Decklist Submission 🗂️ All players must submit their decklist through Limitless before the event begins. This will be the only decklist permitted for the entire tournament. 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 🎴

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 final two players only. ⸻

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 as well as if your opponent fails repeatedly searching. If the time passes 5 minutes after you've both checked in and are searching the player with the relevant screenshots wins (always show timestamps). 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.
