Warrior's Preparation - RULES

[majofa]

Warrior's Preparation
Original idea by: kev   |   Developed by: kev & majofa  |   Organized by: kev & majofa

Use every card in your reasonable existence to build way too many decks to battle way too many people.... all while having way too much fun!

1. HOW TO SIGN UP?
Anyone with a forum and a chat account can sign up for this event. Start by reading the rules very carefully. Then sign up by posting on a separate sign up topic. If you cannot find a sign up topic, or if it is locked, this event is not currently active, and you will have to wait for it to restart.

Include your teammate and your preferred Team Element (your element has no benefits, it's just used to separate teams).

There is a maximum of 24 participants in this event. 2 for each team; 12 teams total.

2. GETTING READY
Build 24 decks. The team shares these decks.

Deckbuilding Rules:
Each type of Pillar, Pendulum, and Mark can only be used in two decks.
All other cards can only be used in one deck.
No Quantum Pillars, Nymphs, Shard, or Mark Cards are allowed.
All cards in the game of Elements must be contained in the 24 decks and playable without the assistance of your opponent. (Obviously excluding Quantum Pillars, Nymphs, Shards and Mark Cards)
Each deck may have an amount of upgrades equal to the amount of different cards in the deck. (unupped/upgraded cards count as the same)

All decks must be PM'd to the Event Organizer before the start of the event.

3. GAME PLAY
Each team plays every other team twice, and no player may play the same team more than once.
No deck may be used more than once.

4. MATCHES
Matches are best-of-3.

- You may not change decks during a match.

It's a good idea to either record the matches, or take screenshots as proof, in case something weird, like a desync error, happens. Remember, a player who gets caught cheating, will be permanently banned from all Elements community PvP events, so please play fair.

5. AFTER DUELS
All players must submit their results and decks in their team's battle thread.

6. WINNER
The top 4 teams advance to the semifinals, where the highest ranked team chooses their opponent. Teams are allowed to use one of their 2 remaining decks. The 2 winning teams advance to the finals where the other players on the teams will face off using their remaining deck.
The winners are also automatically qualified for the PvP World Championships - 2013.

7. REWARDS

Could this look any more fun? How long is the Deckbuilding time?

[majofa]

Hopefully before War vaultbuilding starts.

[Spielkind]

so signup should start before new year?

[mrpaper]

Sounds great.. an event where you will need goood chemistry building with you're partner. 

Do Pillars and pends also needs to be there  twice or only once will do?

[deuce22]

Just to clarify, you can theoretically make 2 decks with gravy pills, 2 other decks with gravy pends, and 2 other decks with gravy mark, correct?

Correct.

All cards in the game of Elements must be contained in the 24 decks and playable without the assistance of your opponent.

I am confused by this.  Does this mean we have to use every single card in existence in 24 decks?  Seems like a fun challenge.

Correct. (except Nymphs, Shards, and Mark Cards... which can't be included in any deck)

Can these shift or are these locked in place as much as the deck build itself?

You will need to PM all your decks to the organizer, before the battle phase starts.

But the question is, if we decided to change what was upgraded, can we do that?  Or rather, do we even need to note what we plan on upgrading before we do so when the match happens?
