Fergus is intending to make sure those games have rule enforcement.

Yes, and I think it is fair for Fergus to require this. Right now, I’m seeing a lot of discussion but little consensus. Here is one list I made of candidates and another list Fergus made. We already have listed six variants.

If we instead interpret “First-come first-serve” as the first six proposed variants where the rules are enforced, so far the following presets enforce rules:

Looking at this list, the next three people who make a game courier preset enforcing the rules will get their game in this tournament.

In the interests of moving forward, I think, since Fergus is organizing this tournament, he should make the judgment call on what six games the tournament has. I like the enforcing rules requirements; if you want your variant in this tournament, you need to figure out how to program game courier to play the variant.
