Elements PvP League - Rules

[Xenocidius]

I'd appreciate it if someone could help with two questions:
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!

1) You are correct.
2) Go into the chatroom and publicly ask if anyone would like to play. A simple "BL, anyone?" or "CL, anyone?" should suffice.

Thanks! That's two questions you've answered for me back to back....I appreciate it!

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)

Cool, thanks Jenkar!

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:

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.

[2012-04-09 05:03:07] Sevs: is seraph rare?
[2012-04-09 05:04:17] zanzarino: Not rare, but the new cards are not available yet

Slightly confused, how long do the leagues last?

[ralouf]

Supposed to last 3 months but this one got a little extension due to forum change

How often does the BL occur?
Every 4 months?

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.
