Sleeves policy

Only standard size official Bushiroad sleeves and opaque sleeves which don’t reveal the back of the card can be used.
Please ensure that the sleeves are of the correct size.

Sleeves used for all cards must be of the same design unless otherwise stated.

End of round policy

Until Top 8/16: time-up is counted as a loss for both parties. The judge can decide to give extra time in case of lost time during a round.
For top 8/16→Top 4: Extra turn according to the following rules:

1. Players must stop playing when time is up (even in the middle of their turn) and call the judge. 2. After the Judge’s approval, players resume their play (only one turn each). 3. In case a winner cannot be designated after the above “2.”, the fighter with the most damage will lose the game. If the damage is still the same, repeat the Extra turn 3 times until the winner is decided.

If there is a “simultaneous loss” during the extra turn, the layer waiting for his turn will win.

There is no time limit for the Top 4.
