📋 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
Ties and Intentional Draws (IDs) are not allowed in this tournament. All matches must have a winner.
If the round timer expires and the score is 0-0 or 1-1, the result is a tie, and both players will receive a tie on their record.
Screenshots of wins are strongly recommended for dispute resolution.
If a disconnect occurs, the win goes to the player who receives the Victory screen.
If the round timer ends but the match finishes within a reasonable time (to be determined by the judge), and a screenshot of the win is submitted to the Discord, the result may be overturned in favor of the winning player.
→ Take screenshots at the end of every match to avoid issues.
📺 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.
💬 COMMUNICATION & JUDGES
Use Limitless chat or our official Discord for all judge support and tournament communication.
Always be respectful when communicating. If your in-game name differs from your Limitless username, please clarify this when asking for help.
Judges are available throughout the event to handle rulings, disputes, and match issues.
The judges' decisions are final. All players are expected to respect and comply with their rulings at all times.
