - Players with 40 to 99 Sprint points for the month will receive:
- A virtual Bronze Sprint Winner Medal, displayed next to the players' name in the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game lobbies. - Players will earn Sprint promo cards at the following rates:
- 30 Sprint points = 1 promo card
- 40 Sprint points = 2 promo cards
- 50 Sprint points = 3 promo cards
- 60 Sprint points = 4 promo cards
- 70 Sprint points = 4 promo cards + 1 foil promo card
- 80 Sprint points = 4 promo cards + 2 foil promo cards
- 90 Sprint points = 4 promo cards + 3 foil promo cards
- 100+ Sprint points = 4 promo cards + 4 foil promo cards - On the first weekday of the next month, all Sprint points and Sprint rankings will be reset, but medal winners will keep their medals. If players win subsequent medals of the same color, a number will appear inside that medal. For example, the number "3" will appear inside a three-time gold winner's medal.
The Sprint point schedule for daily Sprint events looks like this:
- Receive one (1) point for each round lost.
- Receive three (3) points for each round won.
The fewest number of Sprint points a player can receive for a completed tournament is four (4), and the maximum is twelve (12).
The monthly Sprint schedule is as follows: (provided no other events are in progress)
Mondays - 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (PT - U.S.A.)

Please see the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game Events Calendar for details on this month's Sprints.
Players can still enter as many Sprint tournaments as they would like, however, only the best four (4) Sprint point showings each week will be tallied for a player. All other Sprint tournaments will not count for points, but Sprint games played will help decide tie-breakers. If a month ends in the middle of the week, players will receive credit for the top four events for each partial week.
The format for daily events will be four (4) rounds of Swiss play, although we'll occasionally post special formats a couple of days in advance to keep players on their toes, competitively speaking! All Sprint ratings will now be updated each night and not at the conclusion of the event.
The results of Sprint tournaments will have no impact on other tournament ratings and rankings.
The November 2009 monthly Sprint promo card is AEG-77 Vigo Gunship (5P10)!
International players are eligible to be listed on Sprint leaderboards and to receive virtual recognition of their achievements by winning medals, and they are now eligible to receive non-tradable versions of the Sprint promo cards.
Please see the Official Rules for details.
