RCC Showdown Series

Welcome to the RCC Showdown Series — a recurring competitive circuit hosted by Rare Candy Club on Pokémon TCG Live.
Each Showdown event awards series points based on final placement, and overall standings are updated after every tournament.

Rules

1. Check In: Check-in opens 1 hour before the tournament starts. If you fail to check in, you may be issued a game loss or removed from the event.

2. Discord Requirement: We strongly encourage all players to join our Discord in case of incidents that require judges. To be eligible for any prizes, you must join the Discord.

3. Slowplay: Match timers should be enabled to help monitor slow play. If you believe your opponent is slowplaying, contact a judge immediately.

4. Technical Difficulties: If a disconnection, error, or glitch occurs in your match, call a judge. Upon requesting a judge, a screenshot or recording may be required to assist judges in their decision.

5. Unsportsmanlike Behavior: Unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated. Proof of any such behavior may result in disqualification from the tournament and/or removal from the series.

6. Round End: Report your win/loss before time ends. If time is called during the round and there is no declared winner in Best-of-1, the match will be recorded as a tie. Players are encouraged to take screenshots/recordings for any discrepancies for judge review.
