Tournament Rules & PTCGL Guidelines

Discord Required: All players must be in the Discord server for round announcements, pairings alerts, and judge support.

Match Check-In (5 Mins): Players have 5 minutes to check into their match on Limitless once a round goes live. Missing check-in results in an automatic round loss.

• Friend Requests & Deck Selection: Add your opponent's PTCGL username promptly and double-check that you select the exact Expanded decklist you submitted on Limitless. Selecting the wrong deck results in a game loss.

• Disconnects & Bugs: If Pokémon TCG Live crashes or freezes, take a full-screen screenshot immediately and click Call a Judge on Limitless. Judges will review screenshots to determine the outcome. Please post any screenshots in the discord server!

• Time & Ties: If a Best-of-1 match goes to time, the game ends in a Tie (unless a player concedes before the round timer expires).

• Sportsmanship: Keep chat friendly and respectful. Slow play, stalling, or toxic behaviour will result in a match loss.
