Austria gets travel awards for Top 2?

As for the bye thing, I assume they meant invitation. Otherwise everyone except for grinders would have a bye, which kinda defeats the purpose.
 
If the Top 4 having a bye into day 2 is new, I definitely think it's a positive shift. For a 'world championships', I think it could benefit from seeing a little more international competition (with that said, the levels are higher than other card games I've seen, but being in the US makes it very heavily weighted in the US's favour).
 
I think it is a typo. Nobody is going to get a bye at Worlds except if you consider not having to play in the Grinder (or Day 1 as a lot of people like to call it) at Worlds.

I would be pissed having to go through the grinder which IMO should be harder then most nationals other then USA's to not receive a bye when random nationals in europes top 4 gets them. If they were to give byes at worlds I would assume it would be to only nationals winners as that makes sense. If everyone in top 4 got them a good lot of people would be sitting out first round.
 
World Championship Invite = Bye into Day 2. Calling it a Bye is a correct use of the word (I suppose misleading in Pokemon terms).
 
We are very sorry about the confusion our Prize Roster caused, it was typo as some of you already guessed. Please replace "Bye" with "Invitation".
The prize roster for German Nats is fixed already, btw.
