Mission Statement: Is to attend events with friends while having a fun, honest and safe time.

Leadership: There is no formal leadership organization. Decisions that have to be made will be made by the membership as a whole via timely and specific vote polls on the forum or membership meetings.

• Event Leadership: Will be voluntary and typically will be those members who brought the event to the teams attention. The leader will be responsible for organizing the registration efforts and setting team registration deadlines. If you want to go with the team have your paperwork and money in by the deadline or you take care of yourself. Event Leaders are not babysitters. The event leader has the ability to decide who registers under the SC Roadkill name and will be responsible for anyone who isn’t a RK member.

• Squads: RK has no formal squad structure but members are invited to establish ad hoc squads as they see fit based on playing style and need.

Voting: The normal method of making decisions will be via polls on the RK Private forum. When needs arise that members feel there needs to be a decision made a debate thread will be opened and when a significant portion of the debaters are to the point a decision needs to be made a poll shall be set. These polls will be worded to allow only “yes” or “no” votes and will be of a duration no less then 7 days. In addition the member who establishes the poll will send an e-mail to all members to inform them of the poll. When voting in person the same criteria will apply.

Business Association: SC Roadkill will not be associated with any business endeavor in name or fact. This means that no member may use the SC Roadkill team or name of the team, to promote or sponsor any business or event outside of the team. The only exception would be if the team decided to sponsor an event or charity this being determined by vote.

Recruitment: Roadkill is always looking for talent, so if you think you have what it takes, and would like to join up, read on...

• You must be recognized by at least one active member, and that member must announce to the membership the he is sponsoring you. We are only seeking very solid honest players that will fit in with the existing membership and seeks to have fun and be safe. You may not even know that you’ve been sponsored since this may bias your normal actions. So your best chance of getting sponsored is to play naturally to your skills and be fun to be around. Recruits have the right to be registered under the RK name but are the responsibility of the Sponsor.

• You then enter a probation period. This is where the balance of the RK members will evaluate your skills, spirit, personality, patience and maturity. We haven’t had many players wash out during this period. Probation lasts a minimum 2 major scenario events but may take longer.

• Your sponsor may then nominate you to membership and call for a vote. Any active member voting “nay”, for any reason, and you are either rejected, or your sponsor may elect to work with you to refine the problem. Once a sponsor calls for a vote for membership a poll will be posted on the RK Private Forum with duration of seven day. In addition the sponsor will send a broadcast e-mail to all active members to announce there is a membership vote on the forum. To be accepted as a member there must be no “nay” votes. If there are any “nay” votes the sponsor must decide if he wishes to continue to sponsor the player for a chance at a future vote.

Membership: As member, you will be issued Official South Carolina Roadkill Member Patches and Our “Colors” a yellow jersey with the RK name on the front and your name or nick name on the back. These Jerseys stand out nicely for judging during awards and pictures. We do have some special jersey for use during play, but in general, we opt to blend in.

• “OLD ROADKILL DO NOT DIE, THEY JUST FADE AWAY” – We are a fairly mature team. Many members are married, many with kids. So attendance capabilities come and go – so our expectations are a bit more lax than a tournament team. To maintain on the ACTIVE RK roster you must attend at least one RK sanctioned event in the last year. If you can not meet this requirement you will be moved to the INACTIVE RK roster. There is only one way to loose your RK Membership and that is to dishonor the team in anyway. This is purely subjective decision based on the opinions of the remainder of the Membership this takes only a majority vote of the ACTIVE RK membership present to be booted off the team. The offending member will be allowed to plead their case if and only when they can arrange 3 Active RK Members to reopen the issue and sponsor a re-vote. At that time the offending member may try to plead their case.

• Dues – There are no mandatory dues required for membership. At times there will be requests for donations from the team members to support recruitment, membership items like Patches and Jerseys and for donation to sanctioned good causes. Any donations are purely voluntary and no undue pressure will be placed on any member by the membership to contribute.

• Communication – Each member is responsible by the end of their first year of membership to provide their own radio equipment that is compatible with the RK radio standard.

Annual Scenario Games List – This list is to be posted and administered by one member volunteer (List Attendant). The intent of this list is to provide a place listing all of the events a significant portion of the membership intends on attending.

• Events may be added when a minimum of 3 members express interest and intent on attending. This will be submitted to the current List Attendant for addition the Annual Scenario Games List.
