POI Due and Expiration Period Update

You may notice the Teamslist Finalization Date missing, this is due to the fact that this is a rather late announcement. As an additional note we are altering the expiration period for PoI from a six month period to a Cup Cycle. The following teams owe us a match thread this season. If a pre-cup thread has already been made please turn it in or remind me that you've already turned it in:

 /c/,  /cm/,  /d/,  /his/,  /jp/,  /pol/,  /r9k/,  /tg/,  /trv/,  /tv/,  /v/,  /vt/,  /y/

Caretaking Update

We are updating the guidelines on how caretakers operate. We are now requiring caretakers to be mindful of the Aesthetic Deadline. Caretakers must now upload a functional aesthetic export as well as a Music Export upon the Aesthetics Deadline or risk suspension or being removed from caretaking the team for repeated neglect. The rules page will reflect this as soon as possible. All current caretakers will be provided with the most recent fixed aesthetic & music exports should they not have it on hand.
