📜 Quick rules

Fair play

No smurfs on borrowed accounts, no scripts/cheats. One roster per player — playing for two teams = instant DQ.

Match times

Default slots are evening IST; captains may mutually reschedule within the round window and report in the match thread.

Roster lock

Rosters lock when the bracket is drawn. The substitute may play any match before the finals.
