Cactus Game Design Message Boards

I would suggest that you NOT close sign-ups and let a couple people become alternates.  It is almost for sure that someone who thinks they will be available that day will end up being unavailable.  When that happens, you'll be glad that you have a couple people to plug in the holes.

FWIW, this is not a single-day tournament, and I'd be pretty confident that everyone who signs up is able to the one game required to participate. And alternates after the first round would be like giving certain people byes, so I'd say it's probably best to have people just let Chris know if they all of the sudden become busy...if it is enough time to find a replacement, great, else the person bowing out will just have to forfeit.

I added something at the top of the first post.

I don't care if people use more than one deck per game (since I can't enforce that anyway), but I'm going to say one Plot rip total. I'll have something for that in the competition topic that will be up in the next few days.
