To all Competitors,

It is our pleasure to welcome you to the Power⚡League Pokémon TCG Pocket Tournament.
As we prepare for the upcoming matches, we ask that you carefully review the following essential guidelines to ensure a seamless and competitive experience for all participants.

Communication & Updates
To maintain real-time transparency, all official announcements—including judge rulings, match updates, and scheduling adjustments—will be posted exclusively within the (Tournament) category on our Discord server.

Active participation in the server is essential for staying informed on critical tournament developments. We look forward to seeing your strategies in the brackets and wish you the best of luck in the competition.

🏆Swiss Rounds & Top Cut Advancement

We adapt based on turnout to deliver the best possible experience:

(We'll confirm the exact format once registration closes — announced in #tournament-announcement.)

Scoring: (same for all brackets)

• Win = 3 points

• Draw = 1 point

  • Loss = 0 points

⚠️ Important Note – The next round begins only once all matches in the current round have been completed. It is not based on the timer. Any delays or schedule changes will be announced on our Discord server. Please join our Discord server to stay informed.

The top cut is a single-elimination bracket consisting of Best-of-3 (Bo3) matches. The exact number of players advancing (e.g., Top 4, Top 8, etc.) will be displayed above.

Note: Tie Gamerules.

•Bo1 (Sudden Death): In the event of a tie, a sudden death game is played. The first player to score a point wins.

•Bo3: If Game 1 ends in a tie, both players receive 1 win each. If the opponent wins Game 2, they win the match (Game 3 is not played in this scenario).

⚖️ Tournament Policies

• Respect & Fair Play:
  All participants must remain respectful at all times. Toxic behavior, harassment, or offensive usernames will result in immediate removal from the tournament

• Deck Rules:
  Players must use the deck that exactly matches their submitted deck list. Using a different deck will result in an automatic loss.

• Round 0 Wins:
  Wins registered before the official coin flip or if the opponent is not online are not valid. Once the coin flip has begun, the match is considered valid.

• Match Results:
  In case of a dispute, players must provide a screenshot of the victory screen that clearly shows the timestamp.

• Incomplete Matches:
  If a match is not finished by the end of the round, it is not considered a tie. Staff will provide up to 3 additional minutes to determine a winner.

• Connection Issues:
  If a player disconnects due to app or internet issues, it results in a loss unless the disconnection occurs before the coin flip.

• Slow Play:
  If the time difference between players exceeds 5 minutes, please take a screenshot and report it on Discord. The affected player may then claim a win.

• Password Problems:
  If the provided password does not work, both players must mutually agree on a new one.

• Late Check-In:
  If you miss check-in, it's your responsibility. A judge can help only if your opponent agrees to continue. If a match starts without check-in, it can still continue. Judges may reset it if needed. You have 5 minutes from Top cut to respond to your opponent. Failure to do so allows your opponent to claim the first game win.

• Intentional Tie:
  To preserve the integrity of the Swiss progression in earlier rounds, intentional draws are not allowed until the final swiss round, at which both players may agree to a draw.

• Calling a Judge:
  Judges make fair calls based on rules. If both players solve the issue, no judge is needed.
