It might not be in @MineralCup but it could be in the #EleCup22

Got any fun nitrogen facts that could make this element the winner ?_?

[Owen Missen @scimissionowen]

Elements not in #MinCup2021 - #nitrogen
This might be something of a surprise - after all, 78% of each breath is N2 gas, and nitrogen is an essential element for all life on Earth.
However, many nitrogen minerals are ephemeral. Let's take a look!

@MineralCup We made this mistake without a teething newborn.

We know we've been quiet (it's the off season afterall!) but we encourage all our followers to check out this years @MineralCup which starts today!!!!!

[Mineral Cup #MinCup @MineralCup]

It’s that most beautiful time of the year! A mix of 32 minerals (& groups!) from common to esoteric are competing, each with unique reasons to love it above all others.

But only one mineral can be crowned champion.

#MinCup2021 daily votes start September 1st.

[Element Cup @ElementCup]

@megane_hoover We look forward to it!

[Element Cup @ElementCup]

If you enjoyed #EleCup21 consider following and participating in @MineralCup, the cup we are based on!

They are updating their rules so maybe jump in an vote on which rules should stay, go, or be edited.

[Mineral Cup #MinCup @MineralCup]

It’s time to update our rules for #MinCup2021!

We’ll vote on keeping, editing or discarding last year’s rule changes now that we’ve experienced what they’re like during #MinCup2020.

Do you have requests or suggestions for what we should do differently this year?

[Element Cup @ElementCup]

We like the periodic table too ;)

[Stuart Batten @SBattenResearch]

1. Periodic Table
2. Thermodynamics
3. Chemical Bonding

For school students I'd replace Thermodynamics with Stoichiometry.

@Cat_Crotty @Anthony_Lanati @crenggli Was it our filming? We thought we did a good job on a short timeframe with a low budget 🥺

[Element Cup @ElementCup]

@crenggli @Cat_Crotty @Anthony_Lanati Can confirm. We did NOT have the budget for that!

[Element Cup @ElementCup]

@brucefschaefer We do love edgy suggestions, and the polls did show that people want the admins to choose 🤔 .... 😈

@And1129 One can never start advocating for an element too early! Weekend breaks in rounds could be prime time for revving up for the next bracket

[Element Cup @ElementCup]

@roolimoo Admins are having a cracking day. I copied too much of the question.
The yes or no option relates SPECIFICALLY to "Do you think that the cup should run on weekends?"

Apologies. We are a bit too relaxed after our break. Might need more naps

[Element Cup @ElementCup]

@roolimoo Apologies, typo killed this one. To clarify: The yes or no option relates to "Do you think that the cup should run on weekends, or should it be kept to weekdays only?"

Typo: If you think it SHOULDN'T be run on weekends, do you want less matches, or the same number of matches?
