==Typical Weekly Rhythm (Example)==
 
−
''Times vary by host; always confirm in announcements.''
 
−
==How to Participate==
 
−
*'''Join a regiment''': Private events allocate slots by regiment and generally don't allow non-regimental players.
 
−
*'''Public sign-ups''': Players are not required to sign-up for public events, though it's highly encouraged that large regiments do so to help admins with balance and special allocation. Regiment leaders may get the "Events Enjoyer - Regiment" tag in the Holdfast Official Discord. See: [https://discord.com/channels/306195621373542400/613784269713834034 Enlistment]
 
  
−
*'''Be on time and ready''': Arrive early and load the server when announced.

==Hosting an Event==

Communities can host official or unofficial events. At minimum, plan for:
+
 
−
*'''Server''' – Dedicated server with stable performance and correct config (map rotation, max players, pings/regions).
+
== Overview ==
−
*'''Staff''' – Admins; clear escalation for rule breaches.
+
'''Organized Events''' are the pinnacle of the ''Holdfast'' experience. These are large-scale, coordinated battles that bring together Regiments and public players across four global regions: '''North America (NA)''', '''Europe (EU)''', '''Australia (AU)''', and '''Asia (AS)'''.
−
*'''Ruleset''' – Brief, readable, and pinned (formations, firing rules, ship limits, round/time caps).
+
 
−
*'''Sign-ups''' – Regiment headcounts, special requests (Artillery, Skirmishers, Cavalry)
+
While public servers offer continuous action, organized events provide a structured, tactical environment where every volley and maneuver is governed by community-led administration and historical discipline.
−
*'''Comms & Briefs''' – Start-time, server/password, map list, faction balance, and any mod requirements.
+
 
−
*'''After-Action''' – Screenshots, results, feedback form.
+
== Event Classifications ==
−
==Player Expectations==
+
The ''Holdfast'' community hosts several specialized event types, each requiring different tactical approaches:
−
*Follow host rules and your officer’s commands.
+
 
−
*Keep comms clear during volleys/boarding; no ear-spam.
+
<table class="wikitable" style="width:100%">

== Participation Pathways ==
 +
Participation depends on whether the event is classified as '''Public''' or '''Private'''.
 +
 
 +
* '''Public Events:''' Open to all players. Announcements are posted on the '''Event Noticeboard''' in the Official Holdfast Discord. While individual sign-ups aren't required, regiments are encouraged to register their attendance to assist admins with team balancing.
 +
* '''Private Events:''' These are restricted to registered '''Regiments'''. Recruitment and slot allocation are managed internally by unit leaders. Solo players wishing to join these high-intensity battles are encouraged to [[Crews_%26_Regiments|Enlist in a Regiment]].
 +
* '''Leadership Tags:''' Regiment leaders should request the "Events Enjoyer – Regiment" role in the Official Discord to receive priority updates on server status and sign-up windows.

</table>

 +
== Hosting & Administrative Requirements ==
 +
Communities wishing to host officially sanctioned events must ensure the following logistics are satisfied:
 +
* '''Infrastructure:''' A dedicated, high-tick-rate server with stable configuration.
 +
* '''Staffing:''' A minimum of two active admins with a clear escalation policy for rule breaches.
 +
* '''Documentation:''' A concise, publicly accessible ruleset and sign-up sheet for headcounts.
 +
* '''Logistics:''' Advanced notice of any Workshop IDs for required mods to prevent connection delays.
 +
* '''Post-Event:''' Capturing results, screenshots, and gathering feedback for future balance adjustments.
 +
 
 +
== Player Expectations ==
 +
To ensure a high-quality experience for all participants, players are expected to adhere to the following standards:
 +
* '''Tactical Discipline:''' Follow your Officer’s commands and the host’s specific rules without delay.
 +
* '''Comms Etiquette:''' Maintain clear voice channels; excessive noise ("ear-spam") is grounds for removal.
 +
* '''Professionalism:''' Griefing, teamkilling, or exploiting mechanics is strictly prohibited. Report administrative issues after the round concludes to avoid disrupting the flow of battle.
