Singleton decks are "highlander" decks, i.e. there can be only one
copy of each non-basic-land card in the deck. In addition we have
a list of banned cards. The general rules and bannings are detailed
below.
Past events:
Our first Singleton event was on April 26, 2008 and was basically a
"Legacy" type Singleton. If anyone should be interested then Palles
deck-list can be found here:
Stuffy's Furnace (Palles RW Singleton).
On November 16, 2008 we had a second singleton event, but this time we
had restricted us to cards from the Ravnica set and later (i.e.
Ravnica through Shards of Alara, including Coldsnap but not the
8-9-10 Basic sets. If anyone should be interested then Palles
deck-list can be found here:
It's a Saproling stupid! (Palles GB
RAV++ Singleton).
Rules for construction of Singleton decks in general:
Singleton decks must contain a minimum of sixty cards. There is no
maximum deck size; however, you must be able to shuffle your deck
with no assistance. If a player wishes to use a sideboard, it must
contain exactly fifteen cards.
With the exception of basic land cards, a player's combined deck and
sideboard may not contain more than one of any individual card,
counted by its English card title equivalent. All cards named
Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest are basic. (The five Ice
Age snow-covered lands -- Snow-Covered Plains, Snow-Covered Island,
Snow-Covered Swamp, Snow-Covered Mountain, and Snow-Covered
Forest -- are also basic lands).
We do not have enough Singleton matches yet to rank players for those
alone, so we rank them as "constructed" together with all
constructed formats we play. Those are "ABC-common", "Type 1", and
"Singleton". Here are the current constructed
ratings.
For our first event we used the banned lists of the Legacy format and
of the Online Singleton format summed. After each event the players
are allowed to add cards to the banned list, but only cards that
were played during the last event. Basic lands cannot be banned.
Each player is allowed to ban (Rank - 1) cards where
Rank = players final rank in last event.

1)
Yona gets to ban 2 cards, 2 are chosen:
1) Gifts Ungiven, blue combo tutor
