BROADCAST MATCHES 

Note that for all Broadcasted Matches, a series of punctuality timers will be made use of. These are listed as follows:  

  • Teams have 10 minutes to be in-game/lobby and ready to start by the scheduled start time. This time will be communicated with teams beforehand. Note that in a rolling schedule, these times can be affected by the game before it. 
  • Should teams not be in-game and ready by this point, they will have an additional 5 minute timer before they are forfeited from Map 1.  
  • Should teams not be in-game and ready by this point, another additional 5 minute timer will be started before they are forfeited from the series.  
  • Teams will have an accumulative 10 Minute Tech timer that will span across all maps in a series. Should this timer elapse - the game will be continued as a 4v5, or forfeited.
