Decklist Submission

Decklists must be submitted through Limitless! Only the decklist you submit can be used during the tournament, and it will be your official deck for all games.

Note: If you notice your opponent using a different decklist, please contact a judge immediately.

---

Tournament Check-in

Check-in begins one hour before the tournament start time. Players who fail to check in will be dropped from the tournament.

---

Round Check-in

• Players have 5 minutes to check in at the start of each round.
• Only check in when you are ready to play.
• If your opponent does not connect within the 5-minute check-in window, you win by default. However, the match can be reset only if the player who wins by default agrees to reset the match.

---

Ties

• Matches can result in ties, worth 0 point each.
• If a round timer (40 minutes) concludes before a BO3 finishes, the match will automatically be a tie.

  Important: If the BO3 finishes on time but results cannot be submitted quickly: Call a judge immediately before the match ends, otherwise the match will be considered a tie even if it finishes within one minute after the time limit. If additional minutes are allowed in the tournament, this will be communicated through our Discord channel.

Connection Issues & Turn 0 Situations

Connection Issues

• If connection issues occur before the game starts, try to reconnect.
• If the issue occurs mid-game, the player with the Victory Screen wins.
• Always take a timestamped screenshot of your victory screen for dispute resolution.

Turn 0 Situations

• Bug: If the screen shows "Empty history", a bug has occurred. Neither player wins. Report the issue to the staff and upload a screenshot to the #judge-screenshots channel.
• Intentional Forfeit: If your opponent forfeits intentionally, the screen will show "Match forfeited." You win automatically. Take a screenshot and upload it to the #judge-screenshots channel for confirmation.

Streaming

Players are allowed to stream their matches, but:

• Enable a delay to prevent unfair advantages.
• Using stream information, such as seeing an opponent’s hand or receiving external advice, is strictly prohibited.
• Proven stream sniping will result in immediate disqualification.

---

Conduct and Rule Violations

Breaking rules, exploiting game bugs, or engaging in harassment or inappropriate behavior will result in penalties or disqualification.
Guidelines:

• Be respectful and polite to players and judges.
• Comply with judge instructions to avoid sanctions.

---

Name Errors

This rule prevents abuse of late claims and discourages toxic behavior. It ensures fairness by avoiding disputes meant to unfairly influence the tournament's outcome.

• A win by default due to an incorrect name must be claimed within the first turns of the game.
• If the match has already ended, a win by default cannot be claimed (applies to both BO1 and BO3).
• If the error is noticed starting from Game 2, no action will be taken.

Contacting Judges

Judges are available through Limitless or public Discord channels.

Avoid private messages for tournament-related queries.
