Operation: Hammer Strike

On August 4th, almost 103 years ago in 1914, the German Army
crossed the border in to Belgium, thus marking the start of what
would be known as World War One and after 4 years of fighting, over
17 million deaths.
Operation will begin August 2nd

Operation Outline:
- The designated game mode is Conquest
- It is a Round Robin competition
- The operation will be played in 8 rounds with 2 games played each
match
- BTS will oversee the matches that are played.
- All vanilla maps will be played (Giants Shadow Included)
- Maps will be chosen at random
- All dates for the operation are set. There will be no change in dates
unless under extreme circumstances.
- If a SS member believes that a date MUST be changed then they
must message their direct CoC at least 48 hours prior to the match.
The BTS will then discuss the reasons and will either reject or accept
the date change. Should the date be changed then all SS will be
notified of this change at least 24 hours before the match date.
- The operation will be run using a point system. The following
results shown below will receive the allocated amount of points;
- Match Win = 2 points
- Match Tie = 1 point
- Game Win = 0.5 points
- Game Tie = 0.5 points
This means that each squad will earn points regardless if they win or
tie a game/match. The squad with the most points by the end of the
operation will win. If some squads have the same amount of points
then they shall play again to decide who wins.

Operation Rules:
- Team sizes will be 10 players.
- If a team is unable to reach the 10 player maximum then they will
be supplied with a random member from the IN squad (Chosen by
the IN SS)
- If a team is unable to reach the 10-player limit even with IN
members supplied. They WILL need to play with what they have. (It
will be up to the SS of the other team if they wish to have more of
their members sit out to make the teams even)
- All members of the squad that must sit out of the game will be
permitted to watch the game using spectator mode. (It will be up to
the SS to ensure that their members do not relay information to the
squad of the other teams location)
- Members who do not wish to spectate the game are also permitted
to join a squad that is not playing a match for that night.
- SS can swap out team members for those that are currently
spectating. However this can only be done between matches and they
must notify the BTS who is running the match prior to the round
starting.
- There are no restrictions on weapons
- No restrictions on vehicles
- Members are permitted to stream their match using websites such
as Twitch. No recording made of the matches by spectators are
allowed to be shared among the squads while the operation is active,
to ensure that no team gains an advantage or disadvantage.

Tie/Bye/Disqualifying Rules:
- TG rules regarding glitches will be adhered to at all times. Breaking
this will result in BTS investigation and may result the offending
team receiving a loss or being disqualified
- All competing teams must be present by 8pm EST (Practice start). If
no SS are present by 8:10pm EST then their squad will forfeit the
match and the opposing team will receive the win.
- A BYE will be issued if an unforseen Federal Holiday or any other
major event, which will cause the majority of a squads members to
not attend (see the Operation Outline for how to begin this process)
- If a match runs over practice time then the team that is currently
winning shall be declared the victor of that game if they are winning
by 100 points or more.
- If the teams are close on score by practice end then the match will
be declared a tie unless both squads want to continue fighting past
practice time to gain a definitive victor. (Should this happen any
member who need to leave may do so, even if teams become uneven
then the game will still go ahead.

Meritorious Service on the Battlefield , as well as the
