In a game of an event (Tier 2, say State, regional or Nats):
Player 1:
- Starts with 7 cards. Place 3 Pokémon in play during set-up
- Draw Card
- Place Stadium
- Place Pokémon tool on a Pokémon
- Ends turn
(no discard at this time)
Player 2:
- Draw card
- Discard cards (including a Colress) by using Ultra ball
- Play a few more cards
- Plays VS Seeker to bring back Colress
- Plays Colress
Player 1 then does this:
- Puts hand on top of deck
Player 2 stop Player 1 from continuing.
For the question, say a judge was called. What should happen?
1 - Player 1 is issued a game loss for Game play - Severe (7.1.3)
or:
2 - Since Player 1 hasn't shuffled, but only put the cards on top of the deck, the issue is reversible.
we can backtrack the actions based on the following information:
- 7 Starting cards, plus one drawn card total of 8 cards drawn.
- 5 cards are on the play area (1 Stadium, 3 Pokémon, a Pokémon tool)
- Discard is empty
- Player 1 didn't shuffle, and the cards are still on top of the deck.
There is 3 cards missing, thus the first 3 cards are the cards that were in the player's hand
Penality-wise: In this situation, I would say Game play - Minor and issue a Warning.
How would you deal with the situation, should you have seen it?

In some cases, a game-play error occurs which irreparably breaks the game state. In these cases, there is no way that either player or a judge can reset the game to the point where it can be continued.

- Shuffling your hand into your deck without the use of a card effect.

Recommended Starting Penalty:
