Answer

Ruling: When time runs out during a Bo3 match, the active player completes their turn, then 5 extra turns are played with a judge present. After the 5 turns, the player with the most points wins that game. The player who wins the most games wins the match. If both are tied, the match is a draw.

Sequence:

  • Active player completes their current turn
  • 5 additional turns are played (no time limit, judge present)
  • Player with most points wins the game
  • Player with most game wins wins the match
  • If tied on game wins, the match is a draw

Nuances:

  • A judge should be present during the extra turns to prevent games from taking hours
