Hi folks, We are going to attempt running LN #194 tonight, despite the issues the client has been having. Twilight Masquerade is legal. A few notes:

• Please ensure you can connect to someone else prior to registering for the tournament. As this seems to be somewhat location-dependent, we ask that you please not register for the tournament if you are unable to complete a game with a friend after a few tries and restarts.
• Palafin-based decks (using Palafin TWM 060) are not permitted currently due to major game-breaking bugs. Please do not register a deck using that card.
• If you have connection issues, we will not be extending rounds. Players experiencing the 'connecting' bug will be asked to show a screenshot in #judge-screenshots. If a pair is unable to play, they will be given a tie; however, if a player repeatedly experiences this glitch every round we may ask you to drop - please understand this is not something we take lightly, and we know this is out of your control, but we want to give the best tournament experience possible to as many people as we can.
• If the issue seems to affect too large of a number of people, we reserve the right to cancel the tournament.

Please do test your connectivity and ability to start a game before you register - thanks!

These Standard events are brought to you by The Shuffle Squad, Late Night Events, and our amazing Sponsors. The Top 32 ranked players from this season of events will play in the Late Night Invitational with the opportunity to earn Ultimate Guard Prize Packs! Be sure to read all of the rules to avoid potential penalties. Best of luck!

You may need to restart PTCG Live after adding your opponent!

• Swiss Round BO1 matches are 30 minutes long with 5 mins of Check In per round
• Top Cut BO3 matches are untimed long with no Check In. If your opponent is inactive for more than 5 minutes, please call a judge, and we will likely issue a Game Loss to your opponent for inactivity.
• When time is called during Swiss Rounds BO1 the game will be a Tie, unless otherwise stated by Staff
• If you believe your opponent is "Playing Slowly", please call a Judge as early as possible. The only acceptable forms of proof are: streaming your game in the Late Night Events Discord Server or your opponent admitting to "Playing Slowly"
• If you experience any of the following, but not limited to: Game Freezing, Internet Issues, Server Issues, Game Lag, Software Glitch, Device Crashing - it will be awarded as a Game Loss to the player experiencing the issue if the game is unusable.
• All games must be reported on Limitless before time has been called for the round otherwise they will be a "Tie". You can concede to your opponent to give them the "Win", but if there isn't a recorded result before time is called, it will stay a "Tie"
• It is strongly recommended to have screenshot proof of any win or tie upon the conclusion of a game. If you leave a game without explicitly stating "time is over, this is a tie" or something similar, it could be perceived as a concession.
• Players are allowed to stream their personal event experience on any streaming service and it is recommended to have a delay on your stream to avoid "stream sniping" or any other disadvantages. Any advantages gained by streaming, such as receiving assistance from your audience, can lead to penalties after staff investigates the situation.
• It is the players responsibility to Check In prior to each match - failure to do so will result in an automatic Game Loss.
• If you aren't familiar with the Play Limitless website or need additional information, please read the Help Page
• All cards are considered "legal for play" the day they are released online / are available in game. If the Limitless website doesn't recognize the card yet, it isn't "legal for play"

Our Sponsors have graciously provided the following prizing for this event regardless of the event size:

• 1st - 20 PTCG Codes from PTCGL Store
• 2nd - 20 PTCG Codes from PTCGL Store
• Top 4 - 10 PTCG Codes from PTCGL Store
• Top 8 - 10 PTCG Codes from PTCGL Store

Additionally, if there is a Phase 2 Swiss 227 or more players before the event starts, the prizing will be upgraded to this:

• 1st - 20 PTCG Codes from PTCGL Store
• 2nd - 20 PTCG Codes from PTCGL Store
• Top 4 - 20 PTCG Codes from PTCGL Store
• Top 8 - 10 PTCG Codes from PTCGL Store
• Top 16 - 10 PTCG Codes from PTCGL Store

Note that we allow entrants to enter late into our events, and that can sometimes lead to events that start with ~200 players, and eventually gather over 227 participants. Events need to have 227 players fully registered with a decklist before the event starts to trigger the Phase 2 Swiss. Prizing will be based on the event start number.

If you have earned prizing at this event, code prizing will be sent out shortly after the event ends via Limitless Rewards here: https://play.limitlesstcg.com/user/history/rewards.
