🔱Imperium Series 🔱 - 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.
Tournament Check-in ⏰
- Check-in open 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 BO3 matches lasting 40 minutes.
- Each round includes a 5-minute check-in window.
🏆 Top Cut
- Top Cut is also played in BO3 format.
- All Top Cut matches must be screen-shared for stream coverage.
Ties 🤝
- If the 40-minute timer ends and the score is 1-1, the match will be recorded as a draw.
- If the BO3 is completed but the result isn’t submitted in time, call a judge and have a screenshot ready.
- If the match ends 1-0 when the timer runs out, the player with one win will be declared the winner.
- 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.
- If you encounter a “blank history”, no player wins. Take a screenshot and report it in the #judge-request channel.
Contacting Judges 🧑⚖️
- Please use the Limitless chat only to contact judges.
- Always take a screenshot of your Victory Screen with a timestamp.
- If neither player has sufficient proof in a dispute, the match will be marked as a DGL (Double Game Loss).
