Having been founded in late October of 2012 by a police officer named Cop, the Thursday NA Line-Battle has been around for some time. This line-battle event will be hosted every Thursday at 8pm EST on Thundersnows_Events (Thanks to Thunder for letting me use the server. Bluefang hosts the server so please check them out!). The battle will consist of two maps where the team with the best 2 of 3 will win the map, at the end of the 2nd map a fun round or 3rd custom map may be used pending admin decision. This is to create a quick game-play with short rounds, that way regiments involved will get more playtime with shorter rounds. In other words, less waiting and more fighting.
Expectation & Ruleset
Regiment leaders will join the administration teamspeak (ts.22nd.eu). At 7:50pm EST the server info will be handed out to the regiment leaders present.
General Expectations:Officers and NCOs are responsible for enforcing the event rules within their ranks. Failure to do so will result in the entire regiment being punished. All regiments must agree that they understand and intend to follow the event rules before they are allowed to attend. Violation of any written event rule will result in an automatic slay. This is your warning. Postponing defeat will result in an automatic slay.
For the following numbers, officers are included in the maximum/minimum;

Contacts
The administration TS will be running 15 minutes before 8, so feel free to contact me via TS.
The administration Teamspeak is ts.22nd.eu. Always check the topic before asking a question, we can help with clarification! Make sure you are at least 10 minutes early for the server information. We are not looking for administrators, due to the fact that the server is used for many events.
Steam contacts, you and a second contact must have them added.
