TOURNAMENT STRUCTURE

This tournament is played live in one sitting and is expected to last approximately 3 hours. Click here for the schedule.

PHASE 1: Swiss Rounds

• Best-of-1: You'll play a single game against your opponent.
• Rounds are 25 minutes long (any incomplete games will be scored a draw)
• You must check in within the first 3 minutes of the round.
• Wins are worth 1 pt; a draw/loss is worth 0 pts.

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. Thank you!

Following the conclusion of this phase, the top 4 players in the Standings will immediately advance to Top Cut...

PHASE 2: Top Cut

• Single Elimination, Best-of-1: You'll play a single game against your opponent. The winner advances; the loser is eliminated.
• Extensions are available during this phase, so if time runs out you should continue to play at a reasonable pace to complete the match (unless instructed otherwise by judge).

TOURNAMENT POLICIES

Proof of Match Result: It is recommended that players take a screenshot of the victory 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.

Match Timers ON: Match timers must be enabled. When you challenge your opponent, do NOT check the "Turn Off Timers" option.

Check In Policy: CHECK IN is required for each individual round. If you are not present and communicating with your opponent within the first 3 minutes, you'll receive the game loss. In an effort to ensure as many players as possible are paired with active opponents, those who fail to check in with no sign of being present may be dropped without warning. If you miss the start of a round by accident but still intend to play in future rounds, it's your responsibility to contact the organizer/judge and make them aware that you wish to continue in the event.

Connectivity Issues: It is league policy that each game that is initiated should count toward the match outcome. Some unfortunate situations may arise where a player’s game becomes unresponsive due to internet or app issues. In those cases, that player should accept the game loss.

Slowplay/Stalling: Players are expected to take actions at a reasonable pace. It is not allowed to purposely waste time by repeatedly running down the timer or doing actions that don't impact the game state. 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 game on time.

Illegal Decklist: If a player submits a deck that does not comply with the rules, they will be dropped from the event. There are no changes to decklists once the event has started.

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.
