Higher Swiss Standing chooses in g1 in play-offs who gonna start.
If you have any questions....
the small print: in case cockatrice becomes unavailable for more than 2 weeks, the tournament would become annulled and e/o gets back starting fee (no prices). I hope and expect this won't happen.

otherwise tournament starts March, 9th
Season XXI will have the same standing order like season XX (see above).
Arid Mesa will be guaranteed for the winner (marsh flats for Season XX-Winner if chosen) if we reach at least 10 players this time.
