Team PvPThis is something I would like to try on a small scale first so I get feedback from those that participate to improve it for a larger scale event. Here's how it works:
Team CreationThere will be
6 teams of 4 people. There are no restrictions on team building, although you must do it all on your own. Once you have a team of four people, one member will post in this thread the names of the people on the team.
Team ElementsMake a list of the elements you would like to be assigned to your team in descending order (so your first choice is on top). When all the teams have done this, they will be assigned their team element. If, for instance, more than one team chose life first, I will use a random number generator to see who gets that element for their team. I will then move to your team's next choice, and so on until your team has an element. This way, no teams have the same element.
Player ElementsOnce every team has an assigned element, a member from each team will make another post with an element for each player on their team. You may choose any element other than your team's element, and no two people on a team can share the same player element.
Match AssignmentsOnce the above steps are complete, matches will begin. At the start of a round, a random person from each team will play. Opponents will be someone else that was randomly chosen to play. No person from a team may play again until all other team members have played. Once every person on a team has played, this will reset (so if you played last on your team, you can play next). Each match will be assigned a random element. This element will be different from the elements the two players in that match already have (their personal element and their team element).
Deck CreationOnly unupped cards may be used. The cards you can take in your deck must be of either your team's element, your own personal element, or the element assigned to your match. No more than 2/3 of your deck can be composed of one element. Decks may not be changed during matches. Marks may be changed though, just in case you accidentally forgot to change your mark.
MatchesMatches are
best of three. The loser is eliminated from their team and the event. Players will have three days to complete these matches. Any matches that don't occur will be losses for both teams, unless one person was clearly more active in trying to play the match. Once matches are completed, the next match assignments will be made, and we will continue until there is one team left.
ResultsWhen you complete a match,
make a post in this thread with the match result. Include your deck code and a description of the match. The loser may also post with their deck code, but be sure that it is easy to tell that you lost, so that there is no confusion.

I scrapped team names to make things simpler.
Possible rule changes (need player opinions):
1. Make the the number of players from each team that play in a round equal to the team(s) with the fewest players left (greater than zero, of course). Players would still not be able to play again until all other players on their team still "alive" have played an equal amount.
2. Allow deck changing during the match.

smiley56Round 4Current Match: RavingRabbid vs. Killsdazombies. Match element: fire. Advantage RavingRabbid.
*Advantage meaning if he wins the match then he and his team win the tournament.
Round Four will be a "king of the hill" round. The first player to win two matches in a row wins. If you win a match, you play the person you didn't just win against. Here is the order:
Killsdazombies
RavingRabbid
Bojengles77
So, the first match will be between Killsdazombies and RavRavRav. The winner then plays Bojengles77.
Since we have no way of knowing how long this will take, there is no timer. Try to do this as quickly as possible though. Also, I'm going to post a list of match elements:
1. light
2. entropy
3. death
4. fire
5. gravity
6. earth
7. air
The first match has a match element of light. The next one entropy, and we continue down the list. If we go all the way through a seventh match and we still don't have a winner, restart at first match element.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Round 2IMPORTANT!!! Because there are five teams, one team would get a bye this round if we only went with one person from each team. If I made it two from each team, except for team aether, we could only have four matches (I'm pretty sure) meaning two people would get to sit out while everyone else played. I think that's kind of unfair, so I'm making everyone play this round. Hopefully there aren't any objections.
