• 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".
