That is super rare (I don't know exactly how rare, don't have the statistics behind that) so congrats! I did that during S26 which was the only time in my 1000 seasons I've done that.

think its 10 or 15 minutes iirc, leaning towards 15
E: The rules don't explicitly state halftime break allowance, but considering the only time limits they talk about are at the beginning (15 mins after start time) and in the event of a player disconnect/pause(5 minutes if 1 team wants to be assholes) I'd say 15 is fair

Appreciate the plug Spades but it has been a long time since I was brushed up on my useless ESEA information. But while I'm here, making Open playoffs with a 9-7 record is not that uncommon. For example, since S20 there have been five seasons with a 9-7 playoff team (and six without). Usually this happens when the division is super competitive from bubble playoffs and up, as the teams trade maps off each other (also the size of Open itself).

I went back and looked at every Open season because I'm a fucking nerd. Here are the results / history of 9-7 teams making playoffs in Open.

Also some more useless info i don't know when this happen. But hey took all the teams i rang for through season s27 or if i played 1 match for a team randomly and they just combined them onto one team in the history tab. its very weird. Because i know i didn't play 7 matches on moshi moshi. And i only played 9 matches for danger dogs. I looked at others peoples profiles with notoriously long team history and they had the same thing done to them. What have they done??

edit: fixed it
