Notes

Proof of Match Results: Take a screenshot of the winning screen for each game in case of dispute. If turns played = 0, then the proof is considered invalid. Incomplete Matches: Matches not completed by the end of the round will be considered a double loss unless there is an error.

Turn 0 Dc. If it is awhite screen loss, it ends in a void game and must restart. If coin flip has occurred or concede for turn 0, screen shot win screen and turn history. If both players agree to void the game, it is fine, but if not, win goes to the player not disconnected and with the mentioned screen shots.

Connectivity Issues: Matches interrupted by application or internet issues will be considered a loss unless they fail to start before the coin toss (Turns played = 0).

Deck Violations: Using a deck different from the one sent will result in an automatic loss for that game. No Tolerance.

Intentional draw/tie:Intentional draws are okay as long as both parties agree. In such a case please request a judge and they will assist with the situation

Time Wasting: Stalling will result in disqualification. A time difference between moment of check in and playing of more than 5 minutes will be considered stalling.

Family Friendly Environment: Players must behave in a courteous manner. Inappropriate behavior or usernames will result in disqualification.

If there are obstacles or regulations that have not been set in the Tournament, then the absolute decision will be determined by the Organizer or Judge, and cannot be contested.

Ties: Pokémon Pocket has several ways to get ties, and you may have to call a judge to submit them(this is worth one point). However, games will also be counted as a tie if the round timer(45 minutes) concludes and players are currently 1-1 in the set. If the BO3 finishes before time is called, but user cannot submit in time, you may call a judge; however, you should have your screenshots ready! However, if the time concludes before the Bo3 finishes, the current score will be counted (1-0 is a win for the player who has a win in the set).

If you have registered, it means you agree to the Tournament rules.
