The schedule for Season 3 Week 1 has been posted. As per the usual we insist that ALL teams post in their match comms as soon as possible to discuss a potential match date with their opponent. That being said, if an alternate date cannot be reached then the default match time of Sunday at 7PM Eastern must be played.

If your team was set to "not ready" and was not scheduled as a result this week that is due to the fact that some MMR is lacking presently. Every single team must have each member do the MMR setup. If your team does not have 100% MMR done by the time we do the schedule then they will be set to not ready and as a result they will not be scheduled for the following week. It is absolutely crucial that this is 100% completed. Your new members may find the bot by singing in through steam and clicking on the "team membership" tab.

As with last week, here are some quick rules and regulations for the league:

• Every team must use match communications each week. This can be done by logging in to your Team Leader page and viewing your match details for the week.
• Default time DOES NOT need to be played so long as both parties agree. That being said, admins do not need to approve match times that are not at default unless they take place on Tuesday nights in which case they must be approved by an admin.
• Under absolutely no circumstance may a standin be used. We allow 10 roster slots so be sure to use them!
• Under absolutely no circumstance does UGC allow ANYONE to sit in a spectate channel unless they are a UGC approved caster.
• Every matchup is a Best of 2 series.
• For game one the Home team chooses whether they would like Radiant/Dire and the Away team chooses whether they would like First pick/Ban. For game 2 this roll reverses.

The UGC in game Ticket is on a short delay with Valve, but should be added as soon as possible. Once it is we will make an announcement.

Best of luck to all teams participating in week one.
