It’s important to carefully and completely read the Deck Guide. It is recommended that players save or download a copy for reference.

Each individual game within a best-of-3 match will be played in a different format:
Game 1: Tri Attack
Game 2: Rule of Two
Game 3: Back to Square One

DeckRules0

You must submit decklists in advance for all 3 formats. These decklists become public knowledge and cannot be changed once the event starts. You should double-check your decklists before submitting to be sure that you are in compliance with all rules.

Structure

  • Swiss Rounds; all matches are Best-of-3.
  • 3-Day Rounds. You must check in on Limitless and contact your opponent within the first 24 hours.
  • Match Win = 1 pts. // Match Loss (or incomplete) = 0 pts.
  • After the Swiss portion of the event, the Top 8 players will advance to a single-elimination playoff bracket.

Policies

Check-In Policy: Players are required to check in within the first 24 hours of each round. You are expected to check your dashboard regularly. Players that do not check in will receive a match loss and will be removed from the event if they do not make contact with the organizers before the end of the round.

Deck Sharing ON: The Deck List Sharing feature must always be turned ON in the game settings.

Match Timers ON: When you challenge your opponent you must always enable the Timed Match option.

Going First/Second: The winner of the coin flip decides who goes first for Game 1. For Games 2 & 3 in best-of-three matches, the loser of the prior game gets to decide who goes first. (In cases where the winner of the previous game wins the coin flip and selects the wrong option by accident, the opponent is entitled to request a restart of the affected game).

Wrong Deck Selected: If a player chooses the wrong deck by accident, they must declare so immediately before any actions are taken. If Deck Sharing is on, the opposing player should be able to verify that the deck was in fact incorrect and the game should be replayed. If any conditions above are not met, the result is a game loss.

Illegal Decklist: If a player is discovered to have submitted a deck that does not comply with the rules, they will be dropped from the event without exception. It is the player’s responsibility to submit a legal decklist in advance; no changes of any kind are allowed once the event has started.

Disconnections/Leaving a Game: In the event of a disconnect, the timer will continue to run while the player attempts to reconnect. If the game ends the match due to inactivity or a player leaves the game for any other reason, it is considered a game loss.

Incomplete Matches: At the end of a scheduled round, any incomplete matches will be automatically scored a double loss.

Need Help?: Please notify the organizer immediately if you have any concerns. Use the Request a Judge button here on Limitless or get in touch with @rabidragon on our league's Discord.
