STRUCTURE

All matches in this tournament are Best-of-3 games.

   Players who have at least 2 wins advance; all others eliminated.

2. Remaining players enter Swiss Phase Two (Rounds 5-8)
   Players who have at least 5 wins advance; all others eliminated.

3. Remaining players enter a Single-Elimination Bracket to determine the tournament winner.
   Bracket seeding will be determined by your current position in the standings.

DECK RULES

Visit the PTCGL League Discord Server for details on how to build & submit your decklist(s).

Players will construct their decklists according to special deck rules that will change every 2 rounds during the Swiss portion of the event. These deck rules are inspired by past PTCGL League events.

For Top Cut matches, the remaining players will be asked to construct 3 new decks (one for each game in the Best-of-3 set). These three custom rulesets will be brand new from rabidragon.

TOURNAMENT POLICIES

3-Day Rounds / 24-Hour Check In: Once a new round is paired all players will have 3 days to complete the match with their opponent. You MUST complete check in and initiate contact with your opponent within the first 24 hours. If you are missing matches/check-ins or are non-responsive to messages from your opponent, you may be dropped without warning at the organizer's discretion.

Going First/Second: The winner of the coin flip decides who goes first for Game 1.  For Games 2 & 3, the loser of the prior game gets to decide who goes first.  (In cases where the winner of the previous game wins the coin flip and selects the wrong option by accident, the opponent is entitled to request a restart of the affected game.)

Game Loss Due to Connectivity/App Issues or Player Mistakes: It is league policy that each game that is initiated should count toward the match outcome. Some unfortunate situations may arise during gameplay — a player’s game may end or become unresponsive due to internet or app issues, the player may choose the wrong deck, etc. In those cases, that player should accept the game loss.

Incomplete Matches: At the end of a scheduled round, any incomplete matches will be automatically scored a double loss.  If one player was primarily responsible for the match not being completed (examples: lack of reasonable communication, insufficient availability to schedule a the match, leaving in the middle of a best-of-3 set, etc), the organizer is permitted to give their opponent the victory.

Illegal Decklist: If a player is discovered to have submitted a deck that does not comply with the rules, they will be dropped from the event without exception. It is the player’s responsibility to submit a legal decklist in advance; no changes of any kind are allowed once the event has started.

Family Friendly Community: We welcome players of all ages. You are expected to conduct yourself appropriately and keep discussions polite. Inappropriate content in the form of usernames, language used in chat, or in any other context is subject to removal from the event.

Need Help?: If you have any questions or concerns during the event, use the "Request a Judge" button here on Limitless or get in touch with @rabidragon on Discord.
