    --> Who We Are

    CTF Match Spotlight is a community project dedicated to providing coverage and analysis of CTF matches. We gather the latest information from the CTF team scene, in order to provide a new insight into the community. We aim to provide this through YouTube livestreams, YouTube videos, commentating, match reports, interviews and detailed analysis of the CTF matches we cover. We try to prioritize official and event matches over unofficial matches. We provide all of this information through a biweekly newsletter, usually released on a friday, with information on the matches from the last 2 weeks, as well as the predictions for the fore coming weeks. With all of this information, we hope to cater to the taste of as many in the community as possible, whether they prefer a written report or to watch a stream. Our ultimate goal is to cover and gain information and insight on every single official match possible! As well as providing a constant stream of new information for the community, we hope that these newsletters will also serve as an archive of previously recorded and easily obtainable information.

    --> Roles

    At CTF Match Spotlight, we realize that not everyone is willing or able to provide information in all of the ways listed above. This could be because they don't have time to write up a written report on a match, or perhaps they simply don't want to install recording software on their computer. As a result, we've compiled a list of different roles so that not only can you help the community out by performing a role well, but you can also enjoy doing it! Through this we aim to be a user friendly group performing as a biweekly news team! Each individual is important, but of course we require many roles to work together to create the finished document. The roles we currently have are listed and explained below. Please be aware we may add more roles at any time, for example if we were to provide information in a new way. Additionally, roles can stack, for example a recorder could also be a commentator! You can cover as many roles as you wish (and can adequately perform!)

    -=+Leader [L]:

    A leader's job varies depending on which role they lead. A leader is placed in charge of a department, for example commentator, with the aim of organizing the other members within this group. Certain roles would ideally have a moderator as a leader, as they have additional permissions and can set average players in spectator mode. The leading recorder, for example, would ideally be a moderator so they can set other recorders into spectator mode for matches. Leaders work with the active group in their department to perform that role to the best of their ability!

    (You cannot apply for this role)

    -=+Streamer [ST]:

    Streamers are some of the most important roles. They stream matches to the CMS YouTube Channel. You are required to have a decent computer and internet to stream the match with smooth frames and decent graphics. Only trusted members can become streamers that are approved by the leaders of the CTF Spotlight Team.

    -=+Commentator [C]:

    Commentators team with streamers/recorders to aid in the recordings of matches. They point out mechanics, plays, rule breaks, questionable events, and overall anything that might spark interest in the match. A microphone is required for this role.

    -=+Writer [W]:

    The goal of a writer is to select specific matches, spectate, and to take down and write highlights of specific matches. They are supposed to work with recorders to get their point of view and interviewers to get interviews on the match. Only one writer will be needed per match, but obviously there can be multiple writers filling the position, since this won't exactly be a easy job. You will need to be consistent with your work and be able to submit articles on time. Teamwork is key.

    -=+Interviewer [IN]:

    Interviewers will create questions and take exact quotes from interviews that they conduct. The idea is to interview players/teams before and after CTF matches, and ask them questions that may pertain to a team's plans, roster changes, moods, and related. The interviewers should take exact quotes from the interviews they conduct, and then work with writers to format these into a cohesive report of the match.

    -=+Analyst [A]:

    The job of an analyst is to predict future matches results, teams roster, and overall relevant things in the CTF team scene. Analysts should work together yet feel competitive to share their input with the community. Analysts should always act courteous to other teams though, and refrain from throwing shade, and should be appropriate/on topic with their comments. For example, let's say that Team A vs Team B is going to occur next week. As an analyst, I would say that both teams are good, although Team A recently has been showing more success, and has been able to beat teams that Team B hasn't been able to. They should feel free to guess scores to, and have a friendly competitive nature with other analysts to try to be more precise then the others.

    -=+Recorder [R]:

    The job of a recorder is to record matches with commentators. The requirements of a recorder is to have recording software, and slight editing capabilities/appropriate timing on footage. A recorder can also be classified as a commentator, although a microphone is not needed to be a recorder, unlike a commentator. If you apply for this role, please give link to your channel/footage showing that you can offer quality footage with minimal lag and decent editing capabilities. Recorders will not always need commentators, but commentators may be more helpful/usually give a more interesting point of view. Note: We currently only require a recorder when there’s absolutely nobody around streaming the match.

    As CTF Match Spotlight progresses, more roles may be added to allocate additional room for players, and a larger variety of roles.

    --> Applications

    Here at CTF Match Spotlight, we have requirements for not only the roles, but in general. We require that you have knowledge about the CTF Teams System, and how it works. We want CTF Match Spotlight to be a opportunity towards many members in the community, not a elitist group only letting in specific players. If we feel that you do not have enough experience, please refer to the links above, and feel free to ask questions to myself and other experienced CTF players. If you are denied from the CTF Spotlight Team due to experience, you are always allowed to spectate matches that both teams give consent to. Discord is required as it is our main and only communication platform.

    --> Team Consent and Spectator Rules

    For the average player to receive spectator perms, they will need consent from both teams playing in the specified match. To make this rule more convenient, we will be gathering a list of teams that have allowed consent to spectate/record matches, prior to the match. This will relieve stress on both spectators and representatives alike. Teams will be allowed blacklists for individuals that they do not want to be present, and if an individual is on the blacklist for a team, they cannot spectate / record matches for that team unless taken off. Please note that if a team sets a spectator limit, please understand that the CTF Spotlight Team has priority over normal spectators, unless otherwise noted.

    We have a few rules to our spectators to try to benefit the teams additionally. These benefits include our "No call" policy, which means that our spectators will not call out rule breaks, and instead leave it to the mods. This ensures that no false calls occur.

    Our other rule is that spectators DO NOT type in all chat, unless it is a simple command like /gg or such. Off topic events may result in a mute by moderators.

    Currently all official teams have given consent to CTF Match Spotlight meaning any of our individuals (unless blacklisted) has permission to stream, record, analyze, write about, etc. their matches.
