I very much understand the frustration that teams are having when it comes to playing against someone they believe to be cheating. What I am offering is the best compromise I have for the time being, that is the delaying of advanced playoffs for the next week or two to give AC more time to make a decision. This is not an ideal situation, and I'm more frustrated that we couldn't get something better to work, but on such short notice this is what I have.

For some context, some (lightly modified) messages I sent to chell within the last hour:

"I have literally 0 control over when AC gets through their cases, if people have an issue with an alleged cheater playing there is no way for me individually to speed up the process. The barrier that we are faced with is that AC needs absolute refutable evidence that he is cheating, they have an extensive process for this and it is not simply limited to staring at a demo and measuring reaction time (not that this is an invalid way of checking someone is cheating, just saying it can be somewhat superficial)."

EDIT: That being said, I have no clue what their is involved in their process, I am no expert in the slightest, people should still submit demo ticks when they find stuff suspicious.

"Also being said, if teams decide to play Gilbert’s format, that’s fine and I understand the precedent, but at this time they will not be considered official matches. Refusal to play playoffs after a decision is made will likely result in forfeit penalties and loss of prize winnings."

Due to schedules not working out with the potential playoffs teams weekend playoffs is very unlikely to happen this season. However, I'll still be offering to create matches as soon as each respective round of the double elim is played, so playoffs teams will be welcome to try and coordinate something that works best for them (and hopefully finish playoffs within a week or so). Next season I'll aim to set the weekend for playoffs before the season begins so players have ample time to schedule around it.

Week 7 demo requests will be out after all (week 7) matches are played next week. There will be a HARD DEADLINE of Saturday, July 15th 11:59 PM est for all demos including week 5 (this will be included in the message to your team leader). I've been fairly flexible on the time constraints but this deadline is non-negotiable since standings have to be finalized over the weekend.

As always reach out with any questions y'all have, demo requests will be out no later than next Thursday afternoon.

HELLO! I know a lot of people browse on here periodically so I figure a general post here would be effective. TLs, along with demo requests for week 5 is going to come a message/poll for advanced having weekend playoffs, as that seems to be what everyone prefers. The tentative dates are either July 15th-16th OR July 29th-30th (both Saturday/Sunday) as to avoid interfering with invite playoffs. Every team leader will be polled, so please discuss with your players to find out what dates work best for your team. Because the dates are on a weekend and people need time to plan, it's likely that we will decide the date by the end of Week 6 (Sunday, July 2nd) so please be ready to respond ASAP.

Matches should be out tomorrow, please message me with any questions or concerns!

Matches should never get pushed out that late again, if they do for whatever circumstance (if a playoffs deciding match needs to be played, for example) tuesday's enforcement of that rule will get waived. If they are getting pushed late for whatever reason I'll post here and message TLs so people know.

If teams are being cringe and not picking until the last second 100% open a ticket and submit a veto (assuming you have attempted to contact them). Don't be afraid to request vetoes, if teams are being untimely they should be punished in some way, but that's not something I'm going to be going into 15 team leaders dms about lmfao. It's not a scumbag thing to do given matches take time to prep for in scrims, this is the most reasonable way to get teams to be better about getting their bans in on time. 36 hours gets you their first ban and 24 hours gets your team the map pick. The rule linked below is linked on every single RGL match page that goes out in both invite and advanced.

Matches from now on will get scheduled as soon as the matches for the current week get played (barring any reschedules to later weeks, if that's the case matches will still get pushed assuming the match is not important for seeding). This is pretty simple for us to do and I'll do better about staying on top of it for the rest of the season (there is really no excuse not to lol). Typically matches go out on Saturdays but it's actually easier to prioritize divs to get matches out ASAP.

If you are curious about how matches are selected, advanced (as well as every div below it) is currently a swiss system that prioritizes avoiding rematches for as long as possible so it benefits the algorithm to wait for as many matches as possible to be played before matches are created/posted. Idk anything about the specifics of the algorithm but this is my base understanding, exa and dubthink understand more. Hope this makes it easier for teams to prepare/schedule, feel free to message me if I am slow at getting matches out with camper.

Matches for this upcoming week should be out now :)!

Glitch with RGL website when the team got marked as dead and remarked alive making it so the system thinks they haven't paid (it says they have paid for the dead team and not the alive team? Good website). All the payments were confirmed on the backend but I guess the visual glitch remains.
