HOW TO PLAY

• Matches are played on the Pokémon TCG Pocket application using the Private Match feature of the game.

• Make sure you have installed the most recent version of the game application - check for updates on the day of the event.

• This event is played live in one sitting. You will report your match results through the tournament dashboard - please keep it open for the duration of the event.

• It is recommended that all players take screenshots of their match victory screens.

DECK RULES

Standard format

All currently available Pokémon TCG Pocket cards are allowed.

You must submit a decklist prior to the start time. You will use that deck for the duration of the event.

STRUCTURE

Swiss System (BO1) | 15-Minute Rounds | 3-Minute Check-In Period

• Matches during this phase are Best-of-1 / Single Game.

• You will be paired with a new opponent each round.

  • A match win = 1 point.
  • Any other result (incomplete match, loss, or draw) = 0 pts.

• Once a new round is paired all players will have 15 minutes to complete their match with their opponent.

• You MUST click the yellow check in button within the first 3 minutes of the round. Then you should coordinate the match password with your opponent and begin gameplay immediately. Players who are late and/or non-responsive will receive a match loss.

• If a round is finished early, we will start the next round ahead of schedule - it's important to keep your dashboard open at all times during the event.

8 Players advance to Top Cut (BO3)

• Single-Elimination Bracket

• Matches during this phase are Best-of-3.

• Gameplay begins immediately after the Swiss phase; Top Cut players should check in within 5 minutes and complete their matches within 35 minutes.

TOURNAMENT POLICIES

Proof of Match Result: It is recommended that players take a screenshot of the victory details screen for each game. You should keep these until the end of the tournament in case there is a dispute. If two players disagree on the outcome of a game and neither has proof, it will be scored a double loss.

Connectivity Issues: It is our policy that each game that is started should count toward the match outcome. A game officially starts at the coin flip. If a player’s game becomes unresponsive due to internet or app issues, that player should accept the game loss. If players get an error during the initial match connection (before the coin flip), that game is not considered to have been started and you should try again with no impact to the match results.

Slowplay/Stalling: Players are expected to take actions at a reasonable pace. Intentionally slowplaying is considered an unsporting conduct and should be reported (with screenshots if possible).

Incomplete Matches: At the end of a scheduled round, any incomplete matches will be automatically scored a draw. This is equivalent to a double loss, so there is no benefit to either player in not completing the match on time.

Missed Check In: The check in process each round lets the organizers know who is here and ready to play. We remove players who do not appear active, so if you miss check in but intend to continue in the event please call a judge to let them know.

Dropping from the Event: If you no longer wish to play, please use the red "Drop" button on your dashboard so that you are not paired with an opponent in any future rounds. Thank you!

Family Friendly Community: We welcome players of all ages. You are expected to conduct yourself appropriately and keep discussions polite. Inappropriate content in the form of usernames, language used in chat, or in any other context is subject to removal from the event.

Need Help?: If you have any questions or concerns during the event, use the "Request a Judge" button here on Limitless or get in touch with @rabidragon on Discord.
