You are allowed to withdraw up to 10 days prior to the scheduled match.

Does "up to" here mean "not later than"? Thank you very much in advance!

at most

Explanation:
"Up to" means at most, the greatest possible amount of days in this context

This phrase means that it is possible to withdraw 20 or 10 days before the match, but not later. I am guessing that withdrawing less than 10 days before the match would mean a technical defeat, sanctions, etc.

"not later than" would fit here perfectly. Sorry for missing the second sentence
