Post !!! n00bfest SUBCLAN RULES AND REGULATIONS !!!
OK, people... it's time to start taking our subclan business serious. Eventually, n00bfest subclans will become a competitive league. I know a lot of people use the current "clan" setup as a way to setup a sort of club or hangout for their gaming buddies. It's still going to be fine to let people have your channel passwords, and you can give people access to your forums if you choose. However, the official ROSTER for your team will need to be posted in this forum here, WITH STEAM IDs.

RULES:
1. A clan's roster must have at least 5 members, and cannot exceed 13. A limit of 13 official members will be enforced strictly.

2. Roster changes must be posted in the roster thread BEFORE the new member plays in matches. Violations or RINGING can cause your clan to be punished with a player deduction (you might get penalized down to 7 players max or something).

3. Clan-hopping will not be tolerated. If you change teams from one to another, you will NOT be allow to join another clan for a minimum of 6 months. If you form a clan and abandon it/disband it, you will not be able to start or co-lead another clan for a minimum of 6 months.

4. Clans do not have to wear the [n00b] tag if they don't want to. Members of a clan do NOT have to be [n00b] members or [rct] members. You can form your own clan here without being affiliated with the [n00b] clan itself.

More rules will follow, to clarify how the clans should conduct themselves and what the expectations will be. Basically, we want to stop the clan whoring, and the super-mega-clan-building activity. We end up with people jumping from one clan to the next, clans merging into giant clans, and other clans hogging all the good players.

We want LOTS of smaller clans, instead of a few mega clans. The only way we'll get those clans is to establish rules and limits to the subclans.

In the thread called "Clan Rosters", we need your official membership list by Saturday night at 10pm Eastern. Any clans without a posted roster by 10pm will be stripped to a moderator only, and you'll have to add your 12 players carefully and post their names when you do it.

You can have as many people as you want in your forums, but those people will be encouraged to create more and more subclans instead of lurking as wanna-bees in your group.

All times for joining/re-joining clans is reset to 0 on Saturday night. Changes that take place before the final rosters are posted Saturday night at 10pm will not be counted as changes at all. It's a fresh slate.

Just as an aside, there might be reasons you don't want everyone in the world looking in your forums if you get a smaller and more competitive group. Also, there might come a time when the roster-listed people are the only people allowed to be in the group, and the group might be moderated by a site admin similar to some of the professional leagues.

PUGs are a whole different thing, and people just pickup players in Ventrilo and giddy-up. We should probably create a PUG-1 and PUG-2 channel in the Ventrilo server so people can go in there to get organized. PUGs are still a free-for-all and those don't count either. Just don't go forming a KtK PUG group because that's just a way to cheat the rules.

We want players to step up as leaders and form clans. Recruit and tryout members and make a clan. Then scrim other clans, ask for training, ask for help, and join leagues. Be a real clan. Sooner or later, the n00bfest clans will be pit against each other in tournaments. Every clan will be expected to be active enough to turn-out 5 players for that tournament.

These clans are turning serious.

Good recommendations would help them get into a new clan, but they still can't go hopping around from clan to clan.

Once they jump and find a new home, they need to stay there, or be labelled as a clan whore and banned from n00bfest clans and leagues.
