🏆 Championship Structure
3 Rounds of Swiss → Semifinals → Finals
- Best of 3 matches
- 70 minute rounds
- Ties allowed in Swiss
Every player completes three rounds before elimination.
So no one gets knocked out from a single bad matchup.
⏱ Time, Ties & Round Procedure
All rounds are Best of 3 with a 70-minute time limit.
If all games in a round finish the next round may begin early and will be announced on stream & in Discord.
The official round timer displayed on Limitless is the governing time source for the event.
When Time Expires
- When the Limitless timer reaches 0:00, the match is considered complete.
- If a game is still in progress at that time, the match may result in a tie during Swiss
- Additional time may be granted if the match is being streamed or at a judges discretion.
- Players must report results immediately once the match concludes.
If a game completes within two minutes after time expires but the result cannot be entered before the timer closes, both players should screenshot the result and request a judge. The judge will determine whether the result stands based on timing and match context.
🟰 Ties
Ties occur when the round timer expires and no match winner has been determined.
Ties are permitted in Swiss rounds only.
Top Cut matches cannot end in a tie.
If time expires in Top Cut and no winner has been determined, play will continue until a match winner is decided.
All final rulings regarding time and match outcomes are at the discretion of the judge.
⏳ Time Extensions
Time extensions may be granted at the discretion of a judge in cases including but not limited to:
- Technical issues
- Client freezing
- Judge investigations
- Disconnect resolution
Extensions are not guaranteed and will be applied only when appropriate.
🌐 In-Game Issues & Disconnects
If a disconnect, freeze, crash, or client issue occurs, players must immediately call a judge.
Rulings will be made at the discretion of the judge based on:
- Game state
- Number of turns played
- Competitive integrity
If a disconnect occurs before or during the first two turns, players may be instructed to restart the match under judge supervision.
📸 Match Proof
It is strongly recommended that players screenshot their victory screen.
Unless both players confirm a tie or time-based exit in chat, the victory screen will be used as the determining result.
🎥 Streaming & Coverage
You may stream your matches on any platform.
A stream delay is strongly recommended.
Receiving outside assistance may result in penalties.

Play at a reasonable pace.

Intentional slow play is not tolerated.
If slow play is suspected, call a judge immediately.
