Gameplay Rules:
Make Reading A Habit!
Be Puntual: Respect everone's time
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. If round timer is out while a match is ongoing, the result of that match will count ( ex. 1-2 or 0-2). If that result ends in a tie (1-1), the round will count as a tie.
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.
If connectivity issue happened BEFORE pressing Start Battle, Restart match.
If connectivity issue happened AFTER pressing Start Battle, the player with the connectivity issue must take the loss. (Cards faced down before pressing Start Battle will not show up on Battle Log)
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.
