Define shortcuts.
Depends on what the shortcut is. You can usually allow shortcuts, especially if you have no hand traps or anything, and judges usually allow them; while other shortcuts may not be allowed and shouldn't be allowed, especially if you have a hand trap and would like to use it at some point to interrupt the opponent.
There are some situations where it's
required that you take shortcuts, such as when doing a loop:
https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Controlled_loop#Tournament_rulingsCurrent tournament rules state that if a player wants to perform a controlled loop, they may physically perform the loop once and then tell their opponent exactly the number of times they wish to repeat it. The opponent may then respond to any iteration of the loop by stating the iteration number.Cromat wrote:Hello,
Today, I encountered a player which made an illegal Summon, I think they were a smurf account of a player which has a high rating point at DuelingBook. I told them that you cannot. But they did not listen to me and continued to play. When I called Judge to this, they offered to rewound the game and proceed, after Judge arrived before the Duel is over Judge can give me warning.. Is this possible at here? So, if we consider that I did cheat after that opponent called a Judge for cheating, I can make a deal with my opponent and continue the Duel after rewound with correct gamestate, and when Judge arrived they can freeze me for I cheated, should not the other player either should be frozen for make a such deal with their opponent?
During the Duel; https://www.duelingbook.com/replay?id=168328-52984179 ● My opponent Link Summoned of "Decode Talker Heatsoul" by using as Link Material of "Rescue-ACE Preventer" and "Salamangreat Sunlight Wolf". After that, they used the effect of the Link Monster just Summoned and drew a card, then they put a card from their hand to Deck back.
● Those are have not different Attributes and that non-Link Effect Monster is not a Cyberse-Type monster. But my opponent still insist to continue to game, because they say they'll take only warning so, let the game continue to me.
● But I did not proceed and wanted to wait for a Judge, because I've a game related issue here I think. But opponent says only issue at here is still their drew card by their Link-3 Link Monster..Or are my opponent right on this point?
Your behavior here was a bit inappropriate and childish. It's both players' responsibility to maintain a proper gamestate, and both players' responsibility to try and correct said gamestate, when an illegal move is made, when possible to do so without waiting on a judge. Therefore you
should have told him to also return his link-3 to the extra deck and regain the 1000 life points when he wasn't doing those things, not relied solely on him to figure out and correct everything by himself.
You held up the game for 20+ minutes over something that should've easily been resolved by yourselves without a judge. Several people like Sound4 have gotten frozen for such behavior.
