Format & Regulations

Regulations & Guidelines for Webcam Usage

– All hand cards to be on screen at all times (if you wish to move your hands off screen, please put the cards in your hand on the field).
– Entire Field (Deck, hand, drop zone, damage zone, memory, stock, clock, flag, order zone, ride deck, etc.) has to be visible at all times.
– Ensure all equipment are charged and functioning properly
– Ideal set-up: Camera at an angle where you can see the player’s hands at all times

Example of an ideal set-up

Throughout the tournament

Cards leaving the camera: Once = Warning, Twice = Game Loss
Disconnected from the table: Once = Warning, Twice = Game loss

Should you face any video feed issues and want to reconnect, call a judge first before attempting to reconnect.
If the player connects, then disconnects, they have 5 minutes to reconnect before they are awarded a game loss.

How to call a judge,

1. Inform your opponent that you’re calling a judge. The game is paused.
2. Leave your cards in your hand on the table as well, all cards must be visible
3. Call a judge by pinging “@Judge Table Number x” (Judge Roles will be available in the Discord Servers)
4. Only proceed after the Judge has entered the voice channel

Shuffling
As cutting your opponent’s deck is not possible through webcam tournaments, after shuffle, players must cut their deck into 3 equal piles and label the piles as 1, 2 and 3.
Your opponent will get to choose the order in which the piles will be stacked.

Recording
Players are strongly recommended to record their own matches as video proof for ruling disputes.
However, you are not allowed to stream your matches.

Penalties
If you are unsure of the amount of warnings you have received, you may always check with the judge.

Preparation Time (after pairings and before start of the round)
Players have 5 minutes to get into your respective tables before the start of the round.
After the start of the round, if the opponent is still not at the table, you get a walk over.
*A walkover refers to awarding the victory to the participant whose opponent did not show up within 5 minutes after the start of the round

Time-Keeping
Organisers/Judges will announce the time remaining (5 or 10 minutes) before the end of the round.
Each player is responsible for their own time-keeping should they miss out on the notifications and pings from the judges.

Notice – Card abilities that would be affected in webcam tournaments

Please note that due to the limitations of online tournaments, for cards with abilities that allows a player to look at their opponent’s deck, the opponent will have to reveal those cards instead (which would otherwise be in the hidden zone).

Entry Fee	Free
Time-up Policy	Players have 10 minutes to finish the 3 extra turns. After 10 minutes or end of the third turn, whichever comes first, the winner is decided in the following manner: Cardfight!! Vanguard: The player with less damage wins the game. If the damage is the same, the game ends in a double loss. Future Card Buddyfight: The player with more life wins the game. If the life is the same, the game ends in a double loss. The starting player for games 2-3 will be decided by the loser of the previous game. Weiss Schwarz: The player with lower level wins the game. If the level is the same, the player with less clock wins the game. If the clock is the same, the game ends in a double loss. In the top-cut, after 3 extra turns, the game will be decided by sudden death.
Deck Check	To avoid disputes and cases of cheating, we would require all participants to fill in Deck Registration Forms, which include their deck list and a media release agreement before registering for the tournaments.
