It's a holdover from Magic. It's become a fairly standard Magic tourney
rule because in Magic, going first is a huge advantage. Basically, if you
win the coin toss/dice roll, you get to "Play or Draw", to some extent
eliminating teh hug advantage that going first in magic can have.
In Shadowrun, though, since you can;t do a whole lot until at least second
turn, I think the rule, wile interesting, is unnecessary, and kinda
penalizes you for going first, rather than balancing anything...

Sorry to do this Bull but I gotta agree with Noah here I personally don't care
to give up my draw..hell I forget it enough on my own...and my second thought
on this subject is that this isn't Magic and I feel using those rules does
SRCCG an injustice
