Trials Phase 3 has started:
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,11482.0.htmlIf you are not on the list, that means you got mathematically eliminated (you won't get into finals even if you win) and Trials are over for you. Thanks for participating and better luck next time.
Rules for this phase are a bit weird because there were some fundamental flaws in the original rules. Problem was that I assumed everyone would finish phase 1 because it was basically 10 points for free if you spent a couple of hours doing something productive. However a lot of people didn't finish it, which led big differences in score, which led to mathematical elimination and phase 3 being a bit lackluster.
Good news is that through trial and error I now know the "perfect" rules for Trials so we won't be having these problems next time.
