Answer

Ruling: Judges are allowed to play in low OPL events like Nexus Nights/release events, but not in high OPL events like Summoner Skirmish. Time extensions should be granted for rulings that take over 1 minute.

Nuances:

  • The specific policies for low OPL events are up to the LGS
  • When a game goes to time, the winner is determined first by who has the higher score (points) in that game; if points are tied, the game is a tie
  • In a best of 3 match, if game 1 is won and game 2 ends in a tie, the player who won game 1 wins the match
  • Individual LGS may have different rulings on extra turns/time during Nexus Nights, so it's best to clarify beforehand
