Considering coming back but have a few q's 1st

[Athena Azmadeus]

I've been considering coming back but I have a few questions first.

I just reviewed the handbook and it seems to be the same as I remember but I do not know what has changed within the division rules

1. I assume there is still a mandatory once a month division meeting on Sundays for all members?

2. From reading The Recruitment Everything Thread I am a little bit foggy on the latest time you can get into a practice late. It used to be you can get in as late as 15 min after. Is this still true or is it 5 min after?

3. Has the Small Teams rules changed? Last time I knew small teams no longer have to make any small team hours and you can have casual members within the team. Also I believe a small team can have a thread in the small teams section if they are all active members. Is this still true?

Thanks for the reply from whoever replies :mvwave:

1. There is a meeting once a month for all members (usually held on Vent since we have so many members now)

2. As long as you enter the practice during the FFA you will receive the full hour or practice.

3. As far as small teams, no hours need to be met for the small team but you do have to be an active member in order to be apart of any small team. And at the moment I believe only Team Lambda (grifball) has a sub-section in the small team / battles section.

Any more question?! :D

Thanks Night Owl. Actually I do have another one.

Can active members still run an open practice?

Also, you get credit as long as you join the beginning FFA. Back when I was active the FFA had to run 15 minutes/last until 15 after the hour. Is that still the same?

(I'm just wondering just so I don't misunderstand or mess something up when I go active)

[PMS Night Owl]

I can't answer the open practice question...I always forget if an active member can run an open practice as long as 3 active members attend that practice or if you have to be a practice captain. I'll get back to you on that one.

The FFA is 15 mintues long - as long as the FFA is going on and you join during those 15 minutes you're good. :D

Miss you! <3

BTW, I finally came back. ;)

[PMS Goosechecka]

Yeah Grifball small team!

The FFA is still 15 mins, after that 15 mins anyone who joins after doesn't receive full credit. (same as before)

Active members can run open practices but we advise any one who does to talk to our practice managers, we have a few practice rules that everyone needs to know and follow.
The only time there needs to be 3 active members in practice is for an Unscheduled Practice.

Small teams can have H2Os and Casuals, but in order to get the sub-forum all members of that team need to be active PMS members.

If you have any more questions let us know.
