To clarify, for example if you are doing alternating Army Draft-PYP (Pick your poison) then randomize which of those you are starting with for round 1 or round 1 of the playoffs.

As such, it allows us to ease into the event a little more easily, particularly for the new players in a given event.

Is this a definitive statement and rule by dok? Or is it a matter of none of the other organizers care and dok has a bias one way so that's the way it will remain?
Just checking as there has been no change to the order in alternating formats, and I feel it's too bad because I typically find the PyP or Chaos of Battle formats more enjoyable. I also think as time goes by the benefit to the new player argument gets less relevant, but today may still be.
