Furthermore, a single Nymph of ANY element as well as a single Shard of ANOTHER element may be included.
2) Ultra rares (Marks, Nymphs), Relics & Shards are banned, as well as upgraded cards of any kind unless stated otherwise.
3) The event is single-elimination and games are best-of-3.

1. HOW TO SIGN UP?
Anyone with a forum and a chat account can sign up for this event. Start by reading the rules very carefully. Then sign up by posting on a separate sign up topic. If you cannot find a sign up topic, or if it is locked, this event is not currently active, and you will have to wait for it to restart.
You must also own at least 5 copies of your Shard (preferably upgraded ones, but unupgraded copies work too).

Minimum amount of participants for this event is exactly 32 participants, but it can also work with 16 or even 64 participants too. If the event is full, you can still sign up as a reserve player, and will get a chance to join the event if any of the players doesn't show up during round 1.

2. GETTING READY
- Your deck may be of any size (from 30 to 60 cards).
- You may use any non-upgraded cards in the game, except ultra-rares (Nymphs, Marks), relics & shards unless stated otherwise.
- You have to choose a Zodiac Sign in the beginning of the event, prefferably the Zodiac Sign you have in real-life, but otherwise you can choose any Sign you want. You have to keep your Zodiac Sign untill the end and you may NOT change it during the event.
- According to the Zodiac Sign you have chosen, you have a few deck building restrictions each round:

1st round: You must include at least 1 copy of your Zodiac Shard (upped or unupped) and your deck's Mark must be of your Zodiac Element.

2nd round: You must include at least 2 copies of your Zodiac Shard (upped or unupped) and you must use exactly 6 cards (upped or unupped) of your Zodiac Element.

3rd round: You must include at least 3 copies of your Zodiac Shard (upped or unupped) and your deck may have up to 3 Nymphs (upped or unupped) of your Zodiac's Element.

4th round: You must include at least 4 copies of your Zodiac Shard (upped or unupped) and at least 60% of your deck must include cards of your Zodiac's Element.

5th round (& every round thereafter): You must include at least 5 copies of your Zodiac's Shard (upped or unupped), at least 30% of your cards must NOT be of your Zodiac's Element but your deck's Mark must be of your Zodiac's Element. Furthermore, a single Nymph of ANY element as well as a single Shard of ANOTHER element may be included.

3. BRACKETS
This event is a single-elimination tournament and uses only one kind of brackets. When you lose, you're out the event.

4. DUELS
Games are best-of-3 (the first one to win 2 games will pass to the next round).
Players have 7 days to make the fight happen. They must contact their opponent using a PM, and try to find a time that suits both. If the fight doesn't happen, both players lose by default, unless one player is clearly more active in trying to find a suitable time. Event organizer will determine who the most active player was, and his or her word is final.

You are allowed to change your deck (and mark) between matches, but you can't break any special rules of this round, like using a certain Mark or card.

It's a good idea to either record the matches, or take screenshots as proof, in case something weird, like a desync error, happens. Remember, a player who gets caught cheating, will be permanently banned from all Elements community PvP events, so please play fair.

5. AFTER DUELS
Winner should post a new topic in the "Battle Results" section, along with short description of how the match went. Both the winner and the loser are required to post pictures of both their decks as well as their Zodiac and their deck restrictions this round.

6. WINNER
The only player who remains in the end (winner of the final match) is going to be the winner of the event and master of the zodiac circle.

7. REWARDS
The winner of the event will receive an award icon representing his/her chosen zodiac isgn:
