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.

• 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.
