Rules

Decklist Submission

• Your decklist must be submitted on Limitless! This will be the only decklist allowed for the entire tournament.
• Your deck must contain the correct energy types selected.
• If you notice your opponent using a different decklist, please call a judge.
• If YOU accidentally select the wrong deck, take proof (screenshot or video) and you may reveal a card to prove the mistake and restart the game with the correct deck. This only applies to the FIRST GAME of a series, PRIOR to your 2nd turn, after which bringing the wrong deck will count as a game loss.
• Players must participate under the same username that entered upon submission.

Tournament Check-in

• Check-in and decklist submission opens 1 hour before the tournament starts.

---

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, with no communication, please contact a judge. Judge will give 2 MORE minutes for opponent to respond. If no response, that player will be given a loss.
• 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.
• Check-in overrides any action or decision by the Judge. Missing check-in is equivalent to losing the match. We understand it’s hard to accept a loss for this reason. In case of a bug preventing check-in, the player must report it to the judge as soon as possible. PENALTY: Loss due to missed Check-in / Double loss if both players miss Check-in.

• Next rounds start after ALL matches are completed and pairings are made.
• Rounds may start early if all games are completed.
• If your opponent doesn’t show up within 5 minutes of both players checking in, with no communication, please contact a judge. Judge will give 2 MORE minutes for opponent to respond. If no response, that player will be given a loss.
• If your match hasn't been played yet and your opponent is responding in the chat, but opponent hasn't been searching for the match and the timer drops to 10 min remaining, please request a judge. The opponent will be given a Loss for the match. No excuses. The tournament and other competitors shall not be held up.
