If you have any issues during Playoffs, you need to contact us immediately, failure to do so in certain scenarios will result in penalties. If you know your team cannot participate in the Playoffs for any reason, contact us prior to the first round.

Administrators will be following each and every match closely, ensuring Match Details are confirmed and the results are submitted correctly and truthfully. Certain Playoffs matches will be cast by our Official Channel, so please follow our rules when participating in one of these casted matches, and change your name to your username on the league website.

Quick notice about Admin Support and In-Game problems.

• Do not spam the Admin Support channel in the Discord as doing so will get you suspended from the League. Instead, post a message and wait for contact from a member of Staff. Ignoring Admins and other Staff members will also get you suspended.

• Both teams are permitted a maximum of 3 pauses in each match (not per map). Each pause is limited to 5 minutes, but combined will not surpass 10 minutes. How you use the pauses are up to you. If the other team permits it, a longer pause can be used. Failure to unpause or go over the allowed time will result in penalties. You must give a warning of at least 5 seconds for when you are going to unpause and resume the match. Failure to give warning will result in a serious penalty. Unpausing the other team's pause will result in an immediate forfeit for your team.

Hello everyone, we're now in Week 5 of Respawn League Season 1. Please make sure you're checking your alerts and using your match comms to communicate with the other leaders.

The map being played this week is Badwater (pl_badwater_pro_v12).

If you have any problems or queries regarding this week's matches or the league in general, you can visit our Discord on the right of the page and seek admin support.

We'd like everyone to re-read the rules for Match Deadlines / Match Negotiations:

• You cannot reschedule a match more than twice, you must check your team is available on your desired day before you confirm it.
• Failure to commence / complete Match Negotiations by 11:59 PM AEST Tuesday will result in the team who has started Match Negotiations receiving their ideal Match Time and Day. Make sure you are regularly checking the website for the weekly match.

Please use the Admin-Support channel in the Discord before you message staff individually. The chances of a fast response are increased when you notify all members of staff through this channel, opposed to a singular member of staff that may or may not be at their computer. If you desperately need help from staff, message the Moderators (purple tag in Discord) first. They will then escalate the problem to other members of staff if required.

NOTE: The Ruleset for Respawn League is being updated to cover all new updates, please make sure you have a scan through them for any new rules you might not have read.

Firstly, I'd like to add a quick note about Transfers this week. Transfers are when a player is awaiting approval to be added to an Active Roster from a Player Pool. These transfers must be approved by a member of Staff. We go through the transfers each Saturday once the match deadlines are over. Please make sure you act around these times and understand them, as we do not want to hear that your player has not been transferred to your team yet and you don't understand why.

Secondly, I'd like to remind everyone to please post to your match comms, whether it's about Merc approval, logs from Logs.TF, match score submissions or other negotiations with the opposing Team Captain. Failure to post all of the above to the match comms will result in a mutual forfeit in which both teams will receive 0 points for the match.

Hello everyone! Welcome to Week 3, the third iteration of matches in Respawn League Season 1. Please make sure you're checking your alerts and using your match comms to communicate with the other leaders.

We've noticed that some players are having a bit of confusion over the whole utilization of Mercenaries which I'd like to reiterate. Any player that are not on your Active Roster is a Mercenary. Your Active Roster is the roster that you have signed up for Season 1 with - NOT your Player Pool. You can check this roster by heading to your team page and finding the heading labeled "Active roster for <team> playing in Open for RLHL AUS / NZ - Season 1". If you are needing a Mercenary, you are required to send your desired Merc's Steam / Profile link (found on their Respawn League user page) to the opposing Captain for approval. The opposing Captain can deny unreasonable Mercenaries, however, you have the right to contact the Admin Team if you believe they themselves are being unreasonable in denying your Merc(s).

• You are allowed a max of two Mercenaries per match.
  
• You are allowed a max of eight Mercenaries for the season.
• You cannot use the same Mercenary in more than three officials.

(Note: In accordance with the league’s rules, you are required to put the Mercenaries profile link or league account name in the match comms, as well as proof of the opposing Captains approval of said Merc.)

Welcome to Week 2 everyone. This is the second iteration of matches in Respawn League Season 1! Please make sure you're checking your alerts and using your match comms to communicate with the other leaders.
