• Top Cut: At the end of the Swiss period, the top players will advance to a single-elimination bracket.

• Check-In will open at 9:30am on Nov 23 Saturday ( GMT+8 ).
• Participants should be present in the Facebook Group Community Chat or Discord by 10:00am (GMT+8).
• 10:00am onwards: You should coordinate the Match Password with your opponent and begin play within that period. Players who are late and/or non-responsive may incur a penalty including match loss and possibly removal from the event.

• Check-In Timeout: Automatic Loss is given to player who did not Check-In.
• Checked-In but did not continue playing: Player wins round if 5 mins before the round timer is up and opponent is no-show.
• Participants who finished a match should be ready for the next one.

Gameplay Rules:

• Proof of Match Result: It is recommended that players take a screenshot of the Victory screen(Card of the Game page) for each game and post it in the Community Chat or Discord. You should keep a copy until the end of the tournament in case there is a dispute. If two players disagree on the outcome of a game and neither has proof, it will be scored a double loss.
• Time Limit: in-game match time and Limitless' Round Timer
• Incorrect Deck: Do not start the match. Restart.
• Game Loss Due to Connectivity Issues: It is our policy that each game initiated should count toward the match outcome. If a player’s game becomes unresponsive due to internet or app issues, that player should accept the game loss.
• Loading / Unresponsive screen during passcode search or match start: Do not continue. Restart the match.
• Tie resolution: Ties are worth 0 point. Matches that end in a tie due to the round timer expiring will be considered a tie.
• Disputes: Any disputes should be resolved by the tournament official and should be backed by screenshots.
• Stream Sniping: Players are allowed to stream their games. Players streaming their matches may want to run a delay on their stream to stop viewers from having any advantage. Using an advantage from a stream, be it seeing someone's hand or getting outside advice may lead to penalties. Proven stream sniping will lead to DQ
• FINALS Match: If possible, screen-record your best-of-3 final match. This will be included in the announcement of the winner. In addition to the Victory page screenshot.

Sportsmanship and Fair Play:

• Maintain good sportsmanship throughout the tournament.
• Avoid any disruptive or disrespectful behavior.
