Squad Dueling League

1)     Registration will take place an hour before the event on a first come first served basis.   Any questions regarding the rules will be answered in this time.

3)     All Squadrons will be assigned a “home” field and will only use this field to take off/ re-arm/re-plane during each round.

4)     Each squadron is only allowed to field a maximum of 6 pilots per round.  Different pilots from the same squad are able to participate in the 2nd and 3rd rounds, pilot selection is down to the squadron C.O.  

-If a player is disconnected during a round that player will remain locked out until the next round.  If a substitute is available the C.O will have to name the replacement to the host and that player will be allowed to replace the disconnectee.

5)    Before the GO is given squadrons will be able to spawn in and taxi into a formation spread at the C.O’s discretion.  The host will give a 5 second countdown to take off when he is happy that all squadrons have spawned in correctly.

6)   When the GO GO GO is given all squadrons must climb on full power to 5k Altitude and remain level*.   ALL SQUADRONS MUST FLY TOWARDS THE CENTRE FIELD WITH UPMOST HASTE.  This is so that everyone enters the danger zone* within seconds of one another.   Any squadrons repeatedly failing to enter the danger zone in a timely manner will be penalised and or ejected from the event.

7)   As soon as the danger zone is breached by all squadrons the FIGHT IS ON and the host will start the 20 minute timer.

8)    Kills can be made anywhere on the map except the NO-FLY zones*.   These are indicated by each home field’s radar ring.  
-If a plane is extending from an enemy  attacker and enters the NO-FLY Zone the host will de-plane the attacker and if he makes the kill be deducted 2 kills from his teams total.  
-The defensive plane must land and re-plane when he returns into his NO FLY zone.  Using the NO-FLY zone as a means to clear your 6 and turn back to the fight is strictly forbidden.  FIGHT TO THE DEATH!  
-If teams find themselves being pinned towards the edge of their NO-FLY zone it is advisable to remain in the NO-FLY area until you have a number parity before pushing out.  There are no rewards for returning to base except the time lost in doing so.
 
9)    Plane selection for each of the three rounds will be published before the event and will change every month.
  * Fuel and Ammo is Squadron choice.
  * No Bombs or rockets allowed.
  * Fuel Burn is 2.0 (same as MA)

10)     The arena has a 10k cloud layer surrounded by 20k mountains and a maximum updraft, if a pilot exceeds this limit he should end flight and re-up.

11)    This is an un-limited life event for the duration of the 3x 20 minute rounds.  A short break will take place after the round so that the host can review the logs and get a rough idea of which squadron had the least amount of kills.   The elimination rule will only apply if there is a 6th squadron in waiting.

* Text chat is only allowed on squad or voice Text.
*Vox 101 will be used for registration and reserved for the Host
*Vox channels 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106 will be relevant to the “home” field each squadron is assigned to.  The host reserves the right to switch between the channels during the event.

14) No Joining planes.   Observers to the fight will be required to join channel 101 and sit in the tower at the centre field.  
-God mode will be enabled for viewing pleasure.  If you have not set this up I suggest reading the guides to do so.  
-Everyone in the arena will be required to be in squadron uniform and the arena will be locked a few minutes before the start of any rounds and opened again afterwards.  ANYONE NOT IN UNIFORM AT TIME OF LOCK WILL BE EJECTED.   It is not the hosts job to make sure of this, it is down to the C.O’s to ensure that everyone who wishes to fly and or spectate is in uniform.

15)     Icons, For the purpose of this event , the organisers suggest you highlight friendlies as RED = enemy, and squaddies as another colour such as GREEN.   To turn on Squadron Highlight press Ctrl + S.  This will serve to make the icon colours as similar to the MA  as possible whilst Killshooter will be TURNED ON  and NAME TAGS will be shown for friendly and enemy icons.   Icons will be set at 6.0k distance.
