01 / COMPETITION DETAILS
DUAL-DECK TOURNAMENT INFORMATION
⏱ BEST-OF-ONE MATCHES
Each Swiss Round is Best of One (1) and is 20 minutes in duration. You will have 5 minutes to check in each round.
During SWISS ROUNDS, you must select and win with ONE of the decks you submitted.
During TOP CUT you must win with BOTH SUBMITTED DECKS to advance into the next round.
NOTE: After the first match, the Winner must switch deck, whilst the loser can decide to use the same deck or switch to their second deck.
🃏 DECKLISTS & ENERGY TYPES
You can only use the TWO UNIQUE DECKS that you've SUBMITTED on the Limitless TCG site as part of registration. Each deck CANNOT HAVE THE SAME POKEMON AS YOUR PREVIOUS DECK. Decks cannot be changed after the tournament has begun. Failure to comply will result in your disqualification from the tourney. Check your list, check it twice. Playing a card or deck that differs from your submitted list results in an automatic game loss.
🔔 CHECK-IN
Check-in opens 1 hour before the tournament starts.

Please respect your opponent’s time and the tournament schedule. You may call a judge if a player hasn’t shown up after 5 minutes.
