What is it and how does it work?
Squad Wars is a clan activity where members of each squad can challenge each other to matches called Squad Wars. Squad Wars can work in many ways. You do NOT have to have everyone in each squad fight to have a squad war. Squad Wars can be 4v4 and up. When a squad wins in a squad war, they will get points. Depending on how many people participate depends on how many points the winning squad will get. Squad Wars will end once 50 points have been filled.
Why should we participate / what are the rewards?
Not only would it be fun, but there is also a nice reward for winning Squad Wars. Once 20 points have been filled in total, Squad Wars will come to and end. The squad with the most points will get the reward. If your squad wins Squad Wars, everyone in your squad will be promoted one rank! Then Squad Wars will reset, and a new game will begin.
What constitutes as a win in a squad wars game?
Squad Wars are played on the UAF server. We lock the server for the duration of the Squad War and you play by tickets. The squads play best 2 out of 3 and the winning squad gets the points.
How do I challenge?
If you want to make a challenge then first make sure that you are graduated from the academy. If you aren't sure check this roster and if your name is there then you are probaly still in the academy. Anyways, go to the squad wars challenges forum and post a challenge. Please use this template.

The Offical Universal Rules
Universal rules have been applied to Squad Wars procedures to avoid any more confusion in the future between squads. They are as follows:
1) Game map will always be Camp Gibraltar.
2) Game format will be best 2 out of 3 games. Whoever loses all CPs or tickets loses the game.
3) Squad Wars can only be scheduled if it is at least a 4vs4 game.
4) Squad wars are permanent once the date and time are agreed upon.
5) Squad CO's are encouraged to participate in squad wars but not required. In the case that a sudden change of plans prevents the CO from attending, the XO or the next highest rank will assume the in-game leadership role during the squad war.
6) Squad leaders must reveal their final roster count at least 48 hours before squad war time. Failure to do so will result in an infraction on the squad CO.
7) Both squad leaders will agree on a neutral party to flip a coin for 1st pick of PAC or EU.
8) No commanders, walkers, or vehicles. The only exception to this rule where FAVs are allowed is if the game is more than 6vs6. Otherwise, it is too much of a disadvantage for a squad of 6 to chase down an FAV by foot on such a large map and try to defend a rear CP if they are playing as EU.
9) Game will start immediately after server is restarted and tickets are reset. One reset and that is it. Players must state that they are ready BEFORE the server is restarted.
10) Any technical difficulty experienced during the squad war by one or more members in a squad will not stop the progress of the game. The game will continue to play as "man down".
11) No subs outside of the squad are allowed. Reserves can be brought in at any time during the game should a squad member have to leave or is experiencing technical difficulties.
12) All reserves need to be in the squad's TS channel awaiting a call for replacement if needed, but should remain silent in the channel unless called upon. Spectating is allowed.
13) Each game result screen shot must be captured by both squad CO's and the squad war results will be posted in the Squad Wars Results Forum by the winning CO. Should the winning CO not be able to capture one game result screen, the other squad CO should help provide the missing screenshot. Failure to capture and post the results will make squad war participation null and void.
