Adjudication rules for rule disputes
Our judges pride themselves on unbiased rulings based strictly on the rules of the game as we understand them, and we want our players to feel as comfortable as possible.
- We resolve all rules disputes using the ITC code of conduct, which covers what happens when you call a judge (link here: 2021 ITC Code of Conduct).
- If you are need of a judge ruling, raise your hand and loudly shout “JUDGE” so one can spot you and address your table.
- You should never feel bad about having to call a judge to resolve a question, that’s what they are there for.
- A player has the right request a different judge BEFORE a ruling is made if the approaching judge could potentially have a bias to one player, such as if the judge is from the same team or podcast
- Judge rulings are is final.
Snap Rulings
- A snap ruling happens when a judge makes an assessment and decision based on initial information gathering at the table.
- A judge’s snap ruling is binding for that game and subject to human error.
- A judge’s snap ruling may contradict a previous ruling or an established tournament ruling, and if so, must be played as the judge determined.
Comprehensive ruling
- A comprehensive ruling is a thorough review and investigation of the question in consultation with other judges, if present, and thorough review of all official material.
- A judge will leave the table and determine the result.
- Unless the judge chooses, time does not stop for the players while the question is investigated.
- Any rulings made after a thorough review are binding for that event in totality and should be noted by the judge and shared with all other present judges for consistency.
Consequences of cheating or unsportsmanlike behavior
If a player is caught deliberately cheating or displaying very unsportsmanlike behavior, the event organizers reserve the right to remove the player from the tournament with no refunds. We will be using the Penalty and carding system laid out by the 2021 ITC Code of Conduct. We pride this event to be inclusive, fun and fair. There will be ZERO tolerance for anything to the contrary.
