event summary

  • Late Night Season 3 are typically held EVERY Monday at 7:00PM Eastern
  • Swiss Round BO1 matches are 25 minutes long with 3 mins of Check In per round
  • Top Cut BO3 matches are 50 minutes long with 5 mins of Check In per round
  • If you miss Check In under any circumstance, you will be awarded a Full Match Loss for your round.
  • If you Check In to your event and don't immediately play (for any circumstance), you will receive a Match Loss 2 mins after Check In time has ended in BO1. You will receive a Game Loss 2 mins after Check In time has ended and a Match Loss 4 mins after Check In time has ended in a BO3 match.
  • List submission closes approximately at 7:00PM Eastern
  • This event has multiple Phases - Swiss Rounds BO1 and Top Cut BO3
  • When time is called during Swiss Rounds BO1 the game will be a Tie, unless otherwise stated by Staff
  • When time is called during Top Cut BO3 the winner will be decided by the amount of remaining Prize Cards + Games Won to determine the winner, unless otherwise stated by Staff
  • If time is called during your turn, that is the last turn of the game, please provide screenshot evidence of the game state to determine the winner in case of any misunderstanding
  • If you call a judge to dispute a result, for example you Won, but it shows up as a Tie, please send screenshot proof or a link to your livestream to ZachLesage#3773 on Discord. If you don't have reasonable proof within a reasonable amount of time, the staff won't be able to determine the proper measures to take.
  • It is strongly recommended to have screenshot proof of any win or tie upon the conclusion of a game. If you leave a game without explicitly stating "time is over, this is a tie" or something similar, it could be perceived as a concession.
  • Players are allowed to stream their event run on any streaming service and it is recommended to have a delay on your stream to avoid "stream sniping" or any other disadvantages. Any advantages gained by streaming, such as receiving assistance from your audience, can lead to penalties after staff investigates the situation.
  • If both players aren't in contact with Staff when time is called during Top Cut BO3 there could be potential penalties, such as a Double Game Loss for both players. This is to keep the event timely!
  • All rulings made by Staff are final and will be made with the players, Staff, and event in mind.

round structure This event follows the official Pokemon TCG Tournament Structure for larger sized events as found here Pokemon Tournament Rules Handbook under Section 4.6.3.2. The only modification I'm adding is that for events with over 200 players, an extra round of Swiss for 200-226 players, and I will be cutting to a Top 16. The number of rounds for this event will accurately be based on the following amount of players:

  • 4-8 players = 3 Swiss Rounds and No Top Cut
  • 9-12 players = 4 Swiss Rounds and Top 4 Cut
  • 13-20 players = 5 Swiss Rounds and Top 4 Cut
  • 21-32 players = 5 Swiss Rounds and Top 8 Cut
  • 33-64 players = 6 Swiss Rounds and Top 8 Cut
  • 65-128 players = 7 Swiss Rounds and Top 8 Cut
  • 129-199 players = 8 Swiss Rounds and Top 8 Cut
  • 200-226 players = 8 Swiss Rounds and Top 16 Cut
  • 227-299 players + 14 Swiss Rounds and Top 16 Cut
  • 300-799 players = 14 Swiss Rounds and Top 16 Cut
  • 800+ players = 15 Swiss Rounds and Top 16 Cut
