• If you miss Check In under any circumstance, you will be awarded a Full Match Loss for your round.
• List submission closes approximately at 6:00PM Eastern
• This event has multiple Phases - Swiss Rounds BO1 and Top Cut BO3
• When time is called during Swiss Rounds BO1 the game will be a Tie, unless otherwise stated by Staff
• When time is called during Top Cut BO3 the winner will be decided by the amount of remaining Prize Cards + Games Won to determine the winner, unless otherwise stated by Staff
• If time is called it is a Tie!! If you believe your opponent is "Playing Slowly", please call a Judge as early as possible. The only acceptable forms of proof are: a video recording, a link to your Stream, streaming your game in the Zach Lesage Discord Server, your opponent admitting to "Playing Slowly."
• If you Check In to your event and don't immediately play (for any circumstance), you will receive a Match Loss 2 mins after Check In time has ended. If you are in a Best of Three game and are inactive for 3 mins (for any reason) in between games it will be a Game Loss. Please stay in contact via the Limitless Match Chat.
• If you select a wrong deck , you must provide a screenshot with the following to staff: your hand and Active Pokémon flipped over. Call a Judge on Limitless , type in chat that you selected your wrong deck, and wait. If you have made any other actions in game - it will be an automatic Game Loss . If the right conditions are met, Staff will tell you to restart the game. If there are less than 20 mins left in the round for Swiss it will be an automatic Game Loss . If you choose the wrong deck in Best of Three it will be an automatic Game Loss .
• 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 that is. Otherwise attempt to finish the game if possible.
• If you call a judge to dispute a result, for example you Won, but it shows up as a Tie, please send screenshot proof or a link to your livestream to ZachLesage#3773 on Discord. If you don't have reasonable proof within a reasonable amount of time, the staff won't be able to determine the proper measures to take.
• 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 event run 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.
• Continuously accusing your opponent of anything can lead to penalties - PLEASE be kind to all your opponents.
• All rulings made by Staff are final and will be made with the players, Staff, and event in mind.
• It is the players responsibility to Check In prior to each match - failure to do so will result in an automatic Game Loss
• Issues and problems during your match will be handled by Tournament Staff - please use the Match Dispute button
• All participants are recommended to be in our Discord Server for updates on pairings, event announcements, etc.
• Zach Lesage Events follow the Official Pokémon Rules
• The list of Known Issues and Compendium Rulings will be used to determine in-game rulings.
