OFFLINE ULTIMATE CUP EVENTS

Modified gameplay rules will enacted for Offline Ultimate Cup Events as follows:

1. MULLIGAN
• (Same Mulligan rules as above apply.)

2. SIDE DECKS
• Players will be permitted to bring their main deck of 50 cards and a side deck of up to 5 cards.
• Side decks may include main deck and Digi-Egg cards.
• The limit on copies of cards with the same card number that can be included applies to the total cards in your
deck and side deck. If rules or effects change the limit on copies of cards that can be included, the limit applies
to the total cards in both your deck and side deck.
• The contents of the side deck are considered a secret area and should not be shown to the opponent. Both
players should count out their side decks in view of their opponent to confirm how many cards are in there at
the start of each match. Your side deck may be returned to a deck box for safekeeping, which must be kept on
the table in view of both players.
• After the end of each game in a match, players may choose to swap cards into their deck from their side deck.
The same number of cards must be swapped between each deck. The quantity of both decks must remain the
same before and after siding.
• Please keep the time between games to under three minutes. All preparation for the next game and exchanging
of cards between main deck and side deck must be carried out within these three minutes.
• Players may be penalized if a judge determines them to be time wasting between games.
• Before the start of each game, if a player has a side deck, they should present it to their opponent face down.
The number of cards in the side deck is public information, but a player is not required to reveal how many
cards were swapped between decks.
• Players are not permitted to review their side deck contents during a game.
• At the end of the match, players must return their decks and side decks to their original states.
• If a player receives a Game Loss penalty prior to the start of the first game, players are not allowed to switch
cards out from their side decks before the start of Game 2.
