Just a clarification:

[WWK] (as an expansion in 2010) won't be legal in the ladder tournament 2009 - no matter which time you'll post your security code.

I guess WWK (Worldwake) won't be legal but ZEN (Zendikar) still is?

Little short-term rule change: Dr. Opossum will upload decklists after quarterfinals has been finished as long no semifinalist vetos against this rule change.

In further Ladder-Tournaments the decklist-upload will take place after quarterfinals anyway.

Reasons for rule change:
The quarterfinalist are encouraged to write reports, allow spectators or send replays of their matches.
The ones doing this more enthusiasticly shouldn't have any disadvantage against those who reveal less of their decks by e. g. writing just a short report or disallowing spectators.
