Tournament Rules
Structure:
- Swiss System: You will be paired with a new opponent each round and your goal is to earn as many wins/points as possible.
- A match win is worth 1 point.
- A match loss or draw is worth 0 pts.
- Top Cut: At the end of the Swiss period, the top players will advance to a single-elimination rounds/bracket. Determined automatically by Limiitless.
- Best-of-3: All matches in this tournament are best-of-three games. This means you will play up to three games against each opponent; the first player to win two games is declared the match winner.
Deck Rules:
All currently available Pokémon TCG Pocket cards are allowed.
1 Deck for the duration of the tournament
Tournament Check-In Period:
- Check-In will open at 9:00am on Dec 21 Saturday ( GMT+8 ).
- Participants should be present in the Facebook Group Community Chat or Discord by 9:30am (GMT+8).
- Always be on your Dashboard. This is where you can access your Round Pairings and Match Chatbox.
- 9:30am 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.
- Late Tournament Check-in: Registered Players can still participate in Round 3. Missed rounds will be marked as a loss.
Round Check-In Period:
- Within 5mins of Tournament Start, players must click on the Yellow Check-In button at the start of their round matches.
- Check-In Timeout: Automatic Loss is given to player/s who did not Check-In.
- Checked-In but No-Show/AFK: Recent active player wins round if 10 mins before the round timer is up and opponent is no-show/AFK.
- Players should be prepared for the next round immediately after finishing their current match. Round times may be adjusted if all matches conclude early.
- By chance you arrived on time within 5mins of Round Start, but there was an issue with the Check-in Button(missing or unclickable), this is out of the organizer's hands. Be sure to take a screenshot of the page so we can also report it to Limitless. No proof = no match reset.
Gameplay Rules:
Make Reading A Habit!
Be Punctual: Respect everone's time
Screenshots: Required for issue/dispute claims(in-game and Limitless platform), and Victory Proof ( Card of the Game page ). Keep it until the end of the tournament. Only upload when backing up a claim, or when in Finals (Your Victory page will be included in the winner announcement).
Issues that happened BEFORE pressing Start Battle: Restart match.
Issues that happened AFTER pressing Start Battle: the player with the issue must take the loss. (Cards faced down before pressing Start Battle will not show up on Battle Log)
In-game name: should match the one entered in Limitless and used in TCG Pocket app, otherwise 1 game point will be given to opponent. Check when registering, do not rely on the organizer to change it for you.
Incorrect Deck: Do not press 'Start Battle'. Restart. Deck used in-game should always match with the one submitted in Limitless, otherwise 1 game point will be given to opponent. Continued use of wrong deck=DQ.
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: Do not continue. Restart the match.
Wrong matchup due to passcode too common or just by coincidence: Use autogenerated passcode, make sure opponent's in-game name is the same with the one you're paired in Limitless. Screenshot and Restart code search.
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.
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 & Issues: Any disputes and issues should be resolved by the tournament official and should be backed by screenshots.
Stream Sniping: Players are allowed to stream their games. Steamers must use a delay to deter stream-sniping. 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
Emergency Break: One 5-minute emergency break is allowed in-between Top Cut rounds. To prevent abuse, no further emergency breaks will be permitted after it's used.
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.
- Do not be an ambidex - someone who joins but doesn't read any of the tournament details.
