Hello @gucci
Thank you for bringing this question to us! We've discussed in Head Office, and upon review of the situation and the rule at hand, we find that you would not be able to claim that TPE, as you were signed to a new contract.
As you brought up, III.A.8 - To be particularly clear about regression: All TPE earned must be put in your update thread before regression and signing new contracts or extensions. This TPE will count towards regression and your contract tier. Any TPE not put in your update thread at those times will be considered void
As to the question of whether or not you could claim up to that contract tier amount, we must turn to similar past cases. Er attempted to claim old TPE, and the original ruling did allow him to claim up to the contract tier amount. However, this ruling was overturned on appeals, and the entirety of the TPE from that time was forfeit.
As such, you would not be able to claim the s16/s17 TPE in question. You were signed to a new contract without the TPE in question on your update thread, making them now void.
As to your argument about the "and" use in III.A.8, "and" here is used to clarify that both situations require all TPE to be accounted for before proceeding. This is confirmed when later the rule states that "Any TPE not put in your update thread at those times will be considered void". "Those times", as these are the two cases in which you must have all TPE factored in, both when calculating regression and when signing contracts or extensions.
Thank you again for coming to us with the question and providing your argument. Welcome back to the league! Feel free to reach out to me or any other member of Head Office with further questions.
Best,
