Well, the German Fantasy ToS tournament takes place in Sept.
In the new WD, GW announced that players need to qualify for the ToS event
in a way that each hobby store will provide a local tournament and the winner is
automatically qualified.
Moreover, there are 10 wild card tickets available at the online store in August.

Looks pretty strange to me because the hobby stores are generally very small.
How can they provide a larger tournament? Maybe 500 pts?

Possibly rent out space in a hall? Do they say how many points a qualifier should be and how many players minimum it should have? or just one per store?

Interesting. I know they are supposed to announce the rules for ToS in the US soon.

There is no further information so far, the only source is the WD in June.
The GW website has not yet announced the Fantasy event.

Ab dem 17. Juli: Der Weg zum Ruhm

Am 25. und 26. September 2010 wird das „Throne of Skulls"-Turnier für Warhammer in der Drakenburg in Düsseldorf stattfinden.

Gespielt wird natürlich mit den Regeln der neuen Warhammer-Edition, und anders als sonst müssen sich die Teilnehmer über ein Ausscheidungsturnier in den Hobbyzentren für die Teilnahme qualifizieren.

Das Auftaktevent für den „Weg zum Ruhm" findet am Samstag, den 17. Juli, in allen Hobbyzentren statt. Für eine Startgebühr von 5 Euro kannst du dir dort deine Teilnahme sichern, und dem Sieger winkt nichts geringeres als ein Ticket für das „Throne of Skulls"-Turnier, bei dem es wieder um die begehrten Trophäen geht.

Mustere deine Truppen und stelle dich deinen Gegnern, denn der Weg zum Ruhm ist in diesem Jahr länger und steiniger als jemals zuvor!

Nur zehn Tickets werden ab Ende August über unsere Webseite auf „klassischem" Wege erhältlich sein. Alle weiteren Informationen erhältst du in deinem Hobbyzentrum.

In fact, the situation for the Fantasy ToS tournament is as I said.
The last sentence says that more information is available at the hobby stores.
I guess they mean pt levels, missions, objectives, scoring, and whatnot.
