Upped or non-upped?

I'm 99.99% positive it will be unnupped, but TO's please specify

[Higurashi]

I personally only specify when it's upped, since those are the least common.

I don't think that's such a good idea considering the reaction from several people last time when the rules weren't "specific enough" about element restrictions including cards, you do remember of course, don't you?

[Higurashi]

Completely irrelevant reference, and I (obviously) know full well what ambiguity entails.

[~Napalm]

Any reason not to make it no deck changing throughout the entire tourney? That would be the TRUE Lazy Mans Tourney

Irrelevant?  There was a considerable amount of confusion involved because people didn't have the ability to process the inferred rules implemented which then resulted in people losing duels by default because they had not adhered by the rules properly.  Now I can see the exact same happening here where it is the prelims and someone states that "Oh, I thought it was upped because the rules didn't state otherwise."  It makes little difference to me if you change it or not as I will not be participating in this tournament due to scheduling conflicts, but I would assume you would want as few complications as possible on the day of the tourney to make it run efficiently.  *shrugs* You're the TO in any case, do what you feel is best.

D'you reckon Lazy Person's Game sounds good? 'Cause I dunno..
@Napalm: That's a bit too lazy if you ask me. I dun wanna remove that much of the meta-game.
@will: You referenced a rule regarding element restrictions. This is about naming each tournament. When it comes to that, I'd rather keep this way of placing titles. It's a less urgent issue, and one that's easier to learn for the general public. I'll happily answer any questions regarding that.
As a side note, I've had to DQ plenty of people who have used upped cards in an unupped tournament despite it being specified in the rules. Doesn't really have any impact. Thanks for the concern.

You can't.

Every match is made of 2 or 3 duels (depending on if its a sweep or not).

These rules don't make a mention of ever being able to change between duels, regardless of circumstances.

Between the duel 3 of your first match and duel 1 of your second match would still be between duels.

Rules say you can't do it between duels, so it does end up being the whole tourney.

Might as well just say that though, since the only times NOT between duels is before the tourney starts and after its over.

It is a little silly written as is, if it is intended that you can change between matches.  The rules say no changing between duels, but between matches is also between duels, just between duels with a different player.
