Introduction
Greetings challenger. I am Koroua, and this is my gladitorial arena on the wonderful planet of Geron. Here, you will take part in a series of battles against other legendary champions, seeking the greatest of prizes. Do you have what it takes to become a legend? Come now, test your might!
Championship for the first Spring Series of tournaments. Day 2 will consist up of the top 50 players, best of three. The top 16 players from that will move onto Day 3. The two finalists from that will compete in the final round.
There will be no match timers that you need to check into on Limitless. Once you are assigned your opponent, a judge will DM you a VC channel to join. You and your opponent will check in with the judge who will keep track of the game clock. Due to this, rounds be will 60 minutes long to accomodate for this. This is to more efficiently mitigate the consequences of unforseen circumstances / technical errors.
Due to Expanded no longer having new sets added to it on PTCGO, COL will be held off indefinitely after this tournament. My team and I are exploring a possible webcam option (proxies would be allowed in this case due to the circumstances) to continue hosting tournaments until PTCGL fully integrates Expanded. This is still in the early stages of testing, so expect some "trial webcam tournaments" to show up (do not sign up for these tournaments, they are strictly for testing only).

Arena Rules
- Decks are set to "Open List", meaning you can view your opponent's list.
- Decklists must be submitted in advance.
- Under no circumstance will you be allowed to make any changes to your decklist once the tournament begins, nor use any deck that is different from the list you submitted. The consequences of doing such will be disqualification.
- If a decklist does not comply with the stated rules, you will be disqualified from the tournament.
- If you accidentally pick the wrong deck, declare before the first and second moves are made.
- Anything that happens on PTCGO will be legal.
- Save evidence for each other in instances of these.
- Game loss if reconnection is available is not available.
- If you are having issues with your opponent (I.E taunting, purposely taking their time, hacking, cheating, etc.), contact a judge immediately in the #request-judge channel on the Discord server.
- Please contact a judge as soon as possible. If you take too long, the request will be rejected.
- Provide as much evidence as you can; the more you provide, the better the judges can solve the situation quicker.
- Continue the match as you communicate with the judges.
- You and your opponent may declare Intentional draw within 3 minutes after the check-in timer is up.
- When time is called in Swiss Round, the game will be declared a tie.
- When time is called during Top Cut (only applicable if Top Cut is included in event):
- If time is up during your turn, that will be the last turn of the game. No additional turns may be given unless given approval by a judge.
- The winner will be determined by the number of remaining Prize Cards.
- If both players have the same number of prizes, the game will continue until there is a difference in prizes.
- It is highly recommended that you save screenshots / recordings during this period should anything come up, as stated previously.
