🗂️ Registration & Check-In
- Decklist Submission: All players must submit their decklist through Limitless before the event begins. This is the only decklist permitted for the entire tournament. If your opponent's deck does not match their submission, 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 (late registration starts with a default loss).
- Round Check-In: Each round has a 5-minute check-in window. If your opponent does not appear 5 minutes after both players have checked in, call a judge. If you are chatting with an opponent who hasn't checked in, remind them politely—then call a judge if they still fail to check in.

⚖️ Rules & Dispute Resolution (FAQ)
⏳ What happens during Ties & Timeouts?
If a BO1 times out, it is concluded in a tie and both players get 1 point. If a BO3 ties, 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.
🤝 Can I intentionally tie with my opponent?
You are ONLY allowed to tie (on purpose) in the very LAST round of the Swiss rounds in order to avoid abuse.
💻 What if I get a disconnect or game error?
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.
⚖️ How do I contact a Judge during a dispute?
Use the Limitless chat to request a judge at any time, or use 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).
🚫 What are the rules on conduct and penalties?
Harassment, rule-breaking, cheating, or poor behavior will result in penalties or removal. Players must maintain respect toward opponents and judges at all times.
