9th Trials - Announcements

[Zawadx]

dark ripper has withdrawn from Trials due to personal reasons, and Captain Scibra has remained inactive for a long time. So we are removing them both from trials, and to prevent more hassle on the part of STANDIN, will be awarding free wins to all their remaining opponents. Each of their opponents with matches remaining against them  will receive a win in each match they were supposed to play against them, but will also have to give up an instance of an element in their element pool. The element chosen for this should be posted after Phase 2 matches end.

If Captain Scibra returns before the end of Phase 2 and wishes to continue with Trials, then he will be able to play his matches.

Also, note that Physsi's bonus points have been awarded! Thanks to all those who put in their efforts in Phase 1, hope you enjoy the rewards!

Phase 2 has ended! You may begin posting decks!

TrOs will be compiling a list of remaining matches, and making the relevant decisions. If you have ANY matches remaining, please PM both TrOs with info regarding all contact you had with your opponent about the match IMMEDIATELY. Thank you for your co-operation.

[Zawadx]

Here are the matches which still remained, as far as I know. You should send all the info regarding contact:

Blacksmith vs. Treebeard_xii
Blacksmith vs. CrockettRocket
Blacksmith vs. Zso_Zso
CrockettRocket vs. Treebeard_xii
Vangelios vs. MegroN
Montrossen vs. Dm

Due to flyingcat's unavailability, all of his remaining games are treated as losses

ddevans96 vs. Fippe94, dd given the win due to availability upto the last minute (if you think this was unfair, please contact us, Fippe)
ji412jo vs. STANDIN 3-0 due to my unavailability at the required time
CR vs. STANDIN awarded .75 points due to conflicting times on both sides.

A change has been made to the rulings regarding flyingcat's Phase 2 games.

Zawadx and I have agreed that the previous announcement regarding flyingcat's games is unfair towards participants who have already played their Phase 2 games against him.

Instead of all games automatically being treated as losses, participants will instead be asked to provide evidence that they made an attempt to contact flyingcat and arrange time for a game.

• If they are able to provide evidence of attempted contact, their score will be updated to match that of any already-played games by any in-element participants. (e.g. Fire participants claiming wins against flyingcat will receive a 5-1 score to match RootRanger's result.) In the case where no other in-element participants played any games against flyingcat, all of flyingcat's games will be treated as losses.
• If they are not able to provide evidence, all games will be treated as draws.

This reflects the rulings in the Phase 2 section, as flyingcat was active at the beginning of the Phase;
"If both players can provide sufficient evidence that they tried to make a match happen, but were unable to complete it, the TrOs reserve the right to award up to 0.12 points (per game) to each player for a draw."

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. This decision has been made to provide fair treatment to players who complete their battles earlier in the Phase, and to prevent giving an advantage to those leaving their games until the end. This is being announced in case the rulings need to be referred to again in future Trials.

Please feel free to contact Zawadx or myself if you have any questions or feedback regarding this change.


Cheers

Due to the large amounts of decks which have yet to posted and all the info specified (Which opponents the deck was used against, and whether it won or lost for each game), we've practiced some leniency and allowed everyone in the polls. But please get your decks posted ASAP. Unless you post your decks properly by the end of Phase 3, you will NOT be allowed to participate in the Final Battle.

The following people remain to post decks perfectly:

deuce22
MegroN
flyingcat
montrossen
Dm
CrockettRocket
Blacksmith

And Higurashi (STANDIN). Please post your decks at your earliest convenience!
