[user]Jenkar[/user]: 1Simply put the [user] and [/user] tags around each player's FORUM username, and it will link to their forum profile.| (http://adamusicboosters.org/_uploaded/images/gold-trophy-cup.jpg) | League Prizes The top-7 players of league will receive prizes.Independantly a 'Contribution Prize' will be rewarded. Between the 3 people that played the most matches one will be chosen at random to obtain a Markcode. This will be decided by a 1d3 dice in chat, where 1 stands for the player with the most matches (2 2nd most, 3 3rd most). League Organizers will give reward codes to winners who can then redeem the codes in-game. There is a minimum of 8 matches to get a prize. 8 matches will make you eligible for the 7th place prize, each additional match you play unlocks a higher prize tier, 14 qualifying you for all of them (except Contribution Prize if 3 players played more matches than you). If you are in top 7 but have not played the required number of matches, your trophy & codes will go to next person under you (i.e. if 4th hasn't done 8 matches, 5th gets 4th's codes, 6th 5th's, 7th 6th's, etc., if 4th has done 10 matches he/she will receive 5th place prize and 5th place will receive 4th's rewards). At the end of the season, League organizers have the right to change minimum matches required, if participation is low. In the event of a tie, the winner will be whoever won more games between the people who tied. If there is still a tie, the people who tied will play a best-of-three for the higher prize. There may also be a raffle at the end, where people who get picked will get secret prizes! More matches = more raffles = better chance of a prize!

a) how long will a season be? 3 month again? (or was it even longer?) (*edit*kk, just saw it is 2 month at the league page)a) yep, lowered to 2 months. 3 took way too long.
b) thank you for the 1/day rule and the top4-change
c) do we (previous top3 of both leagues) also get a price in form of a code/codes?
*edit*
d) nice forum icons, how you decided if terroking or kevkev60614 are third, they are ex aequo on the 2nd
thank you for the quick reply, now im satisfied, also like the "direct duell" decisionIt's quite unlikely that this would happen, and if it does, we'll think about something. Maybe we could have one extra match to determine winner.
may i ask on last question? if it is 5-5 with same points, like you said direct duell matters, then the one with more single game is in front? and if it is even again, then the one with the better score against the highest ranked player?
tournament organizers, right? so we even dont know, what the prices are?c) do we (previous top3 of both leagues) also get a price in form of a code/codes?c) most likely, yes. But it's not my call.
*edit*

Rule change: You can fight one other player only up to 6 times during one season (2 months).Is this an adjustment based on the change in league time from 3 to 2 months?
Any additional matches between these two players will not count in the final score and shouldn't be reported in the League thread.

sorry to be pushy but when do they send out the prizes from the league i sorta need my 3k to pay the mob *scared*Prize codes will go out when i receive them from Zanz (SG) and the top 3 players in each league receive trophies.
also im almost surei get no trophy but can someone confirm this?
when wil the next league start???Hopefully early next week.
I just want to say I don't think the whole 6 match limit worked out very well, since halfway through the number of matches REALLY dropped off, since people that signed up weren't active. I mean really, unless it was limited to 1 match per person, you wouldn't be able to keep it so less active people can compete. Should the 10-12 or so active players be punished because some people that sign up don't desire to be active?Keep in mind there are other factors leading to inactivity. First of all, mid-league, summer hit. This is going to cause people to change their schedules and some people will be on less and others will be on more. Some will simply be gone for weeks at a time. Second, halfway through the league some people saw they had no chance of winning when they were 30 wins behind the leader. There weren't very many instances where players hit their 6-match limit, and that wasn't the only factor leading to inactivity. +2/-1 scoring should help better players show their skill more accurately in the standings and hopefully that will induce more activity in generally less active players.
In fact, in the last league, it was really a contest of who could be luckiest to convince some of the less active players to play a game, since otherwise we all played 6 matches with each other so there wasn't an advantage there if we went 50/50. Instead of being a contest of who can win most, it became a contest of whether or not you could be online when a new or inactive player was.
If the new scoring is changed to +2/-1, I suggest we also raise the number of allowed matches up to 10 again.
I was at 5 matches with a number of people, but was saving my last match for the end in case I needed it. I didn't, so I just didn't use those matches.I just want to say I don't think the whole 6 match limit worked out very well, since halfway through the number of matches REALLY dropped off, since people that signed up weren't active.

You're right that the limit wasn't reached too much, but it was always a factor to consider when you wondered if you wanted to play a match with someone. Just because the limit wasn't reached doesn't mean it didn't effect match selection.
Among the top 6 where there WAS competition though, it wasn't a matter of skill, it was a matter of whoever was on when someone (let's say, um... Gl1tch ;) ) was available. All the active people began competing for people to get "easy wins" against, which will become even MORE prevalent with +2/-1 scoring.
To offset that, I want the active players to have more opportunities to play each other too, so it isn't just a matter of finding the "easier" people that you can win against since players that aren't active enough to play these people consistently, yet are still formidable, can play more against the active players.
So if someone with 19,999 score joins the beginner league, and on the last day switches to the other league, which reward would he get?When you switch Leagues, your points don't of course follow you. In your example the person would have zero points and would get nothing.
Anyone with +20k pts has the choice to either join BL or CL. I almost thought that you meant join both leagues at the same time.Yeah, i meant at the same time. SG already said "One player, one league..."
Well, just to make it clear, 1 person can only join BL OR CL at the same time.You should write it in first page then... ;)
What if you crash into someone in your lleauge in pvp1 or pvp2 would you be able to play again and count that as a BL or CL matchThat will not be counted as a League match.
Alright folks. I've seen still more username errors, so I'm going to put some more rules into effect.For clarification, both and are acceptable.Example:
- Everyone in BL will put their forum name (exactly as it appears) in their chat profile, like so: "Forum name: Memorystick"
- Everyone in BL will use the user tags ((username)) when posting match results
- Everyone in BL will type the winner in one line and loser below that

If your score changes during the season, you do not have to switch over to a different league (although you can if you want).The above quote is from the rules in the first page.
No. Once you play a game in one of the leagues you are there for the remainder of the season and subject to all the rules that apply.QuoteYou can only participate in one league at a time.

Just to clarify, can I join CL, play few games and then decided to join BL? or vice versa - i.e. join BL, play few games and then decided to join CL.
What if our forum name and in-game-name are different?Yes he can, but A needs to wait 24 hours to play B again.
Also, let me give an example of something I don't understand:
A
B
C
Yes, there are 3 players. A, B, C.
A plays against B.
When the match has finished, can A then fight C straight away?
What if our forum name and in-game-name are different?Report results using the FORUM name.
NEW RULES:This should go in the Opening Post. I dunno why just posting in the thread is considered a *rule*. Rules are in the first post, I won't read all pages to find new rules.
1.
Each player who joins a league, must complete at least 30 matches during the period of 2 months when the League is active. Failure to do so, will result in
A) a disqualification
B) a ban from the next League
This rule was made to encourage League activity, and to make sure that no player wins the League with only 10 matches fought.
2.
Players can fight one opponent only once during each 24-hour period. This means that if Players A and B fight right now, they have to wait for at least 24 hours before they can fight again.
3.
Players are allowed to join a League during the first month only. As soon as the second month starts, players cannot join the League, and have to wait for the next one.
This should go in the Opening Post. I dunno why just posting in the thread is considered a *rule*. Rules are in the first post, I won't read all pages to find new rules.They are already in the first post of this thread, and also the first post of the results reporting threads.
the beginners league should have a little more cards!!Winning electrum means you can buy more cards, and prizes are only for the top 6 not the top 9.
most of the players are newbs like me and if we win a few cards also(3rd or 4th) it may be an added incentive to play more and play better!!
plus i say in the BL not all players are rich and not all have access to all the unupgraded cards , so the ones ranked between 4th and 9th should only get cards and not the electrum!!
So we just battle someone and then post the winnings anywhere, or do you have to say your signing up before your fight(s). Is so then where do you sign up?Once both players read the rules and agree to them all they must do is play a best-of-3 match with the winner posting the results in the appropriate leagues thread. There is no additional sign-ups required.
But I thought you have to wait 24 hours between each match.

Wondering if there is a specific place on the forum to post when looking for opponents to duel with in either League?The Chat (http://elementscommunity.org/chat/) will be the most helpful, as there are usually 15+ players on, some of them might play the Leagues.
Im confused!!!! How do i post a match after its done so i can get in the tournyIf you win, you following the posting guidelines in the rules and you simply post the result in the appropriate thread for either the Beginner's League or the Champions League. If you lose you do not need to post.
if my score si more than 20k can i still join the beginners league?Yes. There are no limitations to who can join Beginners League.
Hi,Standard post-desync procedure if the game has progressed far enough is for both players to play against the AI. If there is a definite winner (i.e. player A wins against the AI playing player B's deck, and player B loses against the AI playing player A's deck), then the game is settled. If there is no definite winner (i.e. both players win against the AI, or both players lose against the AI), then replay with the same decks.
So I was playing TStar in BL and I was using a earth/gravity combo with both a pulvy and gravity shield out. TStar was using mono air and the only monsters he played were the 9/6 dragons and he played 1 ocean eye.... We desycned and at the time of desync I had 57 hp and he was lower. He was doing 0 damage a turn, I would have had a 23 hp oty in 3 turns, he had 10 cards left, and I would have decked him out or killed him with my pulvy. However he claims he would have somehow won after desync because he'd have shockwaved some dragons and someone killed me. However he had no quanta because i had been pulvying his pillars and he wouldn't have been able to make a 1 hit kill with what he had under the best circumstances...... Had basbloods and armors to make the guys not under 5 hp again etc.
Anyway after a lot of arguing he ignored me and won't rematch. What does that mean? does that count as a win/loss or what. I beat the ai without taking damage....
Blarp
Does it matter wheter I play PvP Duel or PvP 2?It has to be a specific person from the forums, so it must be done using PvP Duel.
Can beginner's use upped shards?Beginner's league aren't allowed to use any upped cards.
Just wondering : when will wd get the code for the second season ?As soon as the LOs receive them they will be sent out.
I was not sure all the time, if I get my code from the second season. I thought I didn't get it. I didn't want to ask, because I thought it is a stupid question. Just when some ppl said that in chat few weeks ago, they waiting for them, I noticed I was right. ;DYes, codes for Season 2/2011 and Season 3/2011 still have not arrived. They will be distributed as soon as they do.
Sorry if I didn't find it. If I have more than 20k score and wanna participate in BL, can I make a new game account (with a different name) and ask the players to challenge that game acc?Anyone can join the Beginners League.
Oh thanks. And when I post the results, how do I notify it's BL and not CL?Sorry if I didn't find it. If I have more than 20k score and wanna participate in BL, can I make a new game account (with a different name) and ask the players to challenge that game acc?Anyone can join the Beginners League.
Even if you have more than 20k score, you can still be in BL.
Rules updates for Season 1/2012:Boooooo
- All unupped Shards are allowed in Beginners League
Have you thought of adding the 30-post rule to BL too?I second this. Whatever it takes to remove certain types of people from the league is good.

Really? There were people with multiple forum accounts just to post in the league? O_ONo.Have you thought of adding the 30-post rule to BL too?I second this. Whatever it takes to remove certain types of people from the league is good.
The main reason is that bl's existence has two reasons (imo) :
A) test unupped metagame.
B) be a starting stone for new players to improve and become members of community, both from acquiring pvp skills and chatting with opponents
I haven't been aware of major amounts of cheating in bls (i can only think of last seasons' multiple accounts), so the grounds for the 30 post rules applied to tournaments vanish.

I'd appreciate it if someone could help with two questions:1) You are correct.
1) Am I correct that there is no minimum number of forum posts requirements for league play as there is for tournament play?
2) What is the best way to start a game against someone else in the league? Do you ask in the forum chat and then PvP duel?
Thanks for the guidance!

2) Go into the chatroom and publicly ask if anyone would like to play. A simple "BL, anyone?" or "CL, anyone?" should suffice.
For the Elo rating system, are total number of games added to one's rating at the end of the league? Or is that already taken into account in the rating formula? Or does the number of games have no bearing whatsoever?Last one. (mind you, it indirectly matters (winning 50 games is better than winning only one in all cases)

As v1.30 has arrived, there will be a ban on the following cards for the remaining duration of Season 1/2012 of Leagues, so as not to create an unfair disadvantage for players who do not yet own these cards:I assume that also applies to Seraph?
Shard of Wisdom
Shard of Freedom
Shard of Integrity
Shard of Bravery
Shard of Focus
I assume that also applies to Seraph?Zanz has already stated that Seraph is common, so it's going to be available to all players immediately after it hits the Bazaar. Therefore, not banned.
How often does the BL occur?BL goes for about 3 months at a time, and there's about a 2 week 'rest'-ish period at the end of a BL before the next one starts.
Every 4 months?
Ah okay. Thanks :DHow often does the BL occur?BL goes for about 3 months at a time, and there's about a 2 week 'rest'-ish period at the end of a BL before the next one starts.

where i have to sign up? and it has started? or when is starts?Please read the rules more carefully; everything you need to know is in the first post, or the links in there.
Why did the Championship League prizes get nerfed and are now identical to Beginner League's prizes?
Please lower the amount of time back down to 2 months! 3 months is a long time when there're only 8 people playing in CLI assure you that in a month, you'll be regretting that you ever said such a thing.
When can I expect to get my reward codes from the last two BL seasons I won?According to the archive, the codes were sent to you. Just to be sure, i sent them again.
i have a few questions about the league?In this board, there are two topics, one titled ''Beginner's League'', The other ''Championship League''. You post in the relevant one.
a) where do u post the matches?
b) who do u play to gain points?
Meh. Why are shards allowed in basic league play but not upgraded cards.CL allows upgraded cards. That and a 20k score requirement are its only differences from BL. If you want to play with upgrades, the idea is that you play in CL.
there are rare shard cards that are auto "you win the game" and cheap to play. 20x better than any upgraded card and rarer.
Yet these are allowed but upgraded cards are not. Going to make for some unbalanced games.
Woo Shard GolemsAnd SoW. And UG. And Psions. And bolt decks :D
Wouldn't it be easier to ban shard of sacrifice so that there is no reason to purify the opponent?No, because the bug also occurs when you have a spell-reflecting shield up and try to purify yourself (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,43445.msg541901.html#msg541901). You'll see Purify hit yourself, your opponent will see Purify hitting them.
I have a question, if a player doesn't complete 30 matches until the end of the month, they will drop to last place, right?
For example, a player is on place 10, the players with the ranks 6, 7, 8 and 9 didn't complete the 30 matches, the the 10th player will go to 6th place?
If this shouldn't be posted here, I'm sorry, answer please.
Oh, now I get it, it doesn't really matter about the others, since they get no prize (with rank>6)I have a question, if a player doesn't complete 30 matches until the end of the month, they will drop to last place, right?

Correct, but that rule only applies to the 6 first,
What is decided for the outcome of the game if my opponent wins?
And what if my AI wins?
I'm also considering whether the match quitting so early might be a factor in deciding...
I also would like to know when BL will be updated, the CL has been updated 2 times, and left the BL out, if the CL also uses google docs, then can now BL also be updating.
I can't play through the game. It forced me to lose immediately.

Personally, I'd replay that match because it's so early most likely (but you'd both have to agree on that), however, it is normal to play through the game and then if you and your opponent reach the same result (with screenies) award that player a win. If you and your opponent reach different results (with screenies) then you'd replay the match and ignore this result. (using the same decks)

Yeah, we're replaying it. I do not have a screenshot of a win against the AI, so I have no grounds for claiming a win. Kim has no grounds for claiming a win because he disconnected from the server and could not play the match out to win.
I think that there is no restriction on maximum matches played.I also would like to know when BL will be updated, the CL has been updated 2 times, and left the BL out, if the CL also uses google docs, then can now BL also be updating.
Blame Daniella for playing so many games :D
As long as you don't play any one person more than 10 times, there's no upper limit to the total number of games. So, in theory, the maximum number of games is the number of players in your league minus yourself, and then multiplied by 10.REALLY?Thanks for illuminating me!
I think Blarp made a joke, players who play many matches are always welcome.As long as you don't play any one person more than 10 times, there's no upper limit to the total number of games.

I think Blarp made a joke, players who play many matches are always welcome.As long as you don't play any one person more than 10 times, there's no upper limit to the total number of games. So, in theory, the maximum number of games is the number of players in your league minus yourself, and then multiplied by 10.REALLY?Thanks for illuminating me!

The delay in updating the BL, is fault of LO

These will need to be updated for the new ruleset of joining both leagues at once
Also, for clarification, 'shards are banned by default' does that mean we can unban them if we wish?
I need some clarification about desynch. vs disconnects.I am no League Organizer, but I guess a non-LO-answer is better than no answer.
From what I understood, desynch. errors cause strange things to happen and it's therefore no use to finish vs AI. I don't think I never experienced this. Disconnects are frequent and I think many people (and the league rules) call them "desynchs".
Tournements rules make the distinction but not here.
Do we get the same in-game error message in a desynch and a disconnect?
Please advise. Thanks.
"In case of a desynchronization error, both players shall play the AI, unless both agree not to."And yes, league rules are false when they use desynch to describe a disconnect. You will never play when a desynch happens, for obvious reasons.
Question. If one of the top 3 in BL happens to do better than that in CL, will the person who finishes 4th in BL win the 3rd place trophy?CL takes precedence. It's in this post http://elementscommunity.org/forum/league-archive/upcoming-league-patch-notes/

With that said, I think the extra notes should be edited in to this main rule page. It's confusing, numbers don't coincide, and I found out just now that I still have to complete 10 CL matches despite playing 30 on BL to avoid a ban. Not that I don't plan to complete that, but still, I think these should be clarified.
If a player has joined one league but not the other, they may still join the other within the final month.
This ruling was made by joint decision of the LOs based on a consistent interpretation of the original intentions of the final month rule.
Why are there 2 rules, one saying "No cards are banned by default" and another saying "Shards are automatically banned"?
Note that this is on the BL thread itself, not in this thread.
Added disconnects to rules. It is the one where both players take winscreenshots like you are probably used to.
Now a question is, for desync the rules for tournaments and league do not match. Here you are supposed to continue same as with disconnect even if the boardstate goes completely haywire (Like creatures spawning out of nowhere, stuff geting protected with no earthquanta in the deck etc). With league time constraints for rulings arent as important, so its possible to evaluate turn by turn screenshots after desync, making it possible to make a case by case analysis for desynced games. That however is definitely more complicated for everyone than the typical alternatives of winscreen (current rule for leagues) or replay (for tournaments).
What do you guys think?
