Bannable Actions

• Asking your opponent to Concede or for an intentional Draw
• Trying to Bribe, coerce, or otherwise pressure your opponent into any match results
• Trying to decide the results of a match through random means (e.g., by coin flip or dice roll) or through any other choosing methods)
• Using information outside of the current game or match (including taking illegal game actions to access additional information) to decide the results of the match

Any attempt at match-fixing or artificially determining the final standings of a tournament is considered a severe violation of Play! Pokémon standards and tournament integrity

Penalties

• Caution – The most basic of assigned penalties; this is verbal
• Warning – A reported penalty that denotes a minor penalty; similar to Caution.
• Game Loss – Applied when a mistake severely impacts the integrity of the game state. The game is recorded as a loss for the competitor receiving the penalty. In extreme cases where significant errors have been made by both competitors in a game, a Game Loss penalty may be issued to both competitors simultaneously.
• Match Loss – More severe than a Game Loss, applied when an action impacts the integrity of the entire match. The match immediately ends and is recorded as a loss for the offending competitor. In extreme cases where significant errors have been made by both competitors in a match, a Match Loss penalty may be issued to both competitors simultaneously.
• Disqualification – The most severe penalty, applied when a competitor’s actions significantly and negatively impact the integrity of the entire event. The offending competitor’s match ends immediately, they are removed from the tournament standings, and they become ineligible to receive prizes. This can result in removal from the event.
