In a best of 3, 1v1 game after a player wins the dice roll, when do they decide to go first or second, and does this happen before or after battlefield is chosen and hand is drawn?

Ruling: The current rules do not specify the procedure for best of 3 matches. Match procedures including turn order determination after the first game will be detailed in the Tournament Rules Document (TRD), which is not yet released.

Sequence: (for initial game setup, as stated in rules)

• Battlefield is chosen
• First player is chosen as all players agree
• Draw hand

Nuances:

• The common assumption is that the loser of the previous game chooses whether to go first or second in subsequent games, but this is not currently specified in the rules
• The rules reference to "mode of play" caused some confusion about whether this should already be documented
