Rounds

• The next round will begin when everyone has finished all of their matches or when the timer runs out with a 3 minute buffer, whichever one comes first. Any matches that don't get finished will receive a tie.

Top Cut

• You will have 5 mins to get to your rooms. Failure to do so will result in a game loss.

Disconnections

• If no one Pokemon has fainted on either team and a player disconnects due to the game or their internet connection, the game will be a replay. If such a thing happens after at least one Pokemon has fainted, the disconnected player will receive a game loss.

Ties

• If both players agree and a judge call is made, it will be a tie.
• Other ties are governed by the other rules.

Late Check Ins

• If you are late to checking into your match, you will receive a match loss, no exceptions.

Sportsmanship

Please do not do the following:

• Curse out your opponent;
• Use of slurs at all;
• Cheating during the tournament;
• Using NSFW in game names;
• Being rude to any TO or Staff; or
• Intentionally delaying a game.

Doing any of those will result in a forfeit from the match, the set, or the entire tournament or will result you in a ban from the tourney or the server as a whole.
