📜 Housekeeping

• Join the discord to keep up to date with the event.
• If there’s an issue, ping a judge straight away (or let me know in stream)
• All matches are played on Pokémon TCG Live
• Decklists can not be changed once an event starts
• New cards are legal as soon as they can be registered on Limitless
• Any disconnect is considered a game loss unless it happens during check-in
• If the wrong deck is used, call a judge. If it’s the first turn the game can be restarted, the other player picks who starts
• Be mindful of the time, if time is called it’s an automatic tie. If you think your opponent is slow playing, call a judge and provide screenshots or stream proof BEFORE time is called
• Streaming is welcome and encouraged (Discord, Twitch, YouTube). Please use a delay if possible

🤝 Sportsmanship

• Poor sportsmanship or intentional slow play is never okay, it can result in disqualification or a ban from future events
• Please be mindful of time, yours and the opponents. There is 5 minute check-in, if all games in a round finish early the next round will start early.
