Contact! - Offseason Battle
How it works
In anticipation, we have selected two commanders with previous experience in commanding teams either in tournaments or other competitive scrims. Two teams will be built from those who sign up on this thread under the leadership of these two commanders only for this particular scrim. The commanders will be responsible for preparing a deployment in advance of the battle as well as directing it with help of their squad leaders, hopefully promoting both communication and coordination across the whole team.
Only one map will be played out of a pool of 3 maps and it will be announced to the commanders only 2 hours in advance of the battle.
In order to play you can sign up one of three ways: as an individual, as a group of up to 3 men or as a full squad of 6 men plus 2 reservists. More information on that below.
Teamspeak presence on the day of the battle is mandatory. We advise you to be on it at least half an hour before the scheduled battle start so that the commanders can inform you of the deployment plan and for us to sort any last minute issues that may arise.
