The number of Professional Points awarded to the top finishers at Grand Prix are changing. These points will now be awarded based upon the number of match points earned.
- All players who finish with 39 or more match points at an individual Grand Prix will receive 4 Pro Points (previously 3)
- All players who finish with 36–38 match points at an individual Grand Prix will receive 3 Pro Points (previously 2)
- All team members who finish with 31–32 match points at a team Grand Prix will receive 2 Pro Points (previously 1)
These changes are retroactive to the first Grand Prix of the 2014/15 season which are Grand Prix Utrecht and Grand Prix Protland, both taking place August 9-10, 2014. These changes will be reflected in the Player of the Year race starting next week. The full announcement can be found here.

@HeleneBergeot good change, thanks! (I have no finishes to retroactively apply this to, but here's hoping it matters in the future.)
