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 72 maps at 50.4% CT; Season 1a as a whole played 528 maps at 50.8% CT (0.8pts CT-leaning) — 0.4pts more T-sided than the season as a whole.
72 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.
