Hello gamers, we are aware of client issues with PTCGL but are going to try to have the tournament tonight anyway. That being said there are a few notes I wanted to go over:

-Before the tournament please make sure you can connect to other players for friend battles, if you need someone to test on please contact me on the Discord and I'll hop on and help. If you are experiencing problems connecting after a few tries and restarts we kindly ask that you drop from the tournament.

-Any connection issues will not result in a time extension for tonight. Any players experiencing the "connecting" bug will be asked to please show proof in the #judge-requests channel on the Blue Ditto tournament Discord. If both players are unable to connect they will be given a tie but if a player experiences the glitch every round we kindly ask that you drop or let a judge know and we will drop you. None of us are happy about this but sadly there is nothing we can do about this until a fix is implemented in the game and we want to make sure other players are still able to participate in the tournament.

-ANY decks using Palafin TWM 060 will not be allowed tonight due to the game breaking glitches it is causing. We have implemented a ban on the card on Limitless but if it somehow sneaks in and played we will ban the player!

-If there are too many players experiencing the "connecting" bug we will cancel and reschedule the tournament for a later date. We know many players use these tournaments for practice especially with NAIC coming up in a few weeks so we want to make sure everyone can have a good time and play.

When time is called during Swiss Rounds BO1 the game will be a Tie, unless otherwise stated by Staff

When time is called during Top Cut BO3 the tiebreaker will be the total prize count for each player.

If time is called it is a Tie!! If you believe your opponent is "Playing Slowly", please call a Judge BEFORE THE END OF THE ROUND. The only acceptable forms of proof are: streaming your game in the Blue Ditto Tournaments Discord Server or your opponent admitting to "Playing Slowly"

Check In Policy: It is the players responsibility to Check In prior to each match - failure to do so will result in an automatic Game Loss. If your opponent wants to reset the match, they will need to be the one to call the Judge.

Incorrect Deck: If you select a wrong deck , please Call a Judge on Limitless, type in chat that you selected your wrong deck, and wait. If you have made any other actions in game - it will be an automatic Game Loss . If the right conditions are met, Staff will tell you to restart the game.

Bugs and Glitches: If you experience any of the following, but not limited to: Game Freezing, Internet Issues, Server Issues, Game Lag, Software Glitch, Device Crashing - it will be awarded as a Game Loss to the player experiencing the issue if the game is unusable. Otherwise attempt to finish the game if possible. If the issue is at the very start of the match (ex: one player hasn't been able to load into to the match on their end to even start) the match will be restart 1 time. If it happens a 2nd time, a Game Loss will be awarded to the player experiencing the issue.

End of Match: All games must be reported on Limitless before time has been called for the round otherwise they will be a "Tie". You can concede to your opponent to give them the "Win", but if there isn't a recorded result before time is called, it will stay a "Tie" It is strongly recommended to have screenshot proof of any win or tie upon the conclusion of a game. If you leave a game without explicitly stating "time is over, this is a tie" or something similar, it could be perceived as a concession.

Streaming: Players are allowed to stream their personal event experience on any streaming service and it is recommended to have a delay on your stream to avoid "stream sniping" or any other disadvantages. Any advantages gained by streaming, such as receiving assistance from your audience, can lead to penalties after staff investigates the situation.

Judge Calls: Issues and problems during your match will be handled by Tournament Staff - please use the Judge Call button. Any issues brought up on Discord won't be guaranteed to be answered.

Inappropriate Behavior: Any player who is found breaking rules, using in game exploits, bullying, harassing, etc. will receive penalties in the order of a Warning, followed by Removal from the Tournament, followed by a Full Tournament Series Ban. Any player who is problematic outside of this event (before, during, and after) may not be eligible to play.
