🔱Imperium Tournament 🔱 - Rules📜
Teamlist Submission 📝
- Your teamlist must be submitted on Limitless! This will be the only teamlist allowed for the entire tournament.
- If you notice your opponent using a different teamlist, please call a judge.
- If you accidentally select the wrong team, you may reveal a card to prove the mistake and restart the game with the correct deck.
Tournament Check-in ⏰
- Check-in open 1 hour before the tournament starts.
- Players who don’t check in will be removed from the tournament but may still register late (with a default loss).
Round Check-in 🔄
- Each round has a 5-minute check-in period.
- If your opponent doesn’t show up within 5 minutes of both players checking in, please contact a judge.
- If you’re chatting with your opponent and they haven’t checked in, kindly remind them. If they still don’t check in, call a judge.
- Writing a message in limitless chat within 5 minutes after the beginning of the round is equivalent to check in
Swiss Rounds 🔀
- Swiss rounds are played as BO1 matches lasting 20 minutes.
- Each round includes a 5-minute check-in window.
🏆 Top Cut
- Top Cut played in BO3 format.
Ties 🤝
- If the 20-minute timer ends and the score is 0-0, the match will be recorded as a draw.
- If the BO1 is completed but the result isn’t submitted in time, call a judge and have a screenshot ready.
- For complex situations or disputes, a judge will make a final ruling.
Connection Issues & Turn 0 Situations 🌐
- If the game fails to start, simply restart it.
- If a disconnect happens mid-game, the player with the Victory Screen will be awarded the win.
- If you encounter a “blank history”, no player wins. Take a screenshot and report it in the #judge-request channel.
Contacting Judges 🧑⚖️
- Please use the Limitless chat only to contact judges.
- Always take a screenshot of your Victory Screen with a timestamp.
- If neither player has sufficient proof in a dispute, the match will be marked as a DGL (Double Game Loss).
Conduct and Rule Violations 🚨
- Breaking rules, harassment, or any inappropriate behavior will result in penalties.
- Please be respectful to other players and judges at all times.
