The tournament will have Swiss rounds with a top cut, size dependent on number of players. Players will have 48 hours from the start of the round to finish their games. Games will be best of one, untimed within the game, and Top Cut will be best of 3, untimed, with the person who loses game one choosing if they would like to go first or second.
In the event that a round finishes early, players will have 48 hours plus extra time from the previous round to finish their next game. If players are having issues coordinating, please call fo a judge in the limitless match chat, or DM the TO directly on discord (Jirachi123#5648). If players do not finish their match or report their match correctly and have not contacted the TO by the time the next round is up, both players in the match will receive a double game loss.

To sign up for the event, players must register here, submit a legal deckles, and join the discord. While in the discord, players must gain the Team Galactic Grunt Role, which is important so the TO can ping players with important details, as well as notify players when certain games are starting if they have any interest in watching them. Unlike many tournament series, it is mandatory to join this discord to play the event, for these reasons, and another.
Players must play their games in one of the 'Tournament Play' voice channels within the server, to allow spectation. This is done to allow people to view matches going on to potentially catch misplays or cheating, but also so people can watch more games of the format for fun. You may spectate any games occurring in a tournament play channel, but while in an active tournament play channel please mute your microphone, unless you have a game state correction to make.

The first round of the tournament will begin Wednesday June 30, 10:00 AM PST. Players may use the match chat or discord to communicate, but keep in mind if there is a dispute, a judge can view the history in the limitless match chat.

Lastly, when submitting information for the event, please put your discord in the PTCGO name.

There will be no prizing for this event, however the champion will recieve an applicable role promotion (see #roles)

In order to copy and paste your deck to submit it, please familiarize yourself with Pokegear.app. You will have to manually build your deck through this website, but it is fairly simple to do so, and there are instructions on exporting your deck by clicking the "?" in the top right hand corner of the site. This will be our first time incorporating the submission method, so do not be concerned if something goes wrong, simply ask for help from an admin, or in the discord server and someone will be able to help you out.
