📋 Decklist Submission
• All decklists must be submitted via Limitless.
• You may only use your submitted decklist for all rounds.
• If your opponent is not using their submitted deck, call a judge.
⚖️ Sportsmanship & Rules
• Rule sharking is NOT allowed. Be cool.
• Don't nitpick minor differences like similar names or alt art cards.
• Be respectful to opponents, staff, and stream viewers—everywhere.
• Disrespect, harassment, or toxicity = DQ.
⏰ Check-In
• Tournament check-in opens 1 hour before start time.
• You must check in on Limitless or risk being dropped.
• For each round: Check in during the first 5 minutes.
• If your opponent doesn't show within 5 minutes of both players checking in, call a judge.
• Do not delay your games after checking in. If you're more than 5 minutes late, it's a game loss.
🤝 Ties & IDs
• Pocket allows ties. If both players agree to an Intentional Draw (ID), a judge must confirm.
• If the round timer ends and the match is 1-1, it's a draw.
• Screenshots of wins are strongly recommended for disputes.
• If you're mid-match and disconnected, the player with the Victory screen gets the win.
📺 Streaming & Conduct
• Players may stream, but stream sniping = DQ. Use a delay.
• Any form of cheating, exploit abuse, or misconduct = immediate disqualification.
• If you are banned from the__SAGA's stream, you will be DQ’d from the tournament.
💬 Judges & Communication
• Use Limitless chat or public Discord channels for judge communication.
• Be polite. You may appeal rulings, but always respectfully.
• You must use a unique room code and tell your opponent your in-game name if it differs from your Limitless name.
