More Info

What is Swiss?

  • "Swiss" is a tournament structure format where in every round, all players play 1 match without eliminations, regardless of their Win/Loss/Tie record. In every round, each player is paired with a different player equal to, or similar to their current score.

  • After a set amount of rounds, the ranking between players is shown by the score earned in the Swiss phase (Win = 3 points, Tie = 1 point, Loss = 0 points).

  • Tie breakers of points is determined by calculating "Resistance", which represents how well the opponents of a certain player have done during the same phase.

  • It is important to note that the ranking is all automatically calculated by the LimitlessTCG website and shown online.

Unfinished Matches during Timeout

  • When the timer goes out as players are playing a match, players have to play 3 more turns before ending the game, regardless of what happens in these turns.

  • The turn of the player playing their turn during the timeout is counted as Turn 0.

  • After the player who is playing turn 0 ends their turn, their opponent plays their turn (Turn 1 of timeout), then back to them (Turn 2 of timeout), then back to the opponent (Turn 3 of timeout).

  • If no winner has been decided after all 3 turns have been completed, The game ends as a tie.

  • After the result of the timeout game has been decided, the player who has more game wins is the winner of the match (ex: 1-0, 2-0, 2-1). If both players have an equal amount of games won (0-0, 1-1), then the match is considered a tie.

  • If you are facing any issues implementing these rules, call a judge/organizer to help.
