Swiss Rounds: are Best of 1 with a time limit of 35 minutes with a Check In timer of 5 mins. Timers must be turned on when playing. Time extensions can be granted with judges discretion. Swiss Rounds are followed by Top 8 Cut.
It is the players responsibility to Check In prior to each match - failure to do so will result in an automatic Game Loss.
It is strongly recommended that you screenshot your victory screens Unless stated in the chat that your are leaving the game due to time/tie we will award the player with the victory screen the game.
Ties: occur when time runs out and a game still playing. If a game completes before time, but you are unable to enter the result before the timer ran out. Screenshot the game result and request a judge. They will determine based off the screenshot and check-in times if you completed the game before the timer ran out.
In-game issues: that include game freezing, internet issues, device crashing, or any issues that occur with the client, will have a Game Loss issued to the player. Otherwise attempt to finish the game.
Connection issues when starting the game: If the game disconnects BEFORE the first turn has been played, players will restart the game and attempt to reconnect. If the game disconnects during each players first turns, a "reset" will be made and a judge will walk the players through what to do. A time extension can be granted if needed.
Streaming: Players are allowed to stream their games. It is recommended to have a delay on your stream to avoid "stream sniping" Any advantages gained from streaming from any player can result in match loss. This includes taking play advice from your chat, seeing the opposing players hand, etc. Anything that allows for an unfair advantage. Players who stream their games in the official Tournament Discord will automatically receive a five minute extension to their game if streaming from the start of the round.
Any player who is found breaking rules, using game exploits, harassment, etc. will receive penalties and possible ban from all future events.
Any player who is intentionally slow playing will receive a game loss at the discretion of the judge. Please call a judge AS SOON AS POSSIBLE for slow play.
