Queue rules

• All games are played on the Ranked ruleset
• If there are any problems in your queue match, such as someone not voting, or someone not responding then please use the call helpers button for assistance in queue
• If a player crashes or disconnects then we follow this policy in terms of resolving the result of the game:
  • If a player crashes or disconnects before the first PvP blind (before ante 2) then the match will be cancelled or a rematch can take place if both players are willing
  • If a player crashes or disconnects after the first PvP blind (>ante2) then the win will be given to the person that did not crash or disconnect
  • If both players loose their final lives on the same ante to a non PvP blind, then the winner is whoever made it furthest into the ante wins.
  • If this system is abused you will be punished
  • If a player is found to not be following this policy then please use the Call Helpers button
  • Staff has final say and has the power to use their own discretion when deciding the outcome of a game in the event of a dispute

Queue Etiquette

• Both players have to agree to do random deck/stake. (You can do randomdeck by typing /random deck and randomstake by doing /random stake in queue)
• If a player is below gold they get the power to veto and pick white stake.
• If both players are stalling in the pvp blind, then the person with the lower score must play their hand first.
