-The Creator Clash has concluded so it's time to come back to regular IDTGA! For this season, we've focused on increasing the scalability of the tournament, optimising the amount of matches played against similarly skilled players while also hopefully reducing rematches. During this season we'll also be taking a look into the Splattercolour Screen and the minimum rank, of which any changes may be implemented next season.
+Welcome to It's Dangerous to go Alone Season 45. This season, we're trialing the Nintendo Tournament Manager. Note that this is very much a beta test, so if this doesn't work as intended we will revert back to start.gg. We'd also like it if you could give us your personal feedback on your experience of using this as it will help us determine whether we use this or not.
 
 **Patch Notes:**
 
-- Introducing the Master Bracket! The Master Bracket is the eXtreme bracket, even higher than the Power Bracket!
-- Increased the registration cap from 192 players to 200 players.
-- Also introducing pools into the preliminary stage of the tournament. If a bracket has 12 or more teams, pools will start to be formed. However, there will still only be 4 teams total that progress into the top cut of that bracket.
+- The brackets will be hosted on the Nintendo Tournament Manager, rather than start.gg.
+- Swiss stage will no longer be a hard cap of four rounds, and will be determined by the Nintendo Tournament Manager
+- Once teams are released, captains must register their team onto the Nintendo Tournament Manager bracket
+- Swiss points distrubution has been altered to align with the Nintendo Tournament Manager
+- Swiss tiebreakers have been altered to align with the Nintendo Tournament Manager
+- Other areas of the rules and faq have been altered to align with the change to the Nintendo Tournament Manager

+### Match Issues
+If there is an issue regarding your match, and you need to speak with either your opponents or the TOs, please select the **Contact the Director** option, and select the most applicable option.

Then, in the Off the Dial Discord server, please create a forum post in your bracket's respective forum channel. You must also quote your match number (e.g. 003).
+
+If your team has had a substitute after the tournament commencement time, you will need to create standard Private Battle matches. Start by **Contacting the Director** to signal an issue, following all instructions above and organise a PB lobby in the Discord forum channel.

 ## Disconnects (DC)
 
 To end the game early, any player can push the `ZL`, `ZR`, `L`, `R` as well as pushing down the two sticks all at the same time for 3 seconds. **This is not a rage-quit feature**, misuse of this feature will result in the entire set loss. Abuse of this feature will result in disqualification and/or a permanent ban. Remember to use the switch capture feature to record misuse if it has occured.
