Shadow Arena duels allow players to gamble DP.

You can challenge a CEA user to a duel and gamble an amount of DP. You must post a Replay of the duels. And the loser needs to confirm his/her defeat.

Both players need to currently have the amount of DP bet in order for the duel to be counted.

Duel modes supported:
- Match Duel

The winner is awarded the DP bet and 3xp. Plus 15DP for taking the risk.


Example:
Post1 (Valkyra): Valkyra vs Sabbaticus. I won by 2-1. Here are the replays: (links to uploaded replays) DP Bet: 50.
Post2 (Sabbaticus): I confirm my loss. Good duels.
Post3 (Admin/Mod): Awarded and locked.

You can only duel the same person for a Battle/Shadow Arena once every 3 days.

The following decks and strategies are not allowed.

Code:

FTK Decks.
Burn Decks.
Stall Decks.
Final Countdown.
Exodia Deck (except Exodia Necross and Exodius based decks).

Clarification of the latter case:
A player cannot win by drawing (or adding to hand) the 5 pieces of exodia.

==========================

If you want to find a duel with someone, PM them or simply ask in the chat if anyone wants to BA.

You shall post using this pattern above.
Now into explaining them:

- Remember to put your GMT! There's something called Time Zone.

Duelling Mode: Match

DP Bet: Amount of DP that was gambled.

Other Notes: Leave it blank unless you need to say something.

======

After the duel happens, the challenged player refuses, or at least a day have passed, a MOD or ADM will change the topic name (to include the other player name OR write "refused"), award if necessary and lock the topic.


NOTE: Admins and Mods

When Awarding and Locking a BA, make sure the two duelists have not participated in a BA duel within the last 3 days before Awarding and Locking it. If the two duelists have indeed dueled in a BA duel within the last 3 days, you must invalidate the BA and lock it.

You can do this with ease by using the Search button in the menu bar at the top.

For example, click the Search button and type "Valkyra vs Sabbaticus" or "Sabbaticus vs Valkyra"

If you want to search all posts with soni in it you can put *soni*. If that asterisk is there it will search for anything that contains soni and ignore both sides of the word.

Eg. *soni* will get the results for sonic or hisoni etc. It searches anything that contains soni.

NOTE: Members of CEA

- Make sure you have not dueled the same person within the last 3 days.
- When posting BA duels, please make sure you write out the full names of their account.
for example; Nick vs Nichi is INVALID and will not be counted.
The correct way is as follows: NickV vs Nichigo.

Happy dueling!
