Get ready to play

1. Register now and submit your team sheet. Registration and team submission are open now and close when the tournament starts. Your Pokémon, forms, abilities, moves and held items must be legal in Regulation Set M-C, and your sheet must match the team you use.
2. Check in for the tournament. Check-in opens one hour before the listed start time. Submit your sheet and check in before Round 1 begins.
3. Be ready for every match. In Swiss, use Limitless match check-in within the first seven minutes of the round. In the top-cut bracket, post in your Limitless match chat within seven minutes of your pairing being announced; the organizer handles this deadline manually. Match check-in is separate from tournament check-in.

During your set

Use Limitless match chat to contact your opponent, then report your set result on the match page. For a disconnect, team-sheet problem or unfinished set, use Request a judge so the organizer can help. Top-cut bracket matches have no automatic timer or check-in on Limitless. The organizer tracks the 60-minute match limit and seven-minute arrival deadline manually.
