My league is going to be testing out / getting used to the new 2 of 3 format, and from looking at the : Pokémon Organized Play Tournament Rules Rev: September 1, 2013 - I had a question about the 9.3 section on determining a winner (we won't be playing with the option for ties). There it states :
GAME 1
If the last turn ends during game 1, the player with the fewest Prize cards remaining wins game 1 and wins the match.
GAME 2
If the last turn ends during game 2:
The active player completes his or her turn. If either player has less than 50% of his or her initial Prize cards remaining (2 in a Constructed format or 1 in a Limited format), the player with the fewest Prize cards remaining wins the game. Otherwise the game does not count toward determining the winner of the match, and the winner of game 1 wins the match.
GAME 3
If the last turn ends during game 3, the player with the fewest Prize cards remaining wins game 3 and wins the match.
There are additional conditions of course, but my question is regarding the 'last turn' mentioned in each case. Do the turn 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 rules still apply and then the last turn mentioned refers to that turn 3 - or does last turn refer to the turn the players were on when time was called ? The wording on Game 2 specifically mentions - 'the active player completes his or her turn' - which seems to imply that there are no additional turns 1-3 and game stops after turn when time is called.
Thank you.
