If in doubt a couple of clips from the tod rules........................ ............
Channel 1 will not be used for an event except by TOD C.O.'s or CM's.
All events will be "one life" events, with approximate running time from 1 to 2 hours.
6. Launching:
All TOD frames will begin 5 minutes after the hour according to the time piece of the setup CM, regardless if C.O.'s are ready or not.
From launch time (5 minutes after the hour) to 15 minutes after the hour (10 minutes total) players may reup for any reason. If a player or players crash on take off or drop live ordance on a runway destroying many in their squad they may reup without question till 15 minutes after the hour.
At 15 minutes after the hour fields will close and "only" discos may request reup's. Discos may reup till 30 minutes after the hour. After 30 minutes all fields will stay closed. No one will be allowed to reup.
Clear enough??????????????????????
Wait, there is more
............................. .......
Pilots will be responsible for the following:
Squadron CO:
Behavior of his pilots during the event.
Assuring that pilots in his squadron are fully aware of their duties and responsibilities in relation to the TOD event.
Pilots:
Report for the frame at an appropriate time, (on the hour or before). The frame will start 5 minutes after the hour whether C.O.'s are ready or not.Take steps to find out plane/field/orders assignments for the frame. Be familiar and always obey by the rules of the event........................ ...................
What isn't directly said, but is implied, is that we ALL should act like reasonable, responsible, gentlemanly human beings.
I apoligise for anything I said that may have upset anyone. But I will not stand still for a squad badgering a CM.
Make sure each squad member & guests have read it.
For those who can't find it I'll post the whole thing here as a txt file.
