The schedule on the second post has the last part with the wrong month.
Also, I guess we want some more players to sign up, and since the 2nd IQ is already in top 8, I guess I can sticky this.
EDIT: I'm also quite knowledgeable on the rules of MTG. Feel free to add me to the list of judges if you want. Ask raalic; I saved his match a couple of times in the past.
I would also like to voice my approval of moving to something other than single elim. Also, Lantern, you forgot to add me to the list of people for this tournament.
I'd like to voice my unapproval for moving to something other than single elim. What is wrong with the way it is? It's going fine. Not only that, but other ways are longer and would be harder to finish within the month's time.
I guess it might get annoying for those that almost always lose in the first or second round, but hey, there is always next month.
On top of it all, it seems strange to switch the entire structure of the IQs right in the middle of it all. If we were going to change it, I'd much rather see it be done after the yearly invitational.

But that's just my $0.02
I agree. Single Elimination is fine. Double will only slow everything down and cause overages.

Tantarus: It didn't make the gaka greifer level, so it should be fine
[16:56]  tomathan88: Hey brukie, thanks for the new formating!
also, when can we expect to see m13 on cockatrice?
[16:58]  Brukie: you're welcome... expect a follow-up release shortly though, there are plenty of minor bugs that need to go away
M13 will be up when it's on Gatherer
[16:59]  tomathan88: awesome
@Gaka: Thank you for agreeing.
@Dodito: The replays are cool and all, but I'm not sure how much good they will do for our IQs. I'm sure we don't want everyone in the tournament knowing what deck we are playing due to the replays.
We can upload the matches after the tournament (Or at least the Top 8 matches if it is too much work)
Explain? Sorry I didnt quite get it.
And these are valid concerns about switching it from single elem, ones I pointed out my self. I'd like to hear more from people about it. (luckly we still have about a week to discuss it. Worse comes to worse, we can give it a try on a test basis (Which I believe is what it is currently on)

You can do it after the tournament is over. I'm sure many would be interested in replays of the top 8 matches.

I'm going to toss my vote in for staying single-elimination. Swiss rounds needlessly complicate things in my opinion, since there's only prizes to the top 4 anyway.

Quote from Head Judge at a tournament »
Please do not have food at the tables. We do not need a messy play area. No, you can not use a Sierra Mist-ic to fetch a Batterspill.
I'd like to sign up as well. Aranfan is my name on Cockatrice.
When do I have to finalize my decklist by?
7/8/12
Were hopeing we'll have a m13 patch by then.
Speaking of the patch, there is a incomplete patch in MTGsals online section. Would that be too complicated, or since its not official, not what we want to do?
Also by my counting, since elem has 4 for, while double has 4 as well.
I agree with u-579. Lets either have the full set or nothing at all. This includes cards we have access to that aren't currently legal, such as rancor.
As for single elim vs. double elim, don't forget to vote people! IMO double elim is a lot cooler, but it just would take way to long to finish in a months time; plus the past to tournaments are single elim, and it would be awkward to change the whole set up in the middle of the IQs.
Vote single elim!!
EDIT: Lantern, can you not only give the vote count, but list the people who voted for each one?
I would be interested in entering. Can I test a few different decks in the next week before I decide on one to play? My cockatrice name is HammerAndSickled.
Oh, I thought he was talking about playing a spell that is countering a spell with counters on it as it comes into play, but I see you guys were just discussing whether he was flashing a creature with flash in order to flash a flashback or just flashing a creature with flash but not needing flash in order to flashback a spell without flash.

Said before in many places on the thread, your decklist needs to be finalized and sent with it's code to Lantern's PM box by 7/8/12... in 13 days.

yep. you got time. Thats why the sign ups are so early.
I do like the idea of swiss style especially since I have gone out in the first round each time! But in all seriousness isn't the point of this to get people to playtest modern? The more games the better imo.
I think #3 should be used as a test run to see if we as a community will invest the time in order to properly complete the tournament in a timely manner.
Here's hoping we get the patch in time. That being said, if there are some bugs to work out then I would be wary of using it...I just need that new red draw/ditch spell!

Redownload cockatrice. In fact, until you do, you most likely can't even log in.
A number of changes have been made, such as being able to sort of record matches and then upload them for people to see, etc.

Are the files of the replays inside a folder ? I thought we could just download the file and drop it in the cockatrice folder.
I will investigate tonight when I get home.
And here's to hoping they spoil the rest of m13 in time...
