With the Pantheon Holiday Special upon us, the time to finalise details for Sunday’s event has come. Thanks to Mwave.com.au there is a total of $1000 in prizes to play for. In order to be prepared for competition on Sunday, please take the time to read over the ruleset and be adequately prepared for Sunday morning.
Ruleset
The Pantheon Inaugural will make use of the Electronic Sports League (ESL) Counter-strike Global Offensive ruleset that is currently being employed in the ESL A-Series. However, there will be some noted differences. The sections of the ruleset applicable to the ESL Matchmaking System will not be used. Other sections of the ruleset that are specific to the ESL system will also fall under the category of not applicable .
A link to the ESL ruleset can be found HERE.
The tournament director reserves the right to make the final decision regarding all matters, and it is expected that all players will conduct themselves in a sportsmanlike manner. Decisions regarding each situation will be made in an entirely transparent manner and explained to teams accordingly. Pantheon administration also reserves the right to use discretion regarding infringement of rules and subsequent penalties to ensure the rules are applied in context.

Rosters and Team Confirmation
A couple of teams have spoken to me in the week regarding roster changes and lineups. As far as lineup changes are concerned, I am happy to accommodate those who need to change rosters (within reason), up until Saturday evening at 5pm. After such time, rosters will remain locked. If you need to change a player, please contact me via steam. With only 10 teams in the competition, I require all teams to confirm their attendance , which you can do by posting in this thread. Please also visit the team lineup thread in related posts to ensure that your team’s lineup is up to date before the rosters are locked.
