🏔️🇨🇭Welcome to the Swiss Alpine League 🇨🇭🏔️

About the tournament rules..

The tournament structure is the following:

• 1st Phase: 7 Swiss Rounds BO1

Players with 10 or more points qualify for next round

• 2nd Phase (Top Cut): knockout stage BO3

Please note that the number of Swiss rounds is susceptible to change, depending on the number of the participants. Wins are 3 points, ties 1 point and losses 0 pts.

Intentional ties are allowed (also see below). Non-intentional ties in Swiss Rounds remain as they are and no tiebreakers will be played.
In case of a tie in Top Cut both players are awarded a win. This means that if a tie occurs on the second game, then the player who won game 1 advances to the next round. If a tie occurs on a game 3, then the game must be replayed.

There is no entrance fee. All our tournaments are free.

Follow us on Discord to see our Community Rules. Please use our Discord server for any judge call, challenge or dispute.

Players should always check their limitless chat and refresh the page frequently in case we need to contact them. For any issue please don’t hesitate to call a judge. Do not forget our Discord page as important announcements might pop up there!

Each round in Swiss Rounds is 18 minutes. Players must check in within 3 minutes. Top Cut requires no check in and games are played without timer. If a player remains inactive (in the knockout phase) and does not contact their opponent or the judges, they get a game loss for each 5 minutes of inactivity. Please call for a judge to evaluate the situation and mark the win for you.

Next round will start when all the games are over, without waiting for the timer to end. So, please, stay alerted in order to avoid missing rounds.

Check in is mandatory. If you miss check in your opponent gets they win unless they agree to play (but they’re not obliged to). If you chat with your opponent before the game and you miss check in please provide screenshots in the discord server with the game results.

Intentional Ties are allowed as long as both players verbally agree to it in the limitless chat. Is that’s the case, call a judge to validate the result.

If your opponent is intentionally slow playing you, please contact the staff. Some people need more time to think and that’s alright. But if a person is repeatedly waiting for the last seconds to end their turn they will be warned for slow playing. Please keep screenshots or videos of your game and especially the timer. If the in-game timer difference between players is more than 5 minutes, then the player who is being slow-played can claim the win.

Please make sure you have a good internet connection. If a connection error occurs on turn 0 (cards not dealt) then the game must be replayed. If the connection error occurs after the cards are dealt (turn 1), then the player with the victory screen gets the win. Please send screenshots on Discord.

To facilitate things, the language spoken in this tournament is English. Please translate your demands before typing them in the chat. This helps us win a lot of time with judge calls.
