A friend of mine said that the rating system is going to be undergoing a restructuring as of 2009 to 2010... I was just wondering if anyone had a link to any of the news on this issue. Cause it would seem to me that if this is true, that Legacy and Vintage are going to be becoming more popular as means to the ends of getting into worlds...

Look for the Nov 4th one.

So now they will treat every single match with equal value, and everyone will just have one rating.

Also: "The individual formats that will make up the DCI-total rating are Standard, Extended, Block Constructed, Vintage, Legacy, Sealed Deck, Draft, Three-Person Team (Constructed and Limited), Two-Person Team (Constructed and Limited)."

So yes, Legacy will count for ratings.

This is gonna be kinda weird I guess, since you can have limited geniuses qualify for contructed GPs or PTs and vice versa. But otherwise, I'm glad that Legacy now counts for stuff. I swear, Legacy gets like no respect from alot of players.

yeah its nice, but it also means that Legacy is going to see a sudden rise in popularity amongst the so called "Spikes" and "Sharks" or whatever have you.

I consider that a positive thing.
