📚STRUCTURE 📚

The tournament structure is the following:

• 1st Phase: 5 Swiss Rounds BO1

Players with 7 or more points qualify to the next round

• 2nd Phase (Top Cut): Single-elimination bracket BO3

Please note that the number of Swiss rounds is susceptible to change, depending on the number of the participants. Wins are rewarded 3 points, ties 1 point and losses 0 pts.

👔👔 TIES 👔👔

• Intentional Ties are allowed as long as both players verbally agree to it in the limitless chat. Is that’s the case, call a judge to validate the result.

• Non-intentional ties in Swiss Rounds remain as they are and no tiebreakers will be played.

• In case of a tie in Top Cut both players are awarded a win. This means that if a tie occurs on the second game, then the player who won game 1 advances to the next round. If a tie occurs on a game 3, then the game must be replayed.

👨🏻‍⚖️⚖️ JUDGE CALLS

Please use the limitless chat to call for a judge. If needed, be ready to provide evidence in the dedicated “judge calls” channel on our discord. It is important to keep screenshots of your wins as it’s the only thing that can help us help you in case of a dispute.

Players should always check their limitless chat and refresh the page frequently, as judges might be trying to contact them.

Staff members’ work may be charged, especially during bigger events. Please be patient and make sure that your issue is not covered by the tournament details before asking for a judge. In the rare case where there is no response within 3 minutes, you can ping us on the Discord server.

🚧🚧 STRUCTURE DETAILS 🚧🚧

Each round in Swiss Rounds is 18 minutes. Players must check in within 3 minutes. New rounds will start as soon as all the games are finished, without waiting for the timer to end, so stay alert!

Check in is mandatory in swiss rounds. If you miss check in your opponent gets they win unless they agree to play (but they’re not obliged to). If you chat with your opponent before the game and you miss check in please provide screenshots in the discord server with the game results.

Top Cut requires no check-in and games are played without timer. If a player remains inactive (in the knockout phase) and does not contact their opponent or the judges, they get a game loss for each 5 minutes of inactivity. Please call for a judge to evaluate the situation and mark the win for you.

😎 BE A FAIR PLAYER.. 😎

Honest mistakes can happen.. If you accidentally choose the wrong decklist, then send a screenshot that proves sufficiently your error and then start the game again. If you make another similar mistake again in the same game, then the victory goes to your opponent.

🐌 INTENTIONAL SLOW PLAYING 🐌

If your opponent is intentionally slow-playing you, please contact the staff. Some people need more time to think and that’s alright. But if a person is repeatedly waiting for the last seconds to end their turn, then they will be warned for slow playing. Please keep screenshots or videos of your game and especially the timer. If the in-game timer difference between players is more than 6 minutes, then the player who is being slow-played can claim the win.

📡📡 DISCONNECTION ISSUES AND TURN 0 WINS 🛜🛜

Please make sure you have a good internet connection. If a connection error occurs on turn 0 (cards not dealt) then the game must be replayed. If the connection error occurs after the cards are dealt (turn 1), then the player with the victory screen gets the win. Please send screenshots on Discord.
