After a small delay in the schedule this week (we sincerely apologize, by the way) the matchups have been posted! In fact, some matches have already been played! If yours has not we urge you to post in match comms as soon as possible to determine a play time that works for both teams. If a time cannot be agreed upon then the default day/time of Sunday @ 7PM Eastern will be decided for you.­

­

Here are some other rules and reminders for the first week:

• Absolutely no standins of any kind are allowed. If the team member is not rostered they are not playing. Simple as that.
• If you decide to stream your matchup make sure you put a significant delay on your stream. If it gets sniped it is not our problem.­
• All games are a Best of Two Series.­
• Teams may only pause for technical difficulties. Each team has an allotted time of 10 minutes to pause. This is over the course of the entire matchup.­
• If the DOTA 2 network goes down during your matchup and does not come back quickly, please notify a UGC Admin.
• In Game 1 the HOME team chooses whether they want Radiant/Dire and the AWAY team chooses whether they want First Pick/First Ban. In Game 2 these roles reverse.­
• If you have any other questions regarding rules or gameplay please do not hesitate to contact a UGC Admin for further information.

Best of luck to all teams this week.

Game on.­
