Here are some pertinent tournament rules to follow!

You may have a sideboard, following official rules:

• 601.1.c.1. A player’s sideboard can include 8 or fewer cards.
• 403.3. Limits on copies of named cards as defined by competition format apply to the combination of Main Deck and sideboard.
• 403.4. Players may use sideboard cards to modify their deck in between games of a match. Sideboard cards must be exchanged 1 for 1 with Main Deck cards.
  • 403.4.a. During that time, a player may change their Chosen Champion to one from their sideboard or Main Deck that meets the deckbuilding rules of the competition format.
  • 403.4.b. In constructed formats, a player may not change their Runes, Legend, or Battlefields at any point after deck registration.
  • 403.4.c. After the sideboarding process, a player’s Main Deck must meet deck size requirements dictated by the competition format.
• 403.5. Players may use those cards to modify their deck after the first game of a match.
• 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.
• 403.8. A player’s deck and sideboard must be returned to their registered states before the first game of the next match.

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.
