Substitutions
The substitute player must be registered with the team prior to the tournament starting. Use of a substitute player must be informed to the GCLL admins well before the start of the scheduled match (preferably 48 hours ahead). The use of non-registered, suspended, or otherwise ineligible players in a GCLL match is not allowed under any circumstances. Doing so will result in a suspension or extended suspension of the individual in question, suspension of relevant team management, and may result in match overturn.

Stand-ins
No stand-in players besides the substitute player will be allowed to play for any team during GCLL.

Ranked Tournament
GCLL is a Gamer.LK Ranked Tournament. Taking part in such ranked tournaments would increase a team’s rank, however failure to show up after registration might lead to penalties in rank.
