Just Do it! You already clicked three things today for worse reasons.

PHASE ONE — SWISS

Musical chairs with pixels.

• BO1
• Check-in 5 minutes because we thrive in chaos
• 20-minute rounds of adrenaline and regret

ROUND COUNT

• 35–64 → 5 rounds → Top 8
• 65–129 → 6 rounds → Top 16
• 130–230 → 7 rounds → Top 32
• 231–350 → 8 rounds → Top 32
• 351+ → 8 rounds → Top 64

More players = more rounds. Basic logic.

---

PHASE TWO — TOP CUT

Where people pretend to be calm.

• BO3
• Single elimination, like reality TV but more painful
• No check-in excuses
• Opponent missing? After 10 minutes, Game 1 is yours. After 15, the whole match is. Boom.

---

RULES

Yes, rules. You can’t just yell and click buttons forever.

---

DECKLISTS

• Opens day of the tournament. Better pretend you weren’t going to procrastinate.
• Must be submitted on Limitless. If that surprises you, I worry.
• Decks must only contain the cards you registered with. If you bring any others, fix it or lose it.
• Same deck list for the whole event. Commitment issues? Too bad.
• Opponent using a different list? Call a judge and enjoy the drama.
• Picked the wrong deck by accident? Flash a card, restart, pretend you’re fine.

---

TOURNAMENT CHECK-IN

• Opens 1 hour before the start.
• Fail to check in? You’re removed, but don’t worry, you can still crawl back in with a default loss.

---

ROUND CHECK-IN

• Each round has a 5-minute check-in window.
• Opponent disappears? Call a judge.
• Opponent is typing but not checking in? Nudge. If they still don’t check in, judge time.

---

TIES

• A tie = both players get a win
• If Game 1 ties, the next game decides it
• If Game 1 had a winner, and Game 2 ties, the Game 1 winner wins. Logical enough that it hurts.

---

CONNECTION + TURN 0

Tech fails. Deal with it.

• Game won’t start → restart
• Disconnect mid-game → Victory Screen decides it
• Blank history screen? Nobody wins; take a screenshot and go cry in judge-calls

---

JUDGES

Only summon them in Limitless chat. Think of them like very tired wizards.

• Screenshot Victory Screens
• Timestamp everything
• No proof? Congratulations: Double Game Loss

---

PAYOUT

Actual money through PayPal.

• Winners must message @uahawke within 48 hours or lose out forever
