Special Rules

• Before the start, each player picks a starting element and a direction: clockwise or counter-clockwise
• Decks can be built using upto 2 elements, your current element and the one opposite to it on the Oracle wheel, i.e. you can use mono deck of either of those two elements or a duo of those two.
• "Other" cards (quantum pillar etc) are also allowed in any deck
• Your mark has to match one of your two current elements
• After each individual game (even within a match) your current element (pair) is switched to the next (pair) from the Oracle wheel according to the direction you picked at start (clockwise or counter-clockwise).
• Your clock direction remains the same for the entire tournament and it is public along with your current element.
• The chosen starting element and direction of each player will be displayed on the bracket.
• When the winner posts the result of the match, they should also post their current element for the next game.
• Upgraded cards are not allowed.
• Discord and Earthquake cards are banned

Tournament Organizer Note If you think there is an overpowered card that ought to be banned, or you have some concerns about the tournament metagame, mechanics or other stuff, do NOT post it publicly in the comments or anywhere else on the Forums. Instead, send a private message to Tournament Organizers, who will privately discuss about it. Thanks for your cooperation.

TOURNAMENTS Q&A

Q: Does the clock reset to the originally chosen element between matches?
A: No, the clock keeps ticking along the chosen direction 'till the end of the tournament.

Spoiler for Example:

• Suppose, Player 'A' picked  and Counteer-Clockwise direction.
• First game against player 'B', he plays    duo, wins, 1-0
• Next game 'A' loses using mono  , 1-1
• The final game of 'A' vs 'B' in Round 1, 'A' wins using mono  , 2-1
• Player 'A' posts the result: Player 'A' 2 - 1 Player 'B', next game elements: 
• Second round Player 'A' wins 2-0 against Player 'C', using  duo followed by mono   
• Player 'A' posts the result: Player 'A' 2 - 0 Player 'C', next game elements:    
• Player 'A' loses 0-2 against player 'D' in round 3, using mono  followed by mono

As agreed last time, we hold a special schedule this week. We hope everyone can join who couldn't before. For this, please vote for the time that suits you better. The poll will be open for 2 days, so make your decision quickly.

Until the poll is going, you can also send us change suggestions if you think the rules are imbalanced.

[Wyand]

Can we have it like GMT 22:00? GMT 0:00 is horrid for Europeans. I believe GMT 22:00 is good for Americans, too.
(While GMT 8:00 seems very bad for them.)

And pls make some balancing. [edited, sent ideas in PM!]

[Wyand]

No balancing, then?

[Zso_Zso]

Added 2 card bans as balancing.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Sorry, couldn't do it earlier, just got back from a trip.

[Zso_Zso]

The tournament is in half an hour, please show up in chat room.
Also note, that there is a change in rules compared to the previous version of this rule-set, now we have 2 cards banned: discord and earthquake.
