Balance is a feeling derived from being whole and complete; it's a sense of harmony.

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: Do we have to use different duos for each game in a match?
A: Yes.

Q: Are the chosen duos known by our opponents?
A: Yes, the chosen, three element pairs will be public.

Q: Are Other cards allowed?
A: Yes.

Q: If Other cards are allowed, can we use Quantum Towers?
A: No, because the only PPMs allowed are pendulums.

Q: In different rounds, can we change the order of our three duo decks?
A: Yes.

[Wyand]

and DBH banned -.-

let's ban sader and vagger for or any poison cards for -.-

(I mean guys, it is upped don't be so scared that you ban both Disco and BH! Give us back Disco pls!
Also allow the usage of Other cards.)

Question: do we have to use different duos for each game in a match? Are this duos known by our opponents?

[Zso_Zso]

DBH is really OP against duos with 1-type of pendulum only, so is EQ, hence they are both banned.
Q & A added to answer the questions.

[Wyand]

Haven't asked for DBH, only for Disco.

[Submachine]

To avoid constant rule changes, send any change requests to the TOs until Friday, and the TOs will announce the changes at once. After Friday, no more change requests will be accepted.

• Each deck must be a duo of two opposite elements ( - ,  -  ,  -  ,  -  ,  -  ,  -  )
• Each deck may only contain minimum 40% (rounded up) and maximum 50% (rounded down) pendulums of the element opposite to the mark, and no other PPMs
  [If you must, set a minimum of twelve (and maximum of 20) pendulums.]
• Each deck must contain equal number of at least eight and maximum 12 [I'd personally go for 14] non-PPM cards from the two elements
• Maximum deck size is 40
• Players must choose 3 different pairs of elements to use for the the 3 games of a match and then re-use the same element pairs for all matches of the tournament (they may alter the specific decks between matches, but must keep the same element pairs).
• The following cards and their upgraded versions are banned:

My take.

[Wyand]

This concludes no change in rules?

[Submachine]

Thanks for the reminder. I checked all suggestions and made a few changes/clarifications.

• Black Hole, Amber Nymph, Blue Nymph and Shard of Freedom are no longer banned.
• Instead of set percentages, decks can have between 12 and 20 pendulums regardless the deck size.
• Other cards are allowed.

Sorry Wyand, but Discord was an easier ban than BH and Amber Nymph.

[Wyand]

"Each deck must contain between 12 and 20 pendulums of the element opposite to the mark, and no other PPMs.

Other cards are allowed."

Does this mean QPs/QTs still banned?

Spoiler for Hidden:

Sorry Wyand, but Discord was an easier ban than BH and Amber Nymph.

But it is very hard for me.

• Players must choose 3 different pairs of elements to use for the the 3 games of a match and then re-use the same element pairs for all matches of the tournament (they may alter the specific decks between matches, but must keep the same element pairs).

Does the order of those pairs matter when re-using them?

[Submachine]

That is correct.

• Players must choose 3 different pairs of elements to use for the the 3 games of a match and then re-use the same element pairs for all matches of the tournament (they may alter the specific decks between matches, but must keep the same element pairs).

Does the order of those pairs matter when re-using them?

The order of the decks can be changed.

I'm adding these to the Q&A as well.
