Phase 1 (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,29093.0.html) has started!


Task III was tweaked: any thread with a reply in the last THREE months is now eligible.


If you'd like immediate feedback from me on your Task I screenshots, please host them on imageplay  (http://www.imageplay.net/) rather than imgur, imageshack, or anywhere else.  If you host somewhere else you'll still receive full credit.  It will just take a tiny bit longer because I'm not able to view those sites at work.  :P

I've been asked to reiterate that it's very important to label your shard submissions as 'TRIAL' to make the separation easier for our poor overworked Competition Organizers.

24 hours left in Phase 1!

I've been updating standings frequently throughout the phase and trying to let players know of their shortcomings.  But I must stress again that I will be locking the threads at the deadline and if your submission is not complete according to the rules, you will not receive credit for the task.  It is each player's responsibility to double-check submissions and re-read the Phase 1 rules (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,29093.0.html).  Did you comment on in-element shards?  Did you add a deck image to each Deck Help post?  Are the decks you selected 25% or more in-element?  Have someone verify your math if you need to.

When in doubt check out the standings thread.  If you don't understand something, PM me as soon as possible.  If I'm unavailable feel free to ask chat for help.

Rule change to the Challenger Battles in Phase 2:

Ties will be broken first by head-to-head.  A sudden-death match will only occur if there's a three- or four-way tie.

Congratulations to the following Trials participants and recipients of three bonus points for the outstanding fashion in which Phase 1 was completed:

:aether - pikachufan2164
:darkness - TheOnlyRealBeef
:death - thenewguy
:earth - Zblader
:entropy - TStar
:fire - TheForbiddenOracle
:gravity - nilsieboy
:life - willng3
:light - RootRanger
:time - 10 men
:water - tikotribe

SG warned me that the bonus point process would be difficult, time consuming, and grueling, and I had no idea how right she was.  There were ZERO instances where I was able to easily rule out a player due to a subpar submission.  Submissions from every player in every element were (imo surprisingly) close to the quality of the players named above.  Congratulations to all who completed Phase 1 and best of luck to everyone in the remaining phases.


On an unrelated note, several players have quit and then rejoined the Trials.  I’ve allowed it up to this point because it hasn’t disturbed the event at all, but there will be a strict no givsies backsies policy henceforth.  Anyone who quits will be removed from Trials and parasites will be issued immediately.

Rules Clarifications

Phase 2 forfeits:  A number of players have asked “what happens if playerX and playerY don’t finish their match?”  This problem will be addressed on a case-by-case basis.  If a player didn’t fight any matches he’ll likely forfeit them all.  If a player fought some but not all matches I’ll look into which player put in more effort to get the match done.  Help me out by forwarding me scheduling PMs you sent but didn’t receive a reply or whatever, and generally fill me in as to what happened.

Tie after Phase 3: If total points are tied after Phase 3 (and I don’t believe this has ever happened), Phase 2 points will serve as the tiebreaker.

Sudden death:  In the Time Trials, 10 men, Kuro, and Sno all tied 2-1 and PlayerOa ended 0-3.  Sudden death is the same process as the matches that were already played except PlayerOa is excluded and matches are best-of-one.  If they each go 1-1, they start it all over again.  If they keep tying and they get tired of the merry-go-round I will flip a coin.  I'd really prefer the next Master of Time not to be decided by my 3-sided coin.

Important: If 10 men is the one to win the tiebreaker, 2nd place is determined by the head-to-head matchup that has already taken place.  SnoWeb beat Kuro before the tiebreaker was necessary, so he'd get 2nd place and Kuro would get 3rd even if Kuro beat Sno 50 times while trying to break the tie.

The three players don't really need to get together all at once, although that'd certainly make it easier if they need to break the tie more than once.  But there's no reason not to start as soon as two players come online.
