Judge Call Info/Rules:

ALWAYS take a screenshot of your victory screen in case of a dispute.

Please keep communication with your opponent on Limitless. Make an effort at clear and concise communication. This shows us you made an effort with time stamps as proof if any issue arises.

Please use the judge call feature in Limitless FIRST, BEFORE posting in the discord. This gives us accurate time stamps for rulings, even if we don't respond right away.

Significant delays (more than 5 minutes) caused by a single player in starting a match will result in no ties at time and instead the offending player will be given a game loss at time (please call a judge at time). You have 5 minutes to check in and we expect all matches to have begun by 20:00. IRL Tournaments give you a 50 minute timer for 3 matches. We want to encourage everyone to actually try to play their match.

PTCGL Crashes/Freezes, etc is a LOSS

Decklist Errors During An ACTIVE Game is a LOSS. Please provide a screenshot as proof of the decklist error.

If you have selected the wrong deck at the beginning of the game and it is caught before turns are taken and we are still within the check in time the game can be reset and a warning will be issued. After the check in time you may reset the game but in the event the match goes to time and results in a tie we will award the win to the opponent. Please call a judge at time.

We cannot do anything about PTCGL Bugs.

Slowplay calls are up to opinion and nothing is confirmed or promised. We request if you suspect slow play to please call with at least 5 minutes left on your timer so we have time to review and make informed calls. You will need to provide a screenshot, video clip or live stream (preferred) for us to make a ruling. All complaints of slow play will be noted.

If you call a judge with no explanation or description of the problem your request will be cleared.

Unsportsmanlike conduct is not permitted or accepted. Based on the severity you may be issued a warning. In extreme cases we reserve the right to issue a game loss and/or remove you from the tournament as well as ban you from future tournaments.

Post your screenshots for judges in #judge-calls in The Smart Cafe discord. If you do not see this channel you will need to give yourself the Smart Series role. Screenshots posted elsewhere may get lost.

PLEASE DO NOT PASTE YOUR GAME LOG! It is entirely too much for us to go through to look for the issue.

If your opponent is in the chat and actively communicating with you but does not show checked in you may need to refresh your page. Only call a judge if you cannot check in.

If your opponent does not check in on time you do not need to call a judge; Limitless will automatically award you the win.

At time you do not need to call a judge unless instructed otherwise for a prior ruling. At time, if no result has been recorded, Limitless will automatically record a tie for both players.

If you accidentally click the wrong result you can click it again yourself to remove it and report it correctly. There is no need to call a judge to change the result unless there is a dispute.

If you and your opponent agree to an ID you will need to call a judge to record the draw.
