Some reminders regarding playoffs:

• Any map pick/bans should be completed a minimum of 36 hours prior to the decided match time. Failure to do so may result in the team holding up proceedings losing their picks.
• Players may only ring for a team in one match after the time of roster lock. If your team requires an exception to this please open a ticket in our Discord.
• Failing any demo request during playoffs will result in an immediate second offense, even if the player has not previously failed a request.
• Any minor penalties incurred during playoffs will result in a 10% prize deduction and a 30% deduction per major penalty
