Tournament Structure

The tournament begins at 5:00pm EST (-05:00 GMT), January 4th on a Saturday. The tournament will be Best of 1, and each round will be timed by the TCGOne Timer of 25 minutes for each player. NOTE: Players whose timers expire will be considered the loser of the match. Please consider your online connection and gameplay with this in mind. (TCGONE has max 50 minutes of in-game time). Players are NOT allowed to extend time to an opponent. This prevents unnecessary delays.

Top Cut will proceed after the Swiss Rounds, the top 8 players will play the double elimination matches.(Best of 1 )

What happens if my opponent is late to the round?

Players have exactly 5 Minutes to begin playing. If a player's time has exceeded 5 minutes without proper acknowledgement by the admin(s) contacted or both players' consent, the player who is not late must mark themselves as the winner after confirmation.

Are there any bugs that I should be aware of?

Currently, there are no major bugs on TCGOne. However, if any significant bugs are discovered during tournament play, a tournament admin may allow or direct any affected players to replace those cards with either Basic Energy cards, or in some instances, a similar card. For example, if a particular Magikarp was bugged and could not evolve into Gyarados, that player could be allowed to use a different Magikarp for the remainder of the event.

What happens if there is a Game Engine Error or a Major Bug is discovered?

TCGOne has been known in the past to have Game Engine Errors and new bugs appearing. If a player encounters a new bug or encounters a Game Engine Error, do not restart your match! Please contact the tournament organizer or admins if you run into this issue, and the players and the admin will help to determine what the best course of action is. Generally, game-breaking errors will award the win to the player that was leading in prizes when the crash occurred. (If the game was tied, the players may be directed to play a Sudden Death match.) However, if restarting the game is unlikely to cause any delays to the event, a tournament admin may allow the match to be replayed. If a game crash was caused by one player disconnecting (or any sort of exploitation of online play), that player will forfeit the match.

Are there any restrictions to Decklists?

Deck lists are closed for this tournament, however, any foul play detected or reported by a player and proven will result in a permanent ban from our tournaments. Your list MUST be legal to participate. Please refer to any potential bugged cards before submitting your list, and contact an administrator if you have any questions or trouble submitting your list.
