If you earned at least one badge (top 4 finish) during this series, you'll be listed on the document linked above and are eligible to play. Players may use Pokemon/Trainers as determined by the corresponding badges they earned during the series.

IMPORTANT: This is NOT a live event! Players will have up to 3 days to complete their match with each opponent. Players are responsible for timely contact with their opponent to coordinate a time to play. Most of our players find it easiest to communicate via the PTCGO League Discord Server.

Structure

SWISS (BO3) with 3-Day Rounds: Players will have three days to complete their match against each opponent. Any matches without results reported by end of the round will be scored a double loss. If there is no sign of activity you will be dropped.

TOP CUT (BO3): Following the swiss phase, the Top 4 players will advance to a single-elimination bracket.

Policies

Deck Sharing ON: The Deck List Sharing feature must always be turned ON in the game settings.

Match Timers ON: When you challenge your opponent you must always enable the Timed Match option.

Going First/Second: The winner of the coin flip decides who goes first for Game 1. For Games 2 & 3 in best-of-three matches, 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).

Wrong Deck Selected: If a player chooses the wrong deck by accident, they must declare so immediately before any actions are taken. If Deck Sharing is on, the opposing player should be able to verify that the deck was in fact incorrect and the game should be replayed. If any conditions above are not met, the result is a game loss.

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.

Disconnections/Leaving a Game: 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 or a player leaves the game for any other reason, it is considered a game loss.

Need Help?: Please notify the organizer immediately if you have any concerns. Use the Request a Judge button here on Limitless or get in touch with @rabidragon#3983 on our league's Discord.
