Decklist Submission 🗂️

  • All players must submit their decklist through Limitless before the event begins.

  • If you notice your opponent using a deck that doesn’t match their submission, please call a judge immediately.

Tournament Check-In 🕓

  • Check-in and decklist submission open 1 hour before the tournament starts.
  • Players who do not check in will be removed automatically, but may still register late (starting with a default loss).

Round Check-In 🔁

  • Each round includes a 5 minute check-in window.
  • If your opponent does not appear within 5 minutes after both players have checked in, contact a judge.
  • If you are chatting with your opponent and they haven’t checked in yet, please remind them politely.
  • If they still do not check in, call a judge.

Swiss Rounds 🎴

  • STREAMING IS MANDATORY ON DISCORD
  • Swiss rounds will be played as Best-of-1 (BO1) with a 20-minute timer.
  • Each round begins with a 5-minute check-in window before games start. One player has to be streaming

Top Cut 🏆

  • Top Cut matches are also BO3.
  • All Top Cut matches require screen sharing for stream coverage.

Ties & Timeout Situations ⏳

  • If the game ties in a BO1 then it is concluded in a tie and both players get 1 point.
  • If a game ties in a BO3 then the game will be replayed
  • If the BO1 concludes but the result isn’t submitted in time, contact a judge and provide a screenshot.
  • Judges will resolve complex situations at their discretion.

Connection Issues & Game Errors 💻

  • If a game fails to load, simply restart it. • If a disconnect happens mid-game, the player who receives the Victory Screen is awarded the win.
  • If you encounter a blank game history, no one wins. Take a screenshot and report it in the judge-request channel.

Contacting Judges ⚖️

  • Use the Limitless chat to request a judge at any time or discord.
  • Always take a timestamped screenshot of your Victory Screen as proof.
  • If neither player has valid evidence during a dispute, the match will be ruled as a Double Game Loss (DGL).

Conduct & Penalties 🚫

  • Harassment, rule-breaking, cheating, or poor behavior will result in penalties or removal.
  • Players must maintain respect toward opponents and judges at all time

Tie Rules 🤝

  • You are ONLY allowed to tie (on purpose) in the very LAST round of the swiss rounds in order to avoid abuse.
