Three-Man Team PvP #5 - RULES

[majofa]

Team PvP
Original idea by: Demagog   |   Developed by: Demagog & majofa  |   Organized by: majofa

Battle it out with other teams using only 3 elements.

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.

Each player on a team must select from a different elemental tier:
Tier 1:
Tier 2:
Tier 3:

Each team then selects an element from any of the remaining 9 elements.

One member from the team will post in the sign up thread the Team Name, Players, and Elements of the team.

There is no maximum amount of teams in this event.

2. GETTING READY
The tournament format will be Double-elimination, Swiss style.

3. DECKBUILDING
Players build decks that can consist only of cards from their team, personal, and battle elements.  Battle elements are randomly determined before each matchup is posted.  Battle elements cannot be either players personal element or team element and will always be something else.


- No upgraded cards allowed
- No 'Other' cards
- Shards are banned
- Mark Cards are allowed and count as the element they provide quanta for
- You may change decks between games
- You may use marks that don't match your 3 elements


The size of each deck is not limited, however a maximum of 2/3 of your deck can be from any single element.  This means all decks must be a duo or trio.  The spoiler below contains a table of the maximum amount of cards your deck can contain from any single element based on deck size.

Spoiler for 2/3 rule:

Deck Size	Maximum Cards From Any Element
30	20
31	21
32-33	22
34	23
35-36	24
37	25
38-39	26
40	27
41-42	28
43	29
44-45	30
46	31
47-48	32
49	33
50-51	34
52	35
53-54	36
55	37
56-57	38
58	39
59-60	40

4. MATCHES
Matches are best-of-5.

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.

SUBSTITUTIONS
You may sub for a teammate only if given approval by the event organizer, and you can't sub for the same player 2 rounds in a row.

5. AFTER DUELS
All players must submit their results and decks in the 'Battle Results' thread.

6. WINNER
The last team standing is declared the winner.

loltiers.

[Jenkar]

Do the deck marks have to be from one of the three elements?

[Rutarete]

Heh, ghostmare tier...

Also, slight error - people them choose from any of the remaining 8 elements, not 9
Oopsy

[Jenkar]

12-3=9.

[Fippe94]

Can we change our deck after each match, or do we have to use the same deck during the 5 matches? (5 matches = 1 "best-of-5" session)

[09:50] <Rutarete> and no
[09:50] <Rutarete> one player per one element per one tier
[09:50] <!Drake_XIV> No
[09:50] <!Drake_XIV> You call a Tier
[09:50] <!Drake_XIV> My preferences mean I'll take Tier 1
[09:50] <@Absol> oh
[09:50] <@Absol> no, you call an element from each tier
[09:50] <Rutarete> Let me check what I did last time this even was around
[09:51] <Rutarete> no, "Each player on a team must select from a different elemental tier:"
[09:51] <Rutarete> keywords "each" and "different"
[09:52] <@Absol> if i understand correctly, you pick an element from Tier 1, then 2, then 3, with 3 elements total from different tiers
[09:53] <@Absol> then, you pick a global element, the "team" element

Confirm please.

[deuce22]

so, is there going to be a limit on teams? I think one of the biggest complaints last TPVP was that teams who received a bye did significantly better than teams without a bye.

[majofa]

It's not tournament style.

[plastiqe]

Team and player element submission should have been done by pm, it's an advantage to just wait till the end so you can see what everyone else has picked. 

What happens if a team hasn't posted their choice before the deadline is up?
