Next season (which starts a week from the time of this post), will be mostly the same as this one. Duels will work the same way and so on. There will probably be a few more events though. The main addition to JDC is a sort of extended event called JDCE. It is currently under construction and is nearing completion. Here is some info on it.
<b>What is JDCE?</b>
JDCE stands for Jazz Duelist Challenge - Elimination. It is a new part of JDC that runs alongside the current season. It uses a more traditional structure for a tournament, one that requires you to progress through a series of matches arranged by the system. Every time you beat a person, they are eliminated and you progress to the next match. Unlike regular JDC duels, you cannot select your opponents. JDCE is not a separate tournament. You must have a regular JDC account to participate in JDCE. The winner of a JDCE “season” will get a set amount of points added to their score for the main season. The runners up may get points as well.
<b>About JDCE duels.</b>
In JDCE you must duel the person the system matches you up with. You will have one week to complete that duel, and failure to do so will result in one of a few things happening, which will be listed later on. Both participants of the duel MUST agree on all of the following BEFORE the duel is started: The host (third party highly recommended), the roast count and/or time limit and the level. If you do not duel, one of you will still have to be eliminated. If the reason for the duel not being done is because someone is away, the person who is away will be declared the loser. If there is a chance that the duel can be completed in the near future, the time period may be extended. Otherwise, the loser will simply be selected by a coin-flip. You can see what time the user is usually playing jazz2 by looking in their user details.
<b>Qualification Matches</b>
Before the actual JDCE season starts, you must go through the qualification matches. JDCE can only hold 16, 32, 64 (and so on) people due to the type of system it uses, so a qualification phase where a few people are eleminated must be done. In the qualification phase, you will be placed into a group with people that have similar GMT offests (time zones) to you. You must then duel all of the people in your group. After qualification is over, the players who dueled the worst will be eleminated so the number will be rounded to one that works. Players who don't duel at all will automatically be ranked the lowest.
JDCE is going to be on a seperate website, and it is totally optional. We will most likely make it so all signups for JDCE will take place in round 1 of season 7, the qualification in round 2, and the rest of JDC in the other rounds. Depending on how long it takes, we may do 2 or 3 JDCE seasons during the regular JDC season. Ask any questions here, and they will be answered.
