Players must buy a Surging Sparks Build & Battle kit in the tournament venue provided by Art of Cardz for 150QR
All participating players will receive 3 Surging Sparks packs free of charge to include in their decks and keep.
Players need to bring a valid pack of 40 sleeves, with extras for replacement; sleeves will not be sold at the event.
It is highly preferable that players bring their own playing accessories (Dice, Playmat, Coin, etc.)

Build & Battle: Cards are Strictly limited to whatever is inside the one Build & Battle kit you open during the event as well as the 3 extra packs given, with the exception of infinite Basic energy provided by the organizers.

Decks must be exactly 40 cards.
There is no limit to the amount of cards you can play with the same name (unless a card specifies it. ex: Radiant Pokémon/Ace Specs). This means that you can play 5 or more "Nest Ball" cards for example, if you pull them.
The only cards outside the Build & Battle box that can be used are basic energy.

Setup is done exactly like a standard game of Pokémon TCG, except that only 4 prize cards are set instead of 6.
Players play normally as they would in a standard game of Pokémon TCG
The win conditions remain the same as a standard game (Prize cards, Empty board of Pokémon, Deck out).

This tournament will be played round by round, in order; since each round pairings are dependent on the previous round results.
For each round, every player will have to play 1 match. (On rare occasions, some players may have a bye on a round, which is a free win).
All matches will be played in a 30 minute, Best of 1.
The round timer will be one timer running for all players, and when it runs out, all players still playing a game must follow the rules that decide the winner of the game in this case. (Explained in "More Info").
The round timer is visible when you click on dashboard during the tournament (before you click on your match).
The amount of rounds played will depend on the number of participating players.

"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.

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.
