Roster players can only play twice in the first four games and are NOT permitted to play a 3rd game until game 5. Failure to do so will result in a forfeit each occurrence. Any roster player or TC player can play any game in the single elimination rounds. **ALL TCs can play a max of two games per series in the event said team is in a Best of Five Series. Playing roster players over the maximum amount or not playing them the required amount will result in game overturns or forfeits.

If the player gets removed through this rule they're issued a season-ending ban.
