  • If you notice your opponent using a different decklist, please call a judge.
  • If you accidentally select the wrong deck, you may reveal a card to prove the mistake and restart the game with the correct deck.
  • Players must submit the energy type being used for their deck list upon submission.

  • Tournament Check-in

    • Check-in and decklist submission opens 1 hour before the tournament starts.
    • Players who don’t check in will be removed from the tournament but may still register late (with a default loss).

    Round Check-in

    • Each round has a 5-minute check-in period.
    • If your opponent doesn’t show up within 5 minutes of both players checking in, please contact a judge.
    • If you’re chatting with your opponent and they haven’t checked in, kindly remind them. If they still don’t check in, call a judge.

    • Each round includes a 5-minute check-in window.

    Top Cut

    • Finals matches must be screen-shared on Discord for the YT Vod.

    Ties

    • If the 20-minute timer ends and the game is not finished, the match will be recorded as a draw.
    • If the BO1 is completed but the result isn’t submitted in time, call a judge and have a screenshot ready.
    • For complex situations or disputes, a judge will make a final ruling.

    Connection Issues & Turn 0 Situations
