of course the rules are set, but 5minutes planning is quite long, but in upkeep you will have troubles as it has to be gone fast over it. But there are decissions like voltaric shield, and upkeep payments done there

In all games people decide on that in planning, but it is in upkeep. I want to know what you do about it. (same with lifebond stuff). I honestly would find it quite bad if i have to stress on that decission and then have 4 out of 5minutes to sit around doing nothing.

the main point about those things happening in upkeep is that the will influence the other players planning maybe

If the planning phase ends before 5 minutes, then we stop the timer. and move to the next phase This tournament is meant to be fast paced and reward players that can play within it.  The upkeep rule is stressed to be done as quick as possible to help facilitate those faster decisions and help both players move forward in the game.

***UPDATE****

After a number of private conversations with a few players, I have decided to be a bit more specific on what the upkeep phase rule implies. For the purpose of this tournament going forward, the upkeep phase must be completed within 3 minutes (if finished earlier move onto planning and proceed as normal). All optional upkeep abilities (Voltaric Shield, Treebond etc.) must be completed in this time and cannot be reversed during planning.

That is Mother's Day and Graduation Day in my part of the USA.  I will be celebrating my mother, my wife's mother and my own wife as well as my brother graduating from his MA program.
