Tournament Rules & Responsibilities

Check-In Requirement:
Players must check in before each match. Failure to do so will result in an automatic game loss. If your opponent wishes to reset the match, they must call a Judge in Limitless.

Intentional Draws:
Players may agree to a draw, but a Judge must be called to officially issue it.

Time Expiry & Slow Play:
When time is called, the match will end in a tie unless a result has been recorded.
If you believe your opponent is playing too slowly, call a Judge as early as possible.
Acceptable proof includes video clips, full streams of the match, or your opponent’s direct admission.
You may concede to give your opponent the win, but if no result is recorded before time is called, it will remain a tie.
To avoid disputes, take a screenshot of the final result at the conclusion of the match.
If you leave the game without explicitly stating "Time is over, this is a tie" or something similar, it may be considered a concession.

Deck & Match Setup:
Ensure your deck is set to active before the tournament begins. Using the wrong deck will result in a game loss.

Streaming Guidelines:
Players are permitted to stream their tournament matches on any streaming platform.
To prevent unfair play, it is strongly recommended to enable a stream delay to avoid “stream sniping” or other potential disadvantages. Gaining an unfair advantage through streaming, such as receiving assistance from viewers, may result in penalties after an official investigation by the tournament staff.

Technical Issues:
If a player experiences game freezing, internet issues, server problems, lag, glitches, or device crashes, and the game becomes unplayable, it will be considered a game loss for the affected player.
Again, screenshot proof of any match result is strongly recommended.

Disputes & Match Issues:
Any disputes or problems during your match must be handled by Tournament Staff.
Use the Call Judge button in Limitless to report issues.
Always screenshot the result for backup in case facing an unethical player.

Inappropriate Behavior & Conduct:
Players who engage in rule violations, in-game exploits, bullying, harassment, or any other inappropriate behavior will face escalating penalties:
Warning
Removal from the tournament
Full ban from the tournament series
Additionally, players who exhibit problematic behavior outside of this event (before, during, or after the tournament) may be deemed ineligible to participate.
