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.
