How to Join
Band of Brothers


 

The Band of Brothers has now switched to a sponsor system for joining the club. The only way to gain entry into Band of Brothers is to get a current member to sponsor you.

Any Band of Brothers member that has received a ranking score and is not being sponsored himself, may sponsor a person for membership in the club by emailing Jim Young a.ka. Ranger503 the new Adjutant to the BOB President - Kilroy. The e-mail must include a brief description of how the current member knows the person and the “Big 4”:

 

1) The new person's real name

2) Proposed BoB Name

3) His location

4) E-mail address. 

 

This helps Jim Young track all new members through the probationary period described below.  Next, Jim will e-mail the new player and his sponsor the instructions on how to join EZ-Board so we can make the new member’s proposed BoB name official.  Once accepted to EZ Board, the new member sends Ranger and his sponsor an e-mail stating this has been done.  Kilroy will then enter the new player into the BAR allowing the new player to register games.  This is a perfect time for the sponsor to introduce the new member to the troops in the Open Discussion Forum.

Once admitted there will be a two month probationary period for the new member during which the sponsor is responsible for the new member's actions. If the new member causes problems its the sponsor's responsibility to set the new member straight. At the end of two months the new member's club participation will be reviewed and assuming there have been no problems the sponsorship will be dropped and the new member becomes a full member of the club.

Now, if you are still interested in becoming a member just go to our "List of Members" page using the link to the left. There is a column on the list labeled "Sponsor",  it it says "Yes" than that member would be willing to sponsor you. Just pick one of them, click on his nickname, and email him your desire to join up and request a game. If the member you have chosen is unable to play for any reason just move on to another one. I'm sure you'll have a game going in no time and on your way to becoming a member of the club
