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 51 maps at 53.1% CT; Season 3 as a whole played 912 maps at 53.0% CT (3.0pts CT-leaning) — 0.1pts more CT-sided than the season as a whole.
51 maps is under a quarter of Season 3's 912 maps — a small sample against the season it sat in, marked here rather than read as equally trustworthy.
