Rules
Decklist Submission
Your decklist must be submitted on Limitless! This will be the only decklist allowed for the entire tournament. 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.
Swiss Rounds
- Swiss rounds are played as BO1 matches lasting 20 minutes.
- Each round includes a 5-minute check-in window.
Top Cut
- Top Cut is played in BO3 format.
- 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
- If the game fails to start, simply restart it.
- If a disconnect happens mid-game, the player with the Victory Screen will be awarded the win.
Contacting Judges
