This event will be a chaos-magic event. Decks must be Legacy-legal (or possibly Vintage... though I think this will be ruled out). Here's the low-down, straight from a recent email:
"Our next big event will be a tournament where each round consists of a few
chaos games. Points in these games will be earned in the usual way of
surviving opponents, as well as by being the player to kill opponents.
This second part should encourage players to actually kill each other, and
will keep the speed of the games somewhat high.
"The twist is the following: you don't have to use the same deck in each
round. In fact, each player may bring as many decks as they desire, and
can switch decks as they se fit between rounds.
"Points earned are cumulative. The player with the most points at the end
of all the rounds wins!"
I have gotten some questions about the format. I post the answers here:
You: Is the format Chaos as in Chaos-Rob-Chaos-God?
Me: No.
You: When is the tourney?
Me: Hopefully in January.
You: What are restrictions on deck construction?
Me: It will either be Vintage or Legacy. Please feel free to discuss! I'd love to make it Vintage, but I'm afraid of it being too broken:(
You: What happens if a player wins due to some card's effect?
Me: Then everyone who was alive just before that card's effect is considered to die "to that card". Points are allocated appropriately.
You: Can we make it Highlander?
Me: I'd actually like to have as few deck restrictions as possible. So... let's say no, even if it would normally make things more chaotic.
I'll answer additional questions in further comments.

Update: In the case of unequal simultaneous matches (for instance, a 6-player game and a 5-player game) surviving and killing people will be worth different amounts of points.
Using our example, each kill or survival is worth 1 point in the 6-player game, while they are worth 1.25 in the 5-player game. In this way, it is possible to gain a maximum of 10 points in either game. In the 6-player game, you must kill the other 5 players (5 kills = 5 points, and 5 survivals = 5 points). In the 5-player game, killing the other four players (4 kills = 5 points, and 4 survivals = 5 points) also results in earning 10 points.
Also, between each round, we will completely randomize who is in each battle. Then, players will independently choose their deck for that round and the games will begin. So, yes, it is possible that one game can occur with the exact same people as in the last game, though that is unlikely.
There will probably be about 3 or 4 rounds, depending on how many people we have, so the tournament should take quite a long time.
January works better for me!
We're having the Tourney on Feb 11th, btw:-P
