What Is Progression?

Similar to a pre-release, each player will have a unique card pool. After the sign up period closes, the tournament organizer will generate 36 packs of Brilliant Stars for each player live on stream using pokemonsim.com. The results of this process will be stored in a spreadsheet and sent to the participants via Discord.

To help ease the deckbuilding process, all players also have access to 4x Friends in Sinnoh and Friends in Hisui.

Tournament Structure

Note: This event features 3-day rounds. Players will have 24 hours to check in and coordinate a match time with their opponent.
Players that fail to communicate with their opponent will be given a loss and dropped from the event. Matches that fail to complete despite communication will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

Important Swiss Rounds Note: Wins are worth 3 points; ties are worth 0 points.

Tournament Policies

IMPORTANT! Game results stand even in the event of game errors -- disconnects, crashes, etc.

Proof of Match Result: Keep a record of the Game Recap screen to settle any potential disputes.

Going First/Second: During Games 2 & 3, the loser of the prior game gets to decide who goes first.

Slowplay/Stalling: Intentionally running down the timer is unsporting conduct and may result in consequences. Cases will be evaluated independently by judges. Consequences may be as severe as game losses, match losses, or tournament disqualification.

Dropping: If you no longer wish to play, please use the red "Drop" button on your dashboard.

Family Friendly Community: We welcome players of all ages. Inappropriate usernames, language, etc. will result in disqualification.
