For people who tried Pocket Aces Turbo Weekly and failed. This is the reject tournament for fun/practice.
Tournament Structure
Cards
- All cards allowed. Alternate art cards allowed.
- Players must use a single deck for the entire tournament.
Format
- Each round, players must check-in within 4 minutes or lose the match.
- A maximum of 2 minutes is allowed to resolve overtime. If unresolved, the match is declared a draw.
- Player count may be increased if more players register. Rounds will be altered based on number of players. This will be announced before Round 1 and will not change once the tournament has begun.
- Final 8 players play in a top cut bracket, where games start as soon as they can. This means players MUST watch the games feeding into theirs so you do not miss their match. A 5-10 minute delay in showing up to these matches will result in a loss. Judges may attempt to contact you on Discord if available.
Prizes
- A sense of pride and accomplishment.
- Respect and admiration of your peers.
- Roles on Discord for semi-finalists with an exclusive chat channel for past and future semi-finalists.
- Role on Discord for the Champion.
Conduct and Fair Play
- Failure to adhere to any of the rules may result in penalties, including game loss, disqualification or a ban from future tournaments.
Prohibited Actions
- Exploits and bugs, intentional stalling, harassment, abuse, insults, and/or disrespect toward opponents, staff, or the community.
Connection
- If the game does not start due to connection issues, players must retry.
- If the game results in a "turn 0 win", then try again. This is simply connection issues.
- If issues occur mid-game, the player with the victory screen wins.
- USE A UNIQUE PASSWORD. Preferably use a generated password, as using something common like "Poke1" will cause you match against randoms and really annoy the judges.
- If your in-game name does not match, TELL YOUR OPPONENT in Limitless prior to match start.
Disputes and Proof
- Players must take a timestamped screenshot of the victory screen that clearly show the opponent’s username.
- This is only needed if the match result is disputed (players often lie).
- Issues with opponent deck also requires screenshots.
- Submit evidence via Discord, preferably before calling a judge.
- If you're too slow to call a judge, the round may continue with the Limitless result as the tournament must keep moving.
