abstract	A Game Loss is given out when a player has committed an infraction which is not severe enough to forfeit an entire match or to be removed from the premises, but has a significant impact on the game. A Game Loss is appropriate for situations where a Game state is irreparable due to the actions of the player receiving the penalty. If a Game Loss is given out during a game, the player forfeits the current game. If this penalty is given out in between games of a match, the player forfeits the upcoming game. If the penalty is given out before a match, the player forfeits the first game of the upcoming match. In the case where a Game Loss is applied before a match, neither player may use their Side Deck prior to the beginning of the first played game. This penalty is given if the judge believes the infraction was unintentional (See Unsporting Conduct for Exception). A Game Loss should always be followed by a brief education of the player, explaining why the penalty was handed out and that a further infraction can lead to an upgrade. An upgrade to a Game Loss is a Match Loss.
