Overview of Team Guidelines and Setup

• The importance of preparing for team participation and compliance with guidelines is emphasized.

PowerPoint Presentation

• A PowerPoint was created to outline rules and guidelines:

  • Focused on simplifying the main points instead of overwhelming detail.

  • Included key elements such as:

    • Overall Rules

    • Student Eligibility Requirements

    • Guidelines specific to the Team Captain and player identity.

Team Naming Guidelines

• Importance of confirming team names:

  • Discussion on not using school mascots such as the 'Trojans'.

  • Contacted NFHS (National Federation of State High School Associations) for clarity on naming conventions.

  • Clarified that the team can use the name 'Trojans' since the school is listed with the NFHS.

Team Composition and Registration

• Team registration conditions discussed:

  • A minimum of 4 sign-ups needed for participation in competitions.

  • Students can participate in multiple events but should be limited to 2 or 3 to avoid overcommitment.

  • Discussion on Play Versus registration:

    • Students need active accounts to participate.

    • Plans to assist students in registering at the event.

Competition Rules and Formats

• Specific rules drafted for various team games:

  • General Competition Rules

    • Each team can only compete for one title per schedule.

    • Recommendations for limiting student participation in multiple teams.

  • Individual Game Rules Prepared

    • Mario Kart: Basic rules, structure, selection, penalties, situation dynamics.

    • Smash Ultimate: Similar structure applied as in Mario Kart.

    • Zone Wars: Acknowledged lack of clarity due to ongoing game testing and bugs.

Compliance and Broadcasting

• Noted compliance considerations:

  • Ensure music levels are zero during any live streams to avoid copyright issues.

  • Need to clarify precautions surrounding game bugs and minimum player requirements.

Grade Check Protocol

• Proposal for a grade check among team members:

  • Suggested process includes tracking grades, missing assignments, and teacher comments.

  • Emphasis on student responsibility for their academic performance.

  • Considered using a standardized form for ease of completing grade checks efficiently:

    • Fields for class, teacher, grade, comments, and teacher signature.

• Intent to ask for existing templates or create a simple form for the students.
