2023 Decathlon 2: Pauper event is bugged

It's supposed to be historic pauper, per the announcement, but it only allows Standard pauper decks and rejects a deck which contains only commons (many of which are historic and not standard)

Never mind about the refund, I just played the league with a standard pauper deck :(

I'd tried entering again to see if the problem had been fixed. I don't want to play Standard Pauper again (with just Alchemy Horizons: Baldur's Gate added in, bizarrely). Please either fix the event so it allows all historic commons or else refund my 2000 gold entry fee.

For yet another piece of evidence, the Decathlon 2 instructions in MTGA say "the commons on MTG Arena", not "commons that are legal in Standard"

Hm, spoke too soon, I made a mistake when trying to create the 'link to highlight' in the OP. Here's a working 'link to highlight'

@Mikail thank you for the information.
Another factor is that the announcement page itself says Historic Pauper in its second description of the event (near the bottom of the page). Any support person looking at this ticket can see that for themselves if they just click on the link I included in the OP of this ticket. -

Ich kann nirgends lesen, das es sich um ein Standard-Pauper-Event handelt und ich mein Historic-Pauper-Deck nicht benutzen kann. Ich möchte bitte mein Gold zurück.
I can't read anywhere that this is a Standard Pauper Event and that i can't use my Historic Pauper Decks. I want my gold back, please.

The answer I got from support was: "The format is Standard Pauper, and Historic cards cannot be entered". At least they reimbursed me for the entry fee.
However, it was not described as such, It even mentioned that Persistent Petitioners are banned even though they are not Standard legal. (It says Format: Best-of-One Historic Pauper on the website still...)
And it seems that you can submit cards from Alchemy Horizons: Baldur's Gate (s: HBG), which is not a standard legal set.

I tried playing with a standard-only pauper deck, but the weird thing is that I saw people playing alchemy cards which aren't legal in standard. After that run of Decathlon 2 finished, I tried restarting MTGA, but it still won't let me start a new run of Decathlon 2 with a historic pauper deck
