Rise to the Top Tournament
Can't truly begin a new format without having a tournament, so without further adieu I present the Rise to the Top tourny in which you will face off against others in determining who has the best deck built for the new format. The tournament will begin with swiss rounds (determined by the amount of participants) followed by single elimination. I will explain the rules now.

Rules:

- The current banlist is in effect. Besides that, there are no other deck restrictions.
- Match duels, best 2/3. Deck changing is only permitted between matches during the swiss rounds. Prior to the last round of swiss, decklists will be sent to me via pm and will no longer be changed.  
- Any and all disputes will be pm'ed to me. I will seek the help of a DA Judge in any case I cannot handle.
- Zero tolerance for cheating. If caught, you will be disqualified immediately. If you believe the opponent has/is cheating, pm me with screenshots for proof.
- Only register if you can afford the time. I will not hesitate to drop anyone due to inactivity without a valid excuse.
- There will be 5 rounds of swiss followed by single elimination rounds.
- Participants will be given 4 days during each round to contact each other and set up a match. If not done, active participants will be given the win, just pm me, I will verify.

So Nova, let me get this straight. People are allowed to switch decks during swiss?

Carlito, are you sure? Post again to confirm please.

Yes Exiled, I am allowing deck editing/deck changing during the swiss rounds. Unless the majority has an objection to it, I see no problem with this. As stated, prior to the last round of swiss, each participant will send a decklist that will remain as their deck of choice for the remainder of the tournament.

For a chance to have more join, I will be extending the registration deadline for another week. There will be no more extensions. First post has been updated to reflect this.

Is rule sharking counted as cheating? Also, does anything special happen if there is a draw?

Rulesharking is a players right to enforce the rules of the game or the precise requirements that need to be met for a certain card to resolve correctly. For example Mind Crush. Often times people say BLS ( and yes we all know what they mean ) but still in actual rules this is not correct. So no, rulesharking isn't considered cheating EVER, however it will be perceived as annoying and won't create an opening for popularity, but if you aren't aiming for that sir, you should be good to go.

As for the actual tournament, when will it start?

@ isetrh: As TDP has already touched base on, no rulesharking is not considered cheating but doing so heavily is frowned upon due to the problems it can cause. Obviously, use common sense here.

@ Carlito: You are not dropping from the tournament is what I'm understanding from your last post, which is fine.

@ Everone: The tournament will begin April 2nd.

@ Thunder: I will be dropping him. Thanks for pointing it out.

It is all good, especially since you have gotten my interest at the moment. Simply because you are asking a question that holds a rather obvious answer ( well at least for myself ) and yet you are asking a question which would indicate you yourself knows every little detail of most of the rulings out there for this game.

You have my key interest from this moment on sir.
