Going forward would you please put the timing in the first post?  It's kind of a hassle to have to look through the entire thread for information that should appear in the event description.

The opening post says signup ends at GMT 23:59 on August 7th, 2010.  But it doesn't say whether the event begins directly thereafter, how many rounds it is, how long the rounds last, and whether there's time between the rounds.

If you have all that information, you could just create the original post to say:

Round 1 has
Round 2 has
Round 3 has
Round 4 has

Thanks, and looking forward to this!

is there any prize(s) for this event?

PVP Events don't offer in-game prizes, but you do get a cool sword Forum Award.

Building decks
The only deckbuilding restriction in the phat deck event is that all decks MUST be exactly 60 cards big.  Changing your deck and mark between rounds is completely allowed.

Matches
Once all players have signed up, Essence will make brackets like a normal tournament, and announce matches in this thread.  Players will then have three days to play thier matches.  After three days, Essence will announce the next set of matches.  Matches will be best-of-three.

Scoring
Special Scoring System --When you win a match, you gain points equal to 60+(the number of upgraded cards in your opponent's deck)-(the number of upgraded cards in your deck.)   The person with the most score (not the most victories) at the end of the tournament wins.  Yes, that means that an unupgraded deck that beats a completely-upgraded deck scores 120 points -- and a completely upgraded deck that beats a completely unupgraded deck scores 0.  The player with the highest SCORE at the end, regardless of wins and losses, wins the event.

How do you score 2-0 wins versus 2-1 wins?

Edit...
Will those who win via 2-0 get bonus points or they get the same treatment as 2-1 victories?

[Demagog]

I changed my mind, I don't feel like playing.

[RavingRabbid]

I changed my mind, I don't feel like playing.

I do, too.

[Appawesome]

I changed my mind, I don't feel like playing.

I do, too.

I don't feel like playing either. All I would win is a forum Icon. But I'm still going to, because if everybody quits I win a forum icon by default.

As I explained in the OP, each individual fight scores it's own points, and points stack onto your score even if you don't win the overall match.

Matches
 Matches will be best-of-three.

Maybe you want to remove the "Matches will be best-of-three." It has no point in being there.

[Essence]

It certainly does.  Matches ARE best-of-three.
