Reminders

During Highlander Winter '25, we plan to conduct random demo checks to ensure players are recording POV demos. Please ensure that you are recording all scrims and officials to avoid punishment. You can do this via the in-game demo system following our guide which you can find here.
- The punishments for not recording demos have been changed - the first offence will now incur a warning, but a repeat offence at any time in the future will incur severe penalties. This is not a 'blank slate' - all previous offenders who have been caught not recording will not get another warning.
If you are unsure if something is considered a game exploit, contact a League Administrator for clarification. Ignorance is not an excuse.
