Weekly Tournament Idea https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=10845.msg133305#msg133305

One of the things I enjoy most about Elements are some of the unique weekly tournaments that peeps comes up with.  About a month or two there was a tourney with a limited card pool to choose from, and it  wasn't revealed until the tourney began and you had 15 minutes to construct a deck.  Totally loved it, reminded me of a seal deck tourney.

My idea is for the Tournament designers,  to use the "Bracketing number" (the number assigned to a player randomly by the bracket builder)  to add more unique tournament rules from time to time.

Simple example of just using odds/evens
 Bracket # = even  you must use Mark of  :death for the  entire tournament
 Bracket # = odd you must use Mark of  :life for the entire tournament


This was inspired by Elements first WAR.  Marks are listed from last to first.
Bracket # = 1,13,25,37,49,61 you must use Mark  :life of  for the entire tournament
Bracket # = 2,14,26,38,50,62 you must use Mark of  :water for the entire tournament
Bracket # = 3,15,27,39,51,63 you must use Mark of  :air for the entire tournament
Bracket # = 4,16,28,40,52,64 you must use Mark of  :aether for the entire tournament
Bracket # = 5,17,29,41,53 you must use Mark of :darkness  for the entire tournament
Bracket # = 6,18,30,42,54 you must use Mark of  :gravity  for the entire tournament
Bracket # = 7,19,31,43,55 you must use Mark of  :light for the entire tournament
Bracket # = 8,20,32,44,56 you must use Mark of  :time  for the entire tournament
Bracket # = 9,21,33,45,57 you must use Mark of  :death for the entire tournament
Bracket # = 10,22,34,46,58 you must use Mark of  :earth  for the entire tournament
Bracket # = 11,23,35,47,59 you must use Mark of  :entropy  for the entire tournament
Bracket # = 12,24,36,48,60 you must use Mark of :fire for the entire tournament

You could use the above list and add you must play a mono deck based on your mark.
Or instead of using all 12 Elements you can limit to just 3 or 4  elements.

Bracket # = 1,4,7,10,etc.. (A player can choose one of the following  :time :death :life for his mark and that players deck can only contain cards from those elements .)

There's a lot of options, I would say the only downfall is the Tournament Organizer would have  more to explain to  first timers.  Which can be a daunting task at times.

i think we could use this for another tournament, nice idea. rather interesting but alot of newbs would hate us for it... then again they dont even read the rules 90% of the times so we prolly cant do this.

Possibly an Upped Tourney would be nice.  Another question I have is, does the bracket software randomly apply the seed number?

To be honest, this is interesting, but it means everyone would need 12+ decks prepared or have extra time to prepare a deck.

Interesting idea but I think it would be way too complex.

"What is my mark?!"
"My opponent has a wrong mark!!"
"What is my bracket number?"
"What is a braket?"
etc.

Furthermore this belongs to "Tournament feedback" topic.
