📜 Essential Rules & Match Policies

• Match Check-In: Players have 5 minutes to check in to their match table once pairings are posted. Failing to check in results in an automatic match loss.
• Match Disconnects & Bugs: In the event of a game crash, disconnect, or bug, take a screenshot or clip immediately. Submit a judge request on Limitless and ping @Judge in Discord. If a player disconnects and PTCGL awards the win in-game, the in-game result stands unless verifiable proof is provided.
• Match Proof: Winning players should take a screenshot of the victory screen at the end of each match in case of result disputes.

📲 Mandatory Discord Requirement

All participants MUST be present in the YLR TCG Discord Server for the duration of the tournament to receive judge calls, match announcements, and prize payouts.
