For each 24 hours the match is scheduled beyond a playday scheduling deadline, both clans receive 1 penalty point. In case a clan feels, that only the opposing clan caused this situation, it may send a formal complaint to a headadmin or supervisor within 48 hours in order to eventually remove the penalty point.

Each team has to write a statement for each of their matches in the regular season of the ESL WC3L Series. This match statement has to be posted at least 24 hours but no more than 7 days before a match. This statement has to be written and saved as a match pre-report (not as comment in the match). The statement has to be in an adequate quality and should contain around 50 words. Missing, too short or inappropriate statements may result in a penalty.
