RGL hasn’t released an article in a while, so I wanted to post the recent changes to keep everyone up to date!

July RGL Global Rules Updates:

• [1008.5] - POV and STV Demos has been updated to clarify that demo file submission to Discord is an acceptable method.
  ⠀
• [3003] - Regular Season Roster is updated to clarify that players with an active suspension do not count towards a team’s total membership count.
  ⠀
• [1008.8] - Score Submission has been updated to clarify that teams that submit an incorrect match score should create a support ticket to have this error be fixed.
  ⠀
• [1003.1] - Cheating has been updated to clarify how placements in playoffs are affected in which matches played by a cheater have been overturned.

Map Update:

Product was updated to koth_product_final (formerly koth_product_rcx)
Product is played in ALL current formats, so expect this map to be played in s10 HL, s10 7v7, and s7 6v6. Patch notes and the download can be found here.

All pug groups should also probably update to the most recent version too.
