• 403.6. Players may count the cards in their opponents’ sideboards at any time.
• 403.7. A player may look at their own sideboard at any time, but must keep it distinguishable from other cards.

Match

• 404.1. A match of Riftbound consists of a series of games that are played until one side has won a predetermined number of games.
• 404.2. Most matches of Riftbound are “best of 3,” meaning the predetermined number of games to win is 2.
• 404.3. Games that end in a draw do not count toward this goal.
• 404.4. If the competition round ends (due to time limits) prior to any side achieving the goal, the winner of the match is the one who has won the most games.
• 404.5. If all sides have equal game wins, the match is a draw.

408. End of Match Procedure

• 408.1. A match is complete once a match result is recorded by players or a tournament official.
• 408.2. If the time limit for a competition round is reached before a winner is determined, the player whose turn it is finishes their turn.
  • 408.2.a. After that player’s turn is complete, three additional turns are played, and then the match ends.
  • 408.2.b. If the game is incomplete at the end of the additional turns, a player is declared the winner of the game if they have a point lead of two or more. If no player has a point lead of two or more, the game is a draw.
  • 408.2.c. Additional turns are untimed, but at professional OPL a judge must be present to ensure a reasonable pace of play.
  • 408.2.d. If the players are between games when the round time ends, no new game is started.
