Rules

 

Both players spend time in the days before picking 12 Pets, which will comprise their initial pool.

At the beginning of the pre-fight phase just before the actual match, both players reveal which 12 pets they have selected to each other by using pet-draft.com


Upon seeing their opponent's choices, each player may spend this time choosing 3 additional pets using pet-draft.com. This allows a player to have options for victory if they see something in their opponent's selection they had not accounted for. Each player now has 15 unique pets selected, from which they can build a team.


This ensures player-controlled balancing rather than blind picking.

Each player will follow a specific turn order to ban their opponent from using a pet and picking the next pet for their team. Please see Pick/Ban if you have questions about how this operates. Do not close the pet-draft.com website after you have a team of three pets as a (play a second match) option will later appear. Both Players now have a team consisting of 3 pets.


Now that both players have their teams of 3 pets they may choose which abilities each pet uses during their match. Matches will be held between two players during a time that is suitable and agreed upon by both parties. Both players agree to a location in-game either from our chosen list of suggestions in "Stages" or by choosing a location themselves. If the two players cannot agree on a location then Flip-a-Coin.


Players now let their Battle Pets do what they do best. Begin battle! A winner is decided from the best 3 out of 5 match wins. After each match the pool of choices is reset to 15 and each player begins the pick/ban system again on pet-draft.com by using the play another round option. At least 1 member of the competitors of a match must screen share the match over discord to a party capable of recording or have the ability to record/upload the match on YouTube/similar website. If neither of these options is available; the addon "Pet Battle Log Keeper" must be used and the report submitted immediately after the match.
