Right now, group and squad creation is limited to division management teams (e.g. Generals, Division Leaders, Recruitment Managers, Experience Managers). We will make an announcement in the PMS Clan Discord server when group and squad creation is open to everyone 18 and over.

All groups and squads will be approved by the Clan Leaders. After you create your group/squad, you will receive a notification letting you know your group/squad is pending approval. The Clan Leaders receive a notification each time a group/squad is created.

You can create a group/squad on your own, partner up with other members and form a group/squad together, or just join a group/squad

Yes. All squads must follow the PMS Clan's Code of Conduct. Any squad/squad member not following the Code of Conduct may receive a warning or be removed from the website and PMS Clan Discord server.

Please read our Code of Conduct and Terms of Use for our complete rules and guidelines.

1. Register and become a member of the PMS Clan website by clicking on the purple "Register/Log In" button in the top right corner of the page.

2. Look at our list of Groups/Squads and join the one that interests you the most. A Squad Leader or Recruitment Manager will reach out to you with further instructions about their recruitment process.

3. Register a Discord account if you do not already have one. Discord is the primarly day to day communication and coordination between players and groups.

4. Post an introduction post in our Discord server “Welcome” channel or jump into another channel and connect with others.

A squad is pretty much the same as a division, but with more flexibility and creative freedom in its creation and management:

• The rules and structure of the squads are dependant on the squad’s owner and admins rather than a clan-wide structure. Squad Leaders will decide:

• Whether or not to manage or log hours/sessions

• Whether or not to have squad staff

• Whether or not to have their own staff and squad handbooks

• Whether or not to recruit and what the recruitment process will be

• What their squad will be:

  • Casual

  • Structured

  • Competitive

  • Streaming/Content gaming group

  • Podcast group

  • Etc.

• Multiple squads can center around the same games

• People can be a part of and manage multiple squads

No, this community is focused on inclusivity for all and aims to be a home for all players who believe in our mission. We are a women's diversity group, so it’s important that women know who the other women are, so anyone that self identifies as female is referenced as PMS Clan and others as PMS Clan Ally. But we are one clan and play, compete and support each other.

Descrption

Squads are more focused on gaming with others (much like divisions), while groups are non-gaming related:

• art group

• book club

• cooking class/club (*hint* *hint* H2O Gir)

• podcast about gaming

• etc.

Any kind:

• Replicate the division structure

• Competitive

• Casual

• Multi game

• Podcast group

• Streaming group

• Mentorship group

• Etc.

After you have registered an account on our forums you can submit an application

There will be a team of moderators, including the Generals, who will oversee the squads. Much like how we oversee the divisions and community now, moderators/Generals will have access to squad channels (Discord) and squad pages (website) and report any squad member/squad found to be breaking our Code of Conduct.

Right now, group and squad creation is limited to division management teams (e.g. Generals, Division Leaders, Recruitment Managers, Experience Managers). We will make an announcement in the PMS Clan Discord server when group and squad creation is open to everyone 18 and over.

All groups and squads will be approved by the Clan Leaders. After you create your group/squad, you will receive a notification letting you know your group/squad is pending approval. The Clan Leaders receive a notification each time a group/squad is created.

You can create a group/squad on your own, partner up with other members and form a group/squad together, or just join a group/squad.

PMS Clan is a diversity group of women gamers and PMS Clan Ally (PMSA) are our allies and advocates that help us create a more inclusive environment. It’s important that women know who the other women are in our clan so anyone that self identifies as female is referenced as PMS Clan and others as PMS Clan Ally. We are one clan. This community is focused on inclusivity for all and we support every individual and diversity group to pursue their passion and interests in gaming.

The core reason you should join is being part of an awesome community that’s doing something special. That said members of our clan do get a few benefits:

1. Opportunities to join volunteer roles to develop real world skills in leadership, marketing, design, editorial, live streaming, etc.

2. Access Member Only sections of our forums and Discord channels

Any group and squad that has at least 8 or more (subject to change) members will be given their own category and channels within the PMS Clan Discord server. Unfortunately, because we are limited to 500 channels/categories, as we get more and more squads, squads will get first dibs on space.

The division channels will be removed; however, some of the active game channels will remain for people to LFG and recruit for their squads. Any channels that are inactive for a month or more will be removed.

All divisions will be phased out; however, divisions can stay together by creating a squad.

We’re currently in the process of rebuilding active divisions or teams so if we don’t currently host a division on your game there are a couple of opportunities. To qualify as an “active” Squad each game must have at minimal 8 people. Launching a Squad is the easiest way to join our leadership team as growing our support on games is something we value highly.

If you would like to create an active division in the clan you can:

1. Post in discord server to find members that play that game and gauge interest.

2. Recruit on other platform and game related forums for members to play with.

Yes! Much like divisions, groups and quads can have events, organize mixers with other groups/squads, ask the Community Engagement Team (CET) to help with a community event, etc.

If you want to have a community event, fill out this Event Request form. A CET member will reach out to help and your event will be added to our event calendar.

Absolutly not! While a key initiative for us is to raise the profile of competitve women we are a group in general that supports all players from all backgrounds. Any clan member is welcome to join game sessions and other activites.

Go to your profile page, click the 3 vertical dots next to your name, and then click on your name to edit it

Competitive play comes from small teams within the clan and requires ranked matchmaking, ladders or tournaments to qualify as a competitive team. You can join an existing small team or recruit your own and then register it with the clan. As a small team you can get access to streaming/hosting from our channel, promotion from the clan. Small teams that rank high in competitions may get additional assistance based on performance. Your recruitment manager can help answer more questions.

We are currently focused on rebuilding small teams that are competing in ladders and online tournaments. At the height of our competitive activity PMS Clan had dozens of teams competing professionally all around the world. We are now re-activating our competitive roots and you’ll see most of our upcoming initiatives will be focused along the competitive play and particularly on raising the profiles of competitive women gamers.

While PMS Clan is building up initiatives to promote and support players and teams, we are not actively sponsoring at this time and make no promise to do so. These initiatives can be expected to take some time. You should not join PMS Clan on the sole premise of obtaining sponsorship, you should join because you care about our mission. That said, we do want to know what top talent is out there. Those that do support our mission and feel they have the skill set to compete at the top level should join and speak to your recruitment manager or email recruitment@pmsclan.com

Yes, it’s important that we strive to make our community as safe, respectful and as inclusive as possible. We ask that all members, prospective recruits and community members read our code of conduct and harassment policies closely.
