In a best-of-3 match, how much time is allowed and how is a winner determined when time is called during an unfinished game?

Ruling: Best-of-3 matches are generally 50 minutes. When time is called, the active player finishes their current turn, then 5 additional turns are played. The player with the most Victory points after those 5 turns wins that game, and the match result is determined by the best-of-3 score.

Sequence:

• Time is called during an ongoing game
• The current turn is completed as normal
• 5 additional turns are played
• The player with the most Victory points wins that game
• The match winner is determined by the best-of-3 score (e.g., if the match was 1-0 and the opponent wins the timed game, the match becomes 1-1, resulting in a draw)

Nuances:

• The time limit is determined by the Tournament Organizer
• If a player is ahead 1-0 in games and their opponent wins the game that went to time, the match result is 1-1 (a draw)
• Intentional slow play to gain an advantage is against the rules and can result in penalties
