Per-map veto counts and the thin-sample rule

A row marked "thin sample" played under a quarter of this event's own busiest map — the same relative cut `/pro-meta` uses for a thin season or month, applied here within this one event. A map with no CT/T bar was banned before it was ever played, not omitted.

against the seasonHow it compares with its own season

This event played 57 maps at 52.1% CT; Season 1a as a whole played 528 maps at 50.8% CT (0.8pts CT-leaning) — 1.3pts more CT-sided than the season as a whole.

57 maps is under a quarter of Season 1a's 528 maps — a small sample against the season it sat in, marked here rather than read as equally trustworthy.

Sample-size caveat
