One important note about rules:
The old council calling rule of 20MP has been dropped from early rounds. Now council is called normally on 25MP!
That may make first one or two games sweetly painful, but it makes whole ruleset much clearer, when you don't need to remember non-standard exceptions. Other change is winning-by-20 rule, which gives now extra point if you win by 20 or more MP-difference. So, 4-0 is now possible. Also, after seeing high quality of the decks in the last rounds and still having my high hopes of b_took playing for team USA, there is now also The One Ring -win rule giving straight 5-0 (25-0 MP + 1 extra).
Some stupidity that has been dropped (already during the last tournament) is "hot hours" and "game and trading phases".
Summary of rules can be squeezed in 3 easy steps, that should cover all necessary info for newcomers:
- Don't drink and trade!
- Don't trade or buy between your match and your team mates match.
- Report raw MP-score after the match instead of any other scoring system like swiss.

First pairings are in. Feel free to play. Don't worry about a bit funny stats. My web program is by no means ready for real use, but i use it still. Couldn't display matches in any other way than putting 0-0 scores in, which displays a little bit funny.

Due to popular demand i increased deadline for games from 18:00 GMT to 23:59 GMT.
Hmm, i just realized that there is downside of secret trading. It makes cheating possible
So, need to add rule that BETWEEN your team's matches, you are not allowed to be on the table with your teammate when BOTH in sealed mode. The implementation of the secret trading requires both being in sealed-mode. You can still have strategy meetings. Just one of the players must be non-sealed.
