  • Your decklist must be submitted on Limitless! This will be the only decklist allowed for the entire tournament.
  • If you notice your opponent using a different decklist, please call a judge.
  • If you accidentally select the wrong deck, you may reveal a card to prove the mistake and restart the game with the correct deck. This only applies to the first game of a series, after which bringing the wrong deck will count as a game loss.
  • Players must submit the energy type being used for their deck list upon submission.
  • Players must participate under the same username that entered upon submission.

Tournament Check-in

Round Check-in

  • Each round has a 5-minute check-in period.
  • If your opponent doesn’t show up within 5 minutes of both players checking in, please contact a judge.

  • Finals matches must be screen-shared on Discord for the YT Vod.

Ties

  • If the 45-minute timer ends and the score is 1-1, the match will be recorded as a draw.
  • If the BO3 is completed but the result isn’t submitted in time, call a judge and have a screenshot ready.

  • For complex situations or disputes, a judge will make a final ruling.
