Warfare Event Policy

Warfare Elitism Policy
IFA's policy towards elitism is as follows:

IFA is anti-elitist by nature. We actively train newcomers into fighters and leaders competent enough to win defenses. We allow servicemember to attend defenses as long as they have attended a defensive training before.

Defenses
IFA does first-come-first-serve at any non-fairzone base as often as possible. All defenders must be in the proper voice communications channel before joining a defense server. According to Warfare Department's Event Policy, attendees must be able to verify they can hear the host/defense leader. If an attendee fails comms check or VC check, they should be promptly kicked from the game.

Defense leaders may choose to dismiss servicemembers who have never attended a defense, defense simulation, or defense training before.

Defense leaders, especially Dragonguard defense leaders, are permitted to rally prior to scheduled defenses and pick the team they want to defend with.

After an event has started, defense leaders are only permitted to sub (replace) players who are not following orders, have gone AFK (including leaving the voice channel for any reason), are purposely throwing, or need to leave during the event.

Raids
Raid leaders will always rally at Sareva Falls prior to deploying. Raid leaders will pick a competent team of listeners and microphones before deploying. This is because raids and scrimmages are often much more difficult and require more communication than defenses.

DTs, D-SIMs
These are training and practice events so it makes no sense to dismiss members for competitive reasons. Note that all teams need a mic leader otherwise no experience is gained during D-SIMs.

Dragonguard
IFA Dragonguard is allowed to dismiss and sub in members at Dragonguard events as the competitive clanning elites division of IFA is expected to use elitism as a necessary evil.
