PM your ban list to all Trials Overseers you are not competing against. Banned cards will be made public when the countdown timer below ends.  Contestants will then have nine days to build their decks and fight.

Participants of the Trials of Aether should only send their ban list to Physsion and Afdarenty (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pm/?sa=send;u=3784,5357). Participants of the Trials of Air should only send their ban list to Physsion and Zawadx (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pm/?sa=send;u=5357,7603). Participants of the Trials of Darkness should only send their ban list to Zawadx and Afdarenty (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pm/?sa=send;u=3784,7603).

A few more things:
1) To have no bans, you must send a PM saying that you are banning no cards. If you don't send in this PM, then your spot in the final battle is liable to be given to someone else (Example: Player 1 fights Player 2 in the final battle. Player 2 does not want to have bans but does not send in a PM. Player 3 will gain the opportunity to compete against Player 1 in the final battle). If there is no one to take a place, then it will be counted as not banning anything (Example: theelkspeaks and Blacksmith). If a replacement takes place, they will be given 48 hours from the end of the ban timer to send their bans and 48 hours past the duel timer to play their match.

2) If you wish to share your ban list with your opponent before the end of the banning phase then you need to note in your ban list PM that you wish to do so (flag for "early release"). If both players in an Element flag their bans for "early release", as soon as the second ban list is received, both lists are final and may not be updated or altered.  Illegal bans will be processed per the rules above, as though the list were received and not updated before the deadline.  The order of the list will determine which are accepted and which are invalidated according to the rules for bans.  Please check your lists very carefully or ask a TrO to review them for legality before submitting them if you are unsure.

3) Bans that are not flagged "early release" are not final until the ban deadline timer ends.  Up til this deadline, any new list received will overwrite the existing list.  Any updates to an existing list must be sent in the form of a new complete list.  (e.g. "I want to ban dimensional shield instead of discord" will not be processed). 

4) Until your list is finalized (within reason, as a TrO may not be available at the last time you are available before the deadline) you may check with a TrO if your current banlist is legal, and all your bans are valid.  You may then submit a new list up until the point at which your ban list is finalized (you and your opponent submit lists flagged for "early release" or the ban timer ends, whichever occurs first).  If you intend to flag your bans for "early release" we recommend submitting them without this flag first, requesting a legality check, and then after resolving the legality submitting your final list with the "early release" flag.

Final Battle Deckbuilding Rules



Final Battle Match Rules

Players should contact their opponents using PMs and find a duel time that is suitable for both players. Keep in mind that best-of-nine might take a long time, so you might need up to two hours to finish all the matches.  Players are highly encouraged to post a countdown timer for their duel in the Trials Final Battle Countdown thread at least 24 hours before it happens so that community members will have a chance to observe the battle.

Recording matches:
 
  • Download screen recording software.  Camstudio (http://camstudio.org/) is the suggested choice.
  • Follow the directions to record your screen while you play your matches.
  • Upload the video to youtube.  Follow the instructions there.
  • Share the link with us. :)

Since Camstudio is Windows only have some instructions for other OSes

Instructions for Mac

The easiest way is to use QuickTime, as there's 99% chance that it came bundled with the OS

Instructions for Linux

The most "straight forward" way of doing it is to use FFMPEG to redirect the X11 stream. You do that from the terminal with the command

Code: [Select]
ffmpeg -video_size (desired width x height for the output) -framerate (desired framerate) -f x11grab -i (coordinates of the top left corner in the format :0.0+x,y) output.mp4
for example

Code: [Select]
ffmpeg -video_size 1024x768 -framerate 25 -f x11grab -i :0.0+100,200 output.mp4
or

Code: [Select]
ffmpeg -video_size 1024x768 -framerate 25 -f x11grab -i :0.0 output.mp4
using your screen size as output size to record the whole screen


There is a way to combine this with ALSA to get the sound but it depends on what you have.

Instructions for Mac

The easiest way is to use QuickTime, as there's 99% chance that it came bundled with the OS
  • Choose File > New Screen Recording
  • Fiddle with any options you want
  • To start, hit record and then either click anywhere in the screen (to record everything) or drag a rectangle on the area you want to record
  • Hit the stop button on the menu bar to finish recording
Thank you. I didn't know about quicktime and it's super easy to use!  ;)
