CS:GO Server Help; how do I get rid of .ready in my server so I can start the server without 10 people

Question

Ok so with my new server I'm having issues starting it. I want to be able to start the match without having 10 people in the lobby. The server config that I am using is Pug-set-up. I will also be very happy if someone could help me with how to put announcements in the chat where a message is being said like every 5 minutes or so like

"This server is self funded to help or if interested donate monthy to become a VIP and earn reserved slots and more fun features"

If you can help me It would be greatly appreciated thank you very much!

Just from browsing the code: Take a look at https://github.com/splewis/csgo-pug-setup/blob/master/scripting/pugsetup.sp, around line 600.
if (totalPlayers >= PugSetup_GetPugMaxPlayers()) {
  GiveReadyHints();
}

// beware: scary spaghetti code ahead
if ((readyPlayers == totalPlayers && readyPlayers >= 2 * g_PlayersPerTeam) ||
    g_ForceStartSignal) {

Since you said you want to be able to start the game, you can already do so via the 'force start' command sm_forcestart. By default this command is only allowed for users with admin permissions, but you can edit this in permissions.cfg.
Beware that if you let everyone do this it's highly likely you'll end up with every game being a 4 player game.

In this file, line 30, change the value of Team size to whatever you want. Note you need to double the value since you have two teams, so if you want a minimum of 6 players, you need Teamsize to be 3.
