No elements have less than 2 competitors, so the whole addendum is void now. No extra time.

Taking down the message requires anti or Higs to do it, so it should take one/two days.

That's under Higs' jurisdiction.

It's unfair to award points for losing 2-3 while matchs end at 3-0. Matchs should continue until 4-0 to verify result wouldn't become 3-2

edit: Unsure if unfair is the correct word since everyone has the same rules, but my point stands with whichever word I'm failing to conjure. Inconsistent? Short sighted? Random? Unfortunate? A shame? Annoying? Damning? Incomplete?

It's considered more of an accomplishment to win the first three games without letting the opponent win any. In other events, rules depending on the final outcome of the match being 3-0 or 3-1 also didn't continue after someone has three wins, e.g. War 7 Round 1.

Well, I suggest important rules like the elements' usage per matches should not be just bold but also colored with a strong color like orange or yellow. That way, there would be less noobs like me who missed a few important deckbuilding rules of the event.

Your suggestion has been noted, thank you!

I would suggest to make more restrictive meta-altering deck-building rules, e.g. what Oni did previous Trials was fun with that graph-walking (even though we complained about the complexity, but at the end it was really interesting). The current rules allow pretty much open-meta, especially for the master's battles, where we do not even have bans. The even-game shard is a good rule in this sense (a step in the right direction), but it is not enough IMHO. More tweaks like that would be nice.

Possible rule ideas to include:
- you are only allowed to use any in-element card maximum two games per match (to avoid over-using an OP card)
- you are allowed to use a total of 10 copies of each in-element card (except for pillars/pends) per match -- an alternative way to achieve the above

I like that there is a pool-phase for the masters and it is not just a single-elimination tourney -- kudos for that!

I would suggest putting a time limit between matches.
I agree to postponing and continuing another day if needed but taking an hour between 2 matches is just ridiculous.
