xPabsy Weekly Cup #1 - $20 Prize Pool

The xPabsy Cup is a weekly tournament organised by myself, xPabsy. You can catch my streams on My Twitch Channel. It is also encouraged that you join our discord server to keep up with tournament updates etc.

The tournament rules are as follows-:

• Check in for the tournament opens 1 hour beforehand. Players must ensure they check in before the tournament commences to avoid being dropped.

• Check-in for each round is 5 minutes. Failure to check in before the 5 minutes ends will result in an automatic loss, no exceptions. If your opponent has checked in but fails to respond or search for your game 5 minutes after checking in, call for a judge citing that your opponent has failed to play their game. A judge will give your opponent 2 minutes to respond. Failure to respond will result in a forfeit for the entire match. It is the responsibility of players to ensure they are capable of competing in their matches after checking in. Participation in other tournaments or loss of internet connection for example will not change the judge's decision. This is to ensure all matches are completed in a timely manner to avoid lengthy periods of waiting between rounds.

• Rounds will last for a total of 40 minutes and are BO3.

• Ensure that you have submitted your decklist before the tournament starts. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the deck requirements before submitting.

• If you enter your match with the incorrect deck, you risk forfeiting that round. It is vital that you ensure you are using the correct deck beforehand. In the event that an incorrect deck is used, both players can agree to replay the game. If there is any dispute, call a judge.

• All top cut matches will be also be BO3. Competitors are encouraged to stream their matches via discord or through their own streaming channels but it is not mandatory to do so. I'll likely look to spectate these games on my own stream.

• If competitors choose to stream their matches, it is at the risk of possible stream sniping. This is a difficult allegation to prove and therefore cannot be policed or punished, but it is strongly recommended not to. Let's keep some competitive integrity.

• If the outcome of any game of the BO3 results in a tie, that particular game should be replayed. For example, if the match is 1-1 and the 3rd game is a tie, the 3rd game should be replayed.

• I would ask that all competitors communicate in a civilised manner. Keep your conversations with opponents respectful. Anyone found be insulting or bullying another competitor will be pulled from the tournament instantly. This will be at the discretion of judges and their decision is final. In the event of these situations occurring, you can call a judge or provide information/screenshots in the relevant discord channel.

• It is encouraged to join the discord server to keep up with tournament updates and to submit screenshots in the event of an issue in the tournament.

• Rule breaking, using exploits or harassment of competitors or judges could result in a DQ.

• Prizes will be distributed via Paypal only. In the event that I somehow win the tournament (anyone that has seen me play will know this is unlikely lol), the prize will be added to the prize pool for the next tournament.

• Have fun and good luck!
