Slotting and Connecting

Slotting

Slotting is done in a myriad of ways and is ultimately up to the event designer(s).

Events Website Slotting

The events website utilizes your steam account to reserve slots for an event. Once logged in, you're greeted with a "Posted Events" list.

Clicking an event allows you to see pertinent information about the event and available slots. Click the green "Take Slot" button slots you into that role.

Google Sheets Slotting

Google sheets can be utilized to allow communities to pre-plan team/squad/platoon reservation prior. The #community-leaders channel will announce the slotting prior so that community leaders can reserve elements as needed.

Connecting

On event day, we conduct staggered slotting to ensure the server doesn't implode in on itself. Regardless of when the event starts, slotting begins 45 minutes prior.
