Player Infractions & Penalties

Enabling and assigning player infractions and penalties.

Set the Rules Enforcement Level

Once an event has been created, the Rules Enforcement Level must be set in order to apply infractions during the event. This can be enabled or changed during the event as well.

To enable this setting:

  1. Open the event in the Admin Dashboard

  2. In the Event Details tab, locate the Gameplay Format & Rules Enforcement section

  3. Under Rules Enforcement Level, select the appropriate option

The Rules Enforcement Level is set by each publisher for their specific games, so these options may vary depending on which game the event is running.

For Lorcana, choose Casual or Competitive.

For Riftbound, choose Casual or Standard Tournament.

  2. Under the Actions column, click the hammer icon

First, enable the Interactions column by clicking Columns and selecting Interactions. Then any applied infractions will appear in the Interactions column:

The specific infraction and any notes can be viewed by hovering over the penalty label:

Notes

Applying a Disqualified penalty to a player does not automatically eliminate them from the event. They can be manually removed by selecting Dropped from the Registration column.

Similarly, applying a Match Loss penalty to a player does not automatically populate a loss for that player. That can be manually entered by the Tournament Organizer in the Result column.
