General

The following are Cardfight tournament rules in addition to guidelines that may be helpful for all players. These rules are subject to change if necessary, and Gamers.com.mt administrators reserve the right to make additional decisions outside the defined ruleset if necessary. If any changes are made, all relevant parties will be notified.

  • Discord channel: discord.gg/PVBjCTv . All communication with admins and players must go through the discord channel. Your nickname in discord MUST be your Battletag. If you are having trouble with discord and you are not able to reach an admin, you must report to the admins via Messenger as soon as possible.
  • The tournament admins are the Gamers.com.mt community managers. They will have the last word in all situations. The decisions taken by the referees shall be binding upon all players. The admins reserve the right to, at any time, remove or change the rules in this document, even during a tournament. All players are encouraged to read all the rules regularly.
     
  • By joining this tournament, all players agree to the rules provided in this page. Where a rule is not clear or there is some question about its application, the administrators have the final say in all matters. Their decision will be taken as final in all matters.
     
  • All participants MUST be in the Gamers.com.mt Discord channel, meaning they must be in the Discord channel during their matches. There will be no exceptions to this rule. Proof of presence of all players will be checked.
     
  • The tournament will use a double-elimination bracket. All matches will be best of 3, so to win a match, a player must win two matches against two of his or her opponent's different classes.
     
  • The tournament format will be Standard Format.
     
  • If a player submits a Wild deck (a deck including cards from older expansions than Journey to Un'Goro), it will not be accepted for tournament play.
     
  • Each player must submit 3 decks of 3 different classes (all with 30 cards) to the admins before their first match is played.
     
  • Once the players enter their first series, their decks are locked and cannot be changed. If a player makes any changes to their deck after this time, they will be disqualified. Random deck checks will take place without notice. 
     
  • All decklist must be sent as the written deckcode.
     
  • The format of this tournament is double-elimination, Conquest Best of 3 with one ban.
     
  • At the start of the match, the players will ban one of the opponent’s classes.
     
  • Players will inform each other regarding their 3 available classes before the match starts, but will not know which class their opponent picks until the game starts.
     
  • Conquest means that if a player wins with a deck, that deck becomes unplayable for the remaining games of that match. The losing player may continue using the same deck or may choose to switch to a deck they have yet to win with.
     
  • All players must take screenshots of loss and win screens as proof of the result.
     
  • Both players must report the results to an admin after each match.
     
  • All games must be played on the EU Server.
     
  • All players must turn off spectating mode. Players caught allowing spectators will be receiving a warning and a game loss.
     
  • Players may not substitute another player, even using their own account. The account owner must be the one playing in all parts of the competition.

Game Format

Before the match

  • Players who have been knocked out are not required to remain in the Discord channel.
     
  • At the start of each match the players will have the responsibility of communicating and banning classes. Players are encouraged to use Deck Select to facilitate fair play during the banning phase.
     
  • Only the player can contact the admin team using the Discord about their games. This includes all questions, complaints, results etc.
     
  • If players are not present at the time the game was to begin and there is no good reason for this (i.e. network is verified down in their area), one (1) gamewin will be awarded to the opponent after 10 minutes. After 20 minutes the series will be forfeited.

During the match

  • All matches will be best-of-3. The first player to win 2 games within the match is considered the winner of the match and advances.
     
  • Seeding required for the tournament will be decided by the admins.
     
  • All players must submit their Battletags prior to the tournament in the correct format (i.e. nickname#number), and this account must be the one used throughout the tournament. Players caught using another account will be banned from the tournament, no matter which stage of the competition it is.
     
  • All players must use the nickname they used at the time of sign-up, including on Discord.
     
  • All players must behave themselves. Examples of poor behavior are spamming in-game chat, racism, misogyny, etc.
     
  • If a server crashes before the end of a game, and the match cannot be resumed from where it disconnected, the match will be restarted unless one player has 100% lethal and a screenshot to prove it.
     
  • In case of disconnection, under no circumstances should a game be abandoned. If a player has disconnected and there is no interruption on connectivity, the player who abandoned the game may be disqualified. At the very least, the game will be given as a win to the other player. In either case, the administrator should be contacted immediately by BOTH parties.
     
  • Players are allowed to use software such as a deck tracker during their matches.
     
  • No player may listen to or watch a video feed of their own matches while they are playing. Players caught doing this will be receiving a match loss.
     
  • If both players fall to 0HP at the same time, neither player wins the round and the game will be remade with the same decks to be played again.

After the match

  • The match will go on even if a player believes the other player has cheated. The player must then notify an admin and file a complaint after the game. After the complaint has been accepted, the complainant has a window of 10 minutes to gather all evidence and hand it over to the admin. The admins may need some time to process the complaint. Any player caught cheating will be banned from playing in the current tournament.
     
  • All players must show respect to their opponents and the admins, even if a complaint has been made.

Cheating

  • No form of cheating is allowed. This includes any form of third party software, script or other method that changes the way the game is played.
     
  • Exploiting of bugs will not be tolerated and may result in disqualification of the player from the tournament regardless of stage of play.
     
  • Exploits not specifically mentioned in this list should be assumed to be illegal. If you are in doubt about this, please speak to an administrator immediately. The administrator will have the last word on any potential hack, exploit or cheat.

Behaviour

  • All players must act professional and display good sportsmanship throughout the tournament. This includes all forms of communication such as discord, BattleNet, in-game chat, etc.
