⚖️ Tournament Conduct

Respect & Fair Play
All players must maintain respectful behavior. Toxicity, unsportsmanlike actions, or inappropriate usernames may result in removal from the event.

⸻

🎴 Deck Regulations

Your deck must match the list you submitted. Using an altered or incorrect decklist results in an automatic loss.

⸻

⏱️ Round 0 / Pre-Match Rules

Victories earned before the coin flip—or because your opponent isn’t online yet—are invalid.
Once the coin flip begins, the match officially counts.

⸻

🏆 Reporting Match Results

Always take a screenshot of the victory screen in case a dispute needs review.

⸻

🛑 Unfinished Matches

If a match is not completed by the end of the round timer, it is ruled as a tie, unless one player is clearly responsible for the delay.

⸻

🖥️ Connection Issues

If you disconnect due to the app or internet mid-game, it counts as a loss, unless it happens before the coin flip.

⸻

🐌 Slow Play

If one player’s in-game timer is more than 4 minutes behind the opponent’s, take a screenshot and report it. A win may be awarded to the other player.

⸻

🔑 Password Problems

Both players must agree on a shared password.

⸻

🫩 Late Check-In

Players are responsible for checking in on time.
Judges may assist only if both players agree to continue.
If a match starts without check-in, it may continue unless a judge decides to reset it.

🎥 Streaming
