Rules and Procedures

Disconnections

If a disconnection occurs, please Request A Judge. A judge will then instruct you on how to proceed. If you are the cause of a disconnection, it may result in a game loss.

Team Sheet Errors

As we are playing with an Open Team Sheet format, it is vital that teams match what was submitted. If a team sheet error is found, take a screencap of the error, Request A Judge, and continue to play out the game. Team sheet errors may result in a game loss.

Connecting to your opponent

To help prevent disconnections and online bans, connect to your opponent through the Union Circle. One player hosts the union circle, while the other joins. Then, both players search for a double battle. Please use 'Official Rules 1'. It is the responsibility of the player choosing the rules to select the correct ruleset.

No Shows

Players have 10 minutes to show up and check into their match. If players do not check into their match within the 10 minutes, they may lose the match. If you have forgotten to check in to the match but are in game/setting up the match, Request A Judge, and we can reset the match for you. Players who no show to matches may also be dropped. If you wish to not be dropped from the event please let an Admin know

Rental Teams

Rental teams are allowed, but please keep in mind that if there are any team errors it may result in loss of a Pokémon, as you would be unable to adjust the Pokémon in game.
