More info (roster changes etc)

-Roster changes-

  • All Platinum / OPEN Teams must allocate a Team captain when joining the Season Discords. The team captain will be the main contact point for each team.
  • Teams MUST maintain at least TWO of their initial roster throughout the Platinum and OPEN season(s). Should teams request MORE roster changes and can’t maintain these two players, the roster changes will be denied and have to refer the ‘Fills/Subs’ section below.
  • Teams who can NOT maintain TWO players from their original roster may be forfeited from the season they are participating in.
  • Teams may have unlimited roster changes throughout Season 3, at the discretion of an AEN admin.
  • All roster changes will only be permitted once you have contacted an AEN admin and the roster change is allowed

-Subs-

  • Platinum Division teams may allocate TWO players as their subs for the season.
  • These subs MUST NOT be Platinum Division players and MUST be noted as their subs when registering for the season.
  • OPEN Division teams may register with 6 players in their team also, and MUST NOT be Platinum Division players.

-Fills-

  • Teams may NOT use fills as a general rule.
  • Fills are ONLY allowed if the other team permits them to play (Proof must be shown of this)

-Score Submissions-

  • All matches must include screenshots of ALL maps.
