Tournament Rules: Swiss Round BO1 matches are 30 minutes long with 5 mins of Check In per round. Top Cut BO3 matches are 75 minutes long with no Check In. If your opponent is inactive for more than 5 minutes, please call a judge, and we will likely issue a Game Loss to your opponent for inactivity. When time is called during Swiss Rounds BO1 the game will be a Tie, unless otherwise stated by Staff If you believe your opponent is "Playing Slowly", please call a Judge as early as possible. If your Discord crashes, it will most likely result in a game loss unless it has came to a formal conclusion. All games must be reported on Limitless before time has been called for the round otherwise they will be a "Tie". You can concede to your opponent to give them the "Win", but if there isn't a recorded result before time is called, it will stay a "Tie". It is the players responsibility to Check In prior to each match - failure to do so will result in an automatic Game Loss.

All cards used must be in the same color sleeves or no sleeves at all. All cards used must be real cards or proxies. Proxy cards must be full color and actively shows what the card says.
