GameplayRules


Please visit the PTCGO League Discord server for a full list of general tournament policies.

Notable Rules:

  • Players must enable Timed Match and play at a reasonable pace. In the event of intentional slow play, you should take a screenshot of each player’s time remaining and submit it to the organizer through Discord.
  • In the event of a disconnect, the timer will continue to run while the player attempts to reconnect. If the game ends the match due to inactivity, the disconnected player will receive the loss.


Structure

All matches in this tournament are BO1 (you'll play a single game against each opponent).

Check-In: you must check in within the first 5 minutes of every round or you will automatically receive the game loss.

Phase 1: Swiss

  • 30-Minute Round Timer
  • There are no extensions; any match without results reported by end of round will be scored a tie.

Following the end of Phase 1, the Top 8 players according to the Standings will advance to Phase 2.

Phase 2: Top Cut

  • Single-Elimination fixed bracket, seeded based on standings from the Swiss portion.
  • The next round will move ahead early if all previous matches are completed.

Reporting Problems

Please notify the organizers immediately if you have any concerns. Use the Request a Judge button here on Limitless or get in touch with the Discord moderators (in this case @rabidragon is the primary organizer).

If you are disputing a result, it always helps to have screenshots or other evidence. The tournament organizer/judges will resolve any disputed match outcomes as fairly as possible using the information available to us. We may disqualify players who are not following the rules or abiding by the spirit of the game.
