I don't get it.

@DethPenguin:

That means that if one team suspects a player (or more than one player) of cheating, they can dispute that player. CEVO will inspect the suspected players' anti-cheat records and conduct demo review to see if that (or those) player(s) were indeed cheating. There is a limit of 2 players simply so that a whole team does not have to be inspected...a single cheating player results in an overturned match after all.

**update**

as of now there's 104 teams signed up. Of those teams, at least 44 have 5 on the roster (our site measures by 5, not 4, heh.) 29 of those teams have their steamid's in and are set at ready. Make sure you're putting your steamid's in or we can't ready your teams.

quick update, currently there is 166 teams signed up, but only 43 set at ready. To get set at ready you must have 4 players on your roster with steamid's in!
