non-eternal formats, that's that poo poo i don't like

FORMAT: VINTAGE
swiss rounds based on participation (this edged out league play and it's easier for me to just run another swiss so :I)
the signup deadline is going to be NEXT MONDAY, MARCH 9TH at 8AM EST
one round per week, same as before

as with the legacy tdome, post your list to officially sign up. if people feel like they need more than a week to get a list together, let me know and we can push it. themanadrain.com and mtgtop8.com both should be good resources if you just want to netdeck/get some ideas about the format, and vintagesuperleague.com has lists too.

this time around i'd like to try and feature a match each round. i'll pick one randomly from the top bracket and we can get a couple people to skype in to commentate.

please use xmage v 2015-02-07v7 and don't update unless we find a bug with this version that requires update. this is so we have fewer snafus. this version is the latest as of this post.
