Regional Founders
How founding works
The standard a regional founding meets, what founders commit to, and when it all happens.
The founding standard
What a regional founding shows
A region is recognized as a regional founding when it can show all four of the following.
- Three travel-ready players, or a realistic path to fielding that number for team-format preparation.
- A named regional coordinator responsible for scheduling and communication.
- A brief written doctrine explaining how the group intends to practice, recruit, and prepare.
- A commitment to follow the national conduct and reporting expectations.
Responsibilities
What founders commit to
The work is light and it is shared. A region can have several organizers, and no single person owns a region by default.
- Publish or submit a short seasonal doctrine
- Keep in touch with the national program
- Uphold shared conduct expectations
- Help players understand the captain and roster process
- Send basic attendance, activity, or readiness updates when asked
Doctrine
Write down how your group plays
Every regional founding publishes a short doctrine. It does not need to be complex. It tells new players what to expect, and it may be featured in showcases and preparation-philosophy rivalries during the season.
Calendar
Founding runs months one through six
Regions can form, organize, and declare themselves on a rolling basis during months one through six. When the window closes, the national captain election and roster process proceed on stable ground.
