Important Guidelines

🔍 Team Sheet Discrepancies
Double-check your team sheet before the tournament begins:

  • If a team sheet error is discovered before the game starts, notify your opponent immediately and fix the issue.
  • If an error is found after the game begins, the player with the incorrect team sheet will receive a game loss for that match.

🔌 Disconnections
Try not getting skill diff'd by your internet provider. We recommend playing all games on Wired or very strong Wireless connection.

If a disconnection occurs:

  • Both players must screenshot the error code immediately.
  • Post the screenshots in the Discord and tag @animod. to dispute the claim.
  • If both error codes are missing, the match will be replayed.
  • If only one error code is missing, our judges will assess the situation and make a final decision.

🤝 Be Respectful
We’re all here to have fun! Any unsportsmanlike behavior, foul language, or insults are not cool and will result in a warning or even a ban.

⚖️ Issues? Need a Judge?
Use the "Request a judge" feature or ping in the Discord @animod. we’re here to make sure everything runs smoothly.
