HOW TO PLAY

  1. Register and submit a valid decklist prior to the published start time.

  2. Join the PTCGL League Discord Server. We use Discord for event updates and player communication.

  3. Matches are played on the Pokémon TCG Live application.

  4. This event features flexible 3-Day Rounds and will progress over the course of several weeks. You will have three days to coordinate and complete your match against each opponent.

DECK RULES

1. Food Theme:

  • Your deck can only contain cards from THIS LIST.
  • Be careful: not all standard prints of a Pokemon are on the list. For example only 1 of the 3 possible Joltik are allowed.
  • Higher rarity prints of a card are allowed. This means Joltik PAR 196 is allowed since it's functionally the same as Joltik PAR 64.
  • The list contains ALL allowed cards, even basic energy. This means you won't need to add new cards to it, simply modify their quantity.
  • The list is too big for Live, so you will need to import it to a third-party deckbuilder to make a deck. We recommend using the limitless deckbuilder linked here.

2. Rulebox are restricted to Singleton:

  • All Pokemon with a Rule Box are restricted to 1 copy maximum.
  • This means for example only 1 Skuntank V maximum per deck, but also only 1 Skeledirge ex, either the Fire or Metal one.
  • Remember that only Pokemon on THE LIST are allowed to begin with.

TOURNAMENT POLICIES

3-Day Rounds / 24-Hour Check In: Once a new round is paired all players will have 3 days to complete the match with their opponent. You MUST complete check in and initiate contact with your opponent within the first 24 hours. If you are missing matches/check-ins or are non-responsive to messages from your opponent, you may be dropped without warning at the organizer's discretion.

Going First/Second: The winner of the coin flip decides who goes first for Game 1. For Games 2 & 3, the loser of the prior game gets to decide who goes first. (In cases where the winner of the previous game wins the coin flip and selects the wrong option by accident, the opponent is entitled to request a restart of the affected game.)

Game Loss Due to Connectivity/App Issues or Player Mistakes: It is league policy that each game that is initiated should count toward the match outcome. Some unfortunate situations may arise during gameplay — a player’s game may end or become unresponsive due to internet or app issues, the player may choose the wrong deck, etc. In those cases, that player should accept the game loss.

Incomplete Matches: At the end of a scheduled round, any incomplete matches will be automatically scored a double loss (or tie where applicable).  If one player was primarily responsible for the match not being completed (examples: lack of reasonable communication, insufficient availability to schedule a the match, leaving in the middle of a best-of-3 set, etc), the organizer is permitted to give their opponent the victory.

Illegal Decklist: If a player is discovered to have submitted a deck that does not comply with the rules, they will be dropped from the event without exception. It is the player’s responsibility to submit a legal decklist in advance; no changes of any kind are allowed once the event has started.

Family Friendly Community: We welcome players of all ages. You are expected to conduct yourself appropriately and keep discussions polite. Inappropriate content in the form of usernames, language used in chat, or in any other context is subject to removal from the event.

Need Help?: If you have any questions or concerns during the event, use the "Request a Judge" button here on Limitless or get in touch with @Okorizaru or @MattyCims on Discord.
