Good compromise 10 men.
Yeah... no. That doesn't solve the problem. What if the best team just cannot get to play 9 matches, while all the others can? Who is to blame then?

If seven players can't manage to finish ~1.28 matches each over 4 days... it's supposed to be a relaxed league style approach but it's not that relaxed.

If I extend rounds to be a week long then everybody would always have the weekends to play, but it would take a month and half to finish. 

Still looking for more opinions on # of matches per round.

Is it OK, if the account I use for this tournament doesn't match my account name?
That which can be destroyed by the truth should be. Speak the truth even when your voice falters.

By can't, I mean they won't find opponents. But this likely won't happen.

I think that 15 sounds like a reasonable number. This amounts to about 2 games per person which should be manageable.

What about new cards? Are we allowed to use Mitosis this round?

The new 1.27 cards:
    Mitosis Acceleration Ghost of the Past Shield Iridium Warden Sanctuary
Are not allowed to be used.

Cards that were changed, like Skull Shield are allowed to be used.

The trading aspect of the next draft will surely add an extra part of strategy to the event.
The additions of secret forums will make it easier to communicate with teammates.
Overall I will enjoy the new rules and actions

Never did get an icon for that, lol.  They need to work out icon's somehow.

The only thing missing right now would seem to be a procedure to determine the single winner of the icon, if you decide to give one for this event.  Also what that icon would be.
Carpe Diem!!
