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. You must have at least 1 Shard to participate.
Maximum amount of participants for this event is 32 (24?). If the event is full, you can still sign up as a reserve player, and will get a chance to join the event if any of the 32 (24?) players doesn't show up during round 1.
2. GETTING READY
Build a deck of any size (from 30 to 60 cards), you must include at least 1 Shard. In round 1, you may only use 1 Shard.
- You may use any non-upgraded cards in the game.
- You may use Upgraded Shards. You may have a number of additional upgraded cards equal to the number of shards you may use that round.
- The cards you choose to upgrade will stay upgraded during the whole event. You will not be able to change which cards are upgraded, nor can you downgrade them.
- You may not use upgraded Pillars or Pendulums.
- You cannot change your deck between rounds, other than to add new shards, or to upgrade a card already in use.
3. BRACKETS
This event uses a Ranked Round Robin. Each Player plays each player once. Players get 1 Point per win. The half of the players with the least number of points are eliminated. Then a new round begins.
4. DUELS
Players have 4 days to make the fight happen. They must contact their opponent using a PM, and try to find a time that suits both. If the fight doesn't happen, both players lose by default, unless one player is clearly more active in trying to find a suitable time. Event organizer will determine who the most active player was, and his or her word is final.
Duels are single matches.
You may only change your deck between rounds. You may only add a shard and upgrade a card.
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
Winner should post a new topic in the "Battle Results" section, along with short description of how the match went. Both the winner and the loser are required to post pictures of both their decks and their sideboards. After round 1, all remaining Players may add 1 Shard, upgraded or standard, and 1 additional upgraded card.
In general, you may have a number of upgraded cards, and a number of shards equal to the current Round Number. You may not change your deck, other than to add a shard, and upgrade a card you are already using.
6. WINNER
After the final Round, which will consist of two players, all points are tallied. If the winner of the last match has the most points as well, he wins, otherwise, he must fight the player with the most points and the winner of that match is the winner of the tournament.
7. REWARDS
The winner of the event will receive the following forum award icon at the discretion of the forum PvPOs.
