New clause added to Valve's TO guidelines

Valve has introduced a new clause in its tournament guidelines to address confusion around which version of the Tournament Operation Requirements should be applied to upcoming tournaments.

Valve has specified that the applicable version of the guidelines will be the one current at the time of a tournament's additional information deadline. This clarification aims to provide tournament organizers with a clear reference point for understanding which specific set of rules they must follow.

Valve has been changing these guidelines very often, which has caused confusion among tournament organizers in the recent past about which version of the rules they should reference when planning events.

By tying the applicable version to the additional information deadline, Valve has created a more straightforward mechanism for determining the exact ruleset that will govern a particular tournament.
