Suggestions:
*Instead of publishing deck and sideboard, let each player ban one (or several) card(s) each before game.
*Have players /roll with referee as witness to see who goes first, higher /roll gets to choose to go first or second.
Just my two cents, I'll probably enter, but it's your tournament, run it how you like and I'm sure it'll be cool either way

1) I dont think we have enough cards in game to ban/limit any really. Ban a Newbie Dungeon and there goes the newbie dungeon strat, etc. Could just not bother with registering decks if its too annoying and make it a free for all card wise.
2) /roll for initiative! sounds easier. Don't really know if there is much advantage in going first or not. Don't really need a ref when we have automated umpire and built in rules.

Fair enough. I'm for just not registering decks, unless there's some big reason to do it. Guess it depends on if you want to let people change their decks or use completely different ones in different matches. IMO you shouldn't be able to change your deck between rounds, for sure. Once you're in the card arena, you shouldn't leave.

Or just a witness in case of disputes. I might be thinking too much into the idea of a dispute, though. Really doesn't seem to be the type of playerbase that you'd have to worry about that kind of stuff anymore.

except as it stands i'm using my lotl so to say a card is banned might mean a headache trying to get 30 cards.
I'm using too many rare cards to have any other characrer ready. now if there is a ban list SOON like before sign up happen then that seems reasonable and i can see if i can get enough cards.
yeah skip banning but here is one other thing to soncider and this is in most TCG and CCG based games: Mulligan, with reset it effects both players do both players need to agree to mulligan? does rolling for choice of first also grant that person to reset ONE AND ONLY ONE time? can a way to reset without effecting the other player work?
Think the ban on cards is stupid , in most cases the right swap between rounds is the determining factor in winning matches, n the bracket should be made after everyone signs up n registration ends, basically lc set it up good already
Maybe the forums could be good for setting day of fight between whoever got put in the bracket together
Like post what day you should get on n fight n both players agree to play that day n time

Not sure what ban you are talking about.

I don't know how to stop registration, but there are 8 people registered on now.
