PSL rules

Just for some clarification, at what point can you not leave in a pug. Once the script starts or after captians are picked?

...

It is after the pug ends. It has never been anything else, I'm not sure who started that rumor but they really mind fucked everyone lol. But to guarantee your spot for the next pug, you must be in the server before the previous pug ends. Otherwise you must be apart of the new 'first 12' group.

EDIT : MB, misread what you asked. Scroll down to see the real answer.

I think he means, at what point in time are you no longer allowed to leave without a sub.

Examples - When script first starts, when the script puts everyone spec to choose captains, when captains are acceptable, when teams are picked.

Lol fk. Always gotta misread one or two words and make myself look like a dumbass

You have the 25 second timer after the pug ends to leave (which is the script that puts you spec). Even if you leave .1 seconds after that point, you will still be banned.

I think Spero was asking for clarification regarding leaving the server, if it was after the pug script starts or after captains are choosen.

To clarify, lets say there are 6 events that occur between 1 pug ending and a new one starting:

Event 1: The pug you were just in ends.
Event 2: A 25 second timer begins as a count-down to when the next pug will start.
Event 3: The timer reaches 0 and the next pug starts with 2 of the 12 spectators being randomly selected to be captains.
Event 4: Everyone votes, and if successful, those two players will be the captains for the new pug.
Event 5: The captains pick their players and assign positions.
Event 6: The team who had 2nd pick kicks off.

Alright, so when can you leave? You can leave during Event 1 and Event 2 only. Say there are 12 players in the server while Event 2 is occuring...if you leave, all that will happen is it will stop the timer until there are 12 again. So as long as that little white count down timer is still going, you are free to come and go as you please.

However, as soon as that timer ends and Event 3 starts you are bound to stay unless you find a replacement. Remember, Event 3 begins as soon as 2 random captains are put on the feild, and once Event 3 begins, the new pug has begun. And just like in any pug situation, the ONLY time you can leave without consequence DURING a pug is if you have a sub to take your place. Technically you can leave during Event 3, but there has to be more than 12 in the server when you do so.

Is that what you were asking about, and if so, does that clear things up?
