This is your social contract:

These tournaments are going to be ran as closely as possible to tournaments at the store. We want to give you all the ability to test decks, be competitive, and earn prizes, but PLEASE do not be the reason we have to stop. We want this to be fun, and maybe even something we continue after the dust settles and things are back to normal. Remember Wheaton’s Law. Don’t know it? Google it. Expect mis-clicks to happen. If the mistake is recognized relatively quickly, then allow them to take it back. Taking advantage of this is cheating. If people are found to be rule-sharking or taking advantage of leniency, we will disallow your participation in future events.

Have fun. And Please give feedback.
