I _think_ the tutorial I created last Trials holds up (possible changes/updates in CamStudio?) still:

The following clarifications have been added to the rules.  If you feel any of these clarifications affects you, please contact the TrOs via chat or PM.  We are sorry for any inconvenience caused by vagueness in the previous wording.

• If you ban an in-element card, you cannot ban another in-element card for either even/odd number games. You can only use two even/odd number game bans on in-element cards if you do not completely ban an in-element card.

has become

• For in-element cards you may either use full bans or ban for (even)/(odd) games.
• Banning an in-element card for all games invalidates any subsequent (even) or (odd) in-element bans.
• Banning an in-element card for (even) or (odd) games invalidates any subsequent (full) in-element bans
• If you choose to use (even)/(odd) bans on in-element cards, you may only have 2 such bans.

• The order you send in bans will determine what bans are illegal/legal (See example 3)

has become

• The order you send in bans will determine what bans are illegal/legal
• This means if you use up too many ban points, they will be accepted in the order of the list (See example 3)
• This also means that if you make any two incompatible bans, the one higher in the list will be accepted and the other invalidated

2) If you wish to share your ban list with your opponent before the end of the banning phase then you need to note in your ban list PM that you wish to do so. If both players in an Element note this in their bans, as soon as the bans are processed they will be PMed to those players and no changes will be allowed after that point.

has become

2) If you wish to share your ban list with your opponent before the end of the banning phase then you need to note in your ban list PM that you wish to do so. If both players in an Element note this in their bans, as soon as the second ban list is received, both lists are final and may not be updated or altered.  Illegal bans will be processed per the rules above, as though the list were received and not updated before the deadline.  The order of the list will determine which are accepted and which are invalidated according to the rules for bans.  Please check your lists very carefully or ask a TrO to review them for legality before submitting them if you are unsure.

Several people have contacted me via google to get access to the Trials Bans google doc.  that access will not be available to anyone other than myself and Zawadx until either
1) The deadline passes and all bans are processed
2) We receive all banlists and all banlists were marked "to be shared immediately"

Until one of these conditions is met, the banlist google doc will remain private as indicated in the rules post.  Once the conditions are met, it will become available to anyone with the link for viewing.

"Banning a nymph/alchemy card also bans the corresponding alchemy/nymph card for that element. This 'extra' ban does NOT cost ban points."

What does this mean? Can you give an example?

[CuCN]

Banning Quintessence would also ban Turquoise Nymph. This only counts as one ban.

"Banning a nymph/alchemy card also bans the corresponding alchemy/nymph card for that element. This 'extra' ban does NOT cost ban points."

What does this mean? Can you give an example?

Spoiler for I'm probably an idiot:

I would assume banning rage potion also bans fire nymph.
And banning fire nymph bans rage potion.
If you ban, say, antimatter, this extra ban on purple nymph does not cost ban points.

Alchemy cards are the singular cards that nymphs create/use.
They are:
Antimatter, Aflatoxin, Black Hole, Basilisk Blood, Adrenaline, Rage Potion, Nymph's Tears, Luciferin, Unstable Gas, Precognition and Liquid Shadow. They all have the respective element's symbol in their art.

[CCCombobreaker]

Banning Quintessence would also ban Turquoise Nymph. This only counts as one ban.

In case you are waiting for a TrO to officially answer, CuCN's example is correct.  As is Frozen's more complete answer.

Link to ban spreadsheet is now live.  Final battles may begin.  If you set a time, please let us know here so we can update the table so people can be there at the time of your match.
