"only XL"

Am I correct in understanding that "red" will be blue in most games, and "blue" will be red?

It seems like something along those lines is indeed the case.

When will the draw take place, and will there be a broadcast?

Applications are accepted strictly until Friday, December 14, 2012, 6:00 PM Kyiv time. After determining the exact number of participants, we will determine the final regulations for the first round. In the evening, I hope we will have time to sort out the draw as well. There will be no broadcast.
