1. Are custom magic items allowed?
2. The revised DMG has a section detailing a cost modifier for "always on" magic items, based on the original spell's duration. Thus, if a spell normally lasts 1 round/level, the cost to make it "always on" is x4 of the base cost (so spell level x caster level x 2,000 x 4). This is NOT in the SRD. Are you using this rule?
3. The Anthropomorphic Ape in Savage Species is just a little busted. So are some of the others.
4. In 3.5, some templates modify race-only or race-and-class HD. Are you going with this for things like the lich and vampire?
5. Eh, I'll go ahead and say it: I'm thinking of playing a lich. Where is my phylactery, and how will that work in terms of the arena?
6. Given that the character level is 12th, do you want to limit 7th level spells the same way you are limiting 8th and 9th level spells?
7. No cohorts!?!?!?!?! Waaaaaaaah! Waaaaaaah!
8. During the grandstanding 0-3 prep rounds, will we know the location of our opponents? And by "no attacks", do you include the limitation, "spells may only affect me or my companions"? For example, could I deeper darkness a segment of the arena that I am not in?
9. Will we be placed randomly in the arena, or allowed to pick our starting coordinates?

as said earlier, I fear seasongs questions.
Ok, I'm going to have to consider each one of those carefully before I answer, maybe I'll get another judge on board to help. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
As you did, all non PHB races and templates are up for my review, you can play it, but it might be at a higher than listed cost. If you want to consider a specific one, email me, so as to keep it secret.

legal question....something I'm really unfamiliar with
if something is in the DMG or the PHB, but not the SRD, is it OGL?

No, XP tables are an example of this. Reason why Monte Cook had to tailor his for Unearthed Arcana (or vice versa, that just confuses me now).
