People can gather here to play against other teams and win prizes. There is also a feature where you as a player can be channeled into an already formed team lacking players in their team. So: free tournaments are open to all.

As players gets more comfortable and have learned sPvP's basis, they embark on the next level, paid tournaments, where players can challenge themselves through other experienced players.

These tournaments have many similarities with the free tournaments. The difference is that there is, as stated in the name, an entry fee. In order to participate in a tournament, you need a ticket, which you can buy through ArenaNets in-game gem storeor you can receive it in the reward chests that you can get in free tournaments and when you go up in rank.

These tournaments will award all who participate and offer better prices in general in comparison with free tournaments. Of course, the fact is that the most successful team obtains the best prices.

Adjustable arenas (Custom arenas)

The aim is that there should be a place where you can play with select individuals without outsiders - a place they can call their own and organize their own tournaments. This in itself also means the ability to select their opposing team will be. You decide whether the map should be open to all, or locked into a few pieces through password protection. ArenaNet will explain more about custom arenas at a later time.
