Welcome to the 16th PokéStats Old Format event! This tournament will be played in the BREAKthrough through Ultra Prism format (BKT-UPR), which was used for the third quarter of the 2017-18 season, most notably for the 2018 Latin America International Championships.
This tournament will be played with best-of-one Swiss rounds plus a best-of-three Top Cut based on attendance (number of Swiss rounds subject to change). Matches will be played on PTCGO; both players must draw-pass on their first turn, then play resumes as normal (this is to negate the turn 1 supporter rule change).
REGISTRATION:
- FREE! No need to send packs this time. We are funding the prizing, and as such, any donations would be greatly appreciated. Send me a message on Discord (E_Arts15#3619) and add me on PTCGO (Erik_A) if you wish to donate!
- Submit a decklist only containing cards from XY: BREAKthrough to Sun & Moon: Ultra Prism here on Limitless. Failure to do so will result in being dropped from the event. Later reprints of cards still legal in this format are permitted.
- Be sure to CHECK IN before the event begins if you hope to play!
PRIZING:
- Exact payout is to be determined by attendance, and will be announced during the tournament in our Discord.
IMPORTANT:
- If a player forgets to draw-pass on their first turn, or evolves on "turn 1," the game is to restart and that player will get a double Prize penalty.
- If you disconnect during a game, you will receive a game loss, however your opponent can choose to deny it.
- IDs (intentional draws) ARE allowed.
- To communicate these or any other tournament-related issues to staff, use the "Call a Judge" function on your match screen.
- Decklists are CLOSED as we believe that this will improve the tournament experience. However, please adhere to the spirit of the game and do not abuse this feature by switching out any cards from your deck during the event.
- Be sure to join the PokéStats Official Discord server at https://discord.gg/Fvfn8Da9P7 in case we must contact you for any reason before, during or after the event.
