The Great Unlearning — 3 SWISS ROUNDS

• BO1
• Check-in 3 minutes because we thrive in chaos
• 20-minute rounds of adrenaline and regret
• Top 16 advance or 5 points which ever is greater.

Rise of the Unmeta — Top Cut

• BO3
• Single elimination bracket.
• No check-in
• If your opponent no-shows after 10 minutes, Game one is yours! After 15 minutes, you take it all!

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.
• No EX cards! Single point cards only!
• 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 3-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

• NO INTENTIONAL 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.
• If you tie game 3, play a 4th game, but the first to score a point wins.

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
• Forgot to claim? Congrats, you played yourself
