Welcome to Rally Up

1. Sign in with Google or Discord on the home page.
2. Join your guild. Most people get in via an invite link from a guild admin. You can also browse public guilds at the discovery page.
3. Once you're in a guild, the home page shows that guild's upcoming events.

You can only be in one guild at a time. To move, leave the current one first.

• Match events (Shadowfront and similar) — two squads, each with their own start time, leadership slots, and a starting roster plus backups.
• Scrim events — a 1-vs-1 challenge between your guild and another guild. Single squad, one start time, and a declared winner when it's over. See the Scrimmage events section below.
• Simple events — info-only entries on the calendar (a meeting, an announcement, a watch party). No signup form; just a date and details.

Open the event from the home page. The signup form has three things:

1. Squad preference (first choice). Pick the squad you most want to play on. If your first choice is full, admins try to place you on the other.
2. Willing to be a backup. On by default. Backups fill in when a starter drops. Uncheck this if you only want to play with a guaranteed starting slot.
3. Request a leadership position (optional). Leaders coordinate the squad during the match. Admins assign leaders from the requests; you can leave a short note about why you'd like the role.

Hit Sign Up. You can come back and change any of these answers up until signups close.

When you look at the squad rosters, you'll see one of these next to each name:

• Player — on the starting roster.
• Backup — on the backup roster; plays only if a starter drops.
• Leader — chosen by an admin to lead the squad.
• Waitlist — all squad and backup slots were full when you signed up. You're promoted automatically if someone drops.
• Wants Leader — a player who asked for the role; an admin will pick from these.

A scrim is your guild against another guild. The event page works the same as a match — sign up, pick backup willingness, optionally request leadership — but with a few differences worth knowing:

• One squad only. There's no Squad 1 vs Squad 2 pick — your guild fields a single lineup against the opponent.
• The opponent is shown at the top of the event page, along with the Condition of Win the two admins agreed on. Read it before the match — it's how the winner gets determined.
• Result chip. Once the match is done and an admin declares the result, you'll see a colored chip on the event page: Won, Lost, Draw, or No contest (for forfeits or disconnects).
• History. See your guild's upcoming and past scrims on the scrim history page. W/L is from your guild's perspective.

Only your guild's admin can propose, accept, or cancel a scrim — you just sign up like any other event. If a scrim is cancelled before it happens, the event disappears from your home page and your signup is hidden (admins still keep the record for attendance history).

Duels are 1-vs-1 challenges between two players. They're separate from match events and scrims — no roster, no signup form, just two people agreeing on a time and rules.

• Find opponents on the player discovery page. It lists everyone on your same server who has opted into being discoverable. Filter by power tier, guild, or name. Click any player's name to see their full profile — rating, record, and complete duel history.
• Each player can set a self-reported power tier from I to XIII on their My Account page. The tier reflects your in-game character progression and helps opponents see if a matchup will be fair. Set yours so others can find you at your level.
• Click Challenge on a player card to propose a duel. Pick the time, the location (Kruger, Cerno, Kanvo, Sphinx, or a custom map), and the Condition of Win — agree the rules clearly because they're tied to the declared result.
• When someone challenges you, the duel shows up under Incoming challenges on your duels page. You can Accept, Decline, or Edit to counter-propose different terms. The proposer can withdraw at any time before the duel is accepted.
• Either player can edit a pending proposal — change the time, location, win condition, or message. Whoever sets the latest terms can't accept their own changes; the other side has to confirm. Counter-proposals can ping-pong until somebody accepts what's on the table.
• After the duel, either player declares the result on the duel page: I won, I lost, Draw, or No contest (for forfeits or disconnects). The first player to submit locks it in for both sides. Wins and losses update your ELO rating; no contest counts as a duel but doesn't affect ratings.
• Your ELO rating starts at 1000 and moves up or down depending on the duel result and the opponent's rating. Beating a higher-rated player gains more points; losing to a lower-rated player costs more. Your record (W-L-D) and rating show on your player card.
• Once you've played at least 3 confirmed duels, you appear on the server leaderboard ranked by rating. Top spots get gold/silver/bronze chips. Your own rank shows even when you're outside the top 25.
• After the duel result is declared, both players can leave a 👍 or 👎 about the opponent. Aggregates appear as a percentage on each player's card once they have at least 5 ratings. One rating per duel, locked after submit.
• See your full duel history (upcoming, past, declined, withdrawn, cancelled) on the duels page. Result chips show W/L/D/NC from your perspective.
• If you've signed in with Discord at least once, the bot can DM you about duel events — incoming challenges, accepted, declined, cancelled, and result-declared. Toggle this in My Account. If you have DMs disabled from server members in your Discord settings, the bot can't reach you.
• You can turn off duel discoverability in My Account to hide from the discovery page and block incoming challenges. Your guild-internal experience is unaffected.

• If your guild has the Discord bot set up, the bot posts reminders 1 day, 1 hour, and 20 minutes before each event in your guild's chosen channel.
• Every event page has a Download .ics link for adding the event to your calendar.
• Discord slash commands: /upcoming lists your guild's upcoming events, and /signup lets you sign up without leaving Discord. You have to sign in to the website with Discord at least once first, so the bot can match your account.

If your guild has the Discord bot in your server, you can use these commands from any text channel where the bot is allowed to see and post.

First-time use: you need to have signed in to the website with Discord at least once so the bot can link your Discord ID to your guild account. If you haven't, the bot will tell you what to do.

New slash commands take up to about 1 hour to appear in Discord the first time after the bot is added to a server. After that, they're instant.

The form turns into a "Signups are closed" message. Reach out to a guild admin if you need to be added late — they can adjust signups manually.
