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.

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