Rules1. Event will be 2 weeks long. Players will face all other opponents, playing 5 games each.
2. This is an unupgraded event. All decks can only run unupgraded cards.
3. Players will have access to all of their cards at all times, except for Nymphs, Shards, Regrade, and any new cards implemented after the start of the tourney (i.e. all of the new shields).
4. Players may earn 1 bonus point by meeting a deckbuilding restriction regardless of the win/loss result:
a. This restriction will only apply to Game 1.
b. You are encouraged to follow this restriction for more points, but you will not be penalized for not fulfilling the restriction.
c. The restriction you choose does not have to be consistent from match to match
Deck building restrictions are:
i. Call of nature: creatures only (no spells or permanent cards besides pillar/pendulum/mark cards)
ii. Not staying long: Pillarless (no pillars, pendulums or mark cards)
iii. Martial artist: a deck with at least 3 different types of weapons (chroma weapons do not count towards the 3, but can still be in the deck)
After a match is played, both players must post the match result, but wait until the event is over to post deckcodes. Winning a game gives that player 1 point. Building and playing the first game (G1) with a restriction gives an additional 1 point. If a player wins a match 4-1 (4 points) and earns the G1 bonus (1 point) they will earn 5 points for that match. At the end of the event, rewards will be distributed based on the player’s final standing. In the case of a tie, both players will face each other again for another 5 games, no points gained from restrictions. Questions about the rules? Ask the event host. Concerns about event rules/balance? Private message the event host.What does G1 only mean?Rewards General Info on PvPSpoiler for Hidden:
PvP Integrity
1. Strive for good sportsmanship at all times. If you notice a game bug that can be abused before playing, please report the issue.
2. Many issues can be resolved and discussed before "accepting turn". For example, if you speedbuilt a deck and didn't change the mark code, ask your opponent if you can fix the mark and replay before you accept your turn. If you continue on with the game, it is up to the other player to decide if they will replay or not. Do not pressure them into a replay.
3. Players may copy/save the 'replay' code of a game for 'viewing' later on in openEtG's custom section; see in-game chat tabs -> replay. To maintain PvP integrity, please use the replay only as a reference for game issues (i.e. one player disconnected) and to analyze the game later.
PvP Issues
1. Stuck Screens: Sometimes players enter a pvp duel and cannot accept their turn. It looks like one is "stuck" on that screen with the only option to press the resign button. One fix to get 'unstuck' is to to use the L keyboard shortcut to reload game state. Talk through the issue with your opponent and confirm to restart the game.
2. Deck not loaded properly: Another common problem is a player will enter a pvp duel and notice their chosen deck is not loaded and instead their last played deck is loaded. In these cases, let your opponent know right away and ask if it is okay for a replay before accepting your turn and playing any cards. If you start playing before noticing, you may need to accept you error and play on.
3. Lost connection/power: There are times where players lose internet connection to the game, lose power, etc. If you can, take a screen shot and save the game replay. Both players then should discuss if they should replay or if it was very clear one player was going to win. When they are unable to decide, they may ask for a non-participating tournament host or non-playing arbiter to help decide. If both players feel comfortable with a replay, proceed.
4. Weird things happening on the screen: Take a screenshot when you see something odd happen. There can be game bugs. Let the event host know about the issue. If it appears you can play the game through to the end, please do so and save a replay. If you believe the issue could have affected the match result, let both your opponent and the event host know.
