|title=Overview
|content=
'''Organized Events''' are the pinnacle of the Holdfast experience. These are large-scale, coordinated battles that bring together Regiments and public players across four global regions: '''North America (NA)''', '''Europe (EU)''', '''Australia (AU)''', and '''Asia (AS)'''.

While public servers offer continuous action, organized events provide a structured, tactical environment where every volley and manoeuvre is governed by community-led administration and historical discipline.

{{Release_section
|id=participation
|title=Participation Pathways
|content=
Participation depends on whether the event is classified as '''Public''' or '''Private'''.

* '''Public Events:''' Open to all players. Announcements are posted on the '''Event Noticeboard''' in the Official Holdfast Discord. While individual sign-ups aren't required, regiments are encouraged to register their attendance to assist admins with team balancing.
* '''Private Events:''' Restricted to registered Regiments. Recruitment and slot allocation are managed internally by unit leaders. Solo players wishing to join these high-intensity battles are encouraged to [[Crews & Regiments|enlist in a Regiment]].
* '''Leadership Tags:''' Regiment leaders should request the "Events Enjoyer – Regiment" role in the Official Discord to receive priority updates on server status and sign-up windows.

Communities wishing to host officially sanctioned events must ensure the following logistics are satisfied:

* '''Staffing:''' A minimum of two active admins with a clear escalation policy for rule breaches.
* '''Documentation:''' A concise, publicly accessible ruleset and sign-up sheet for headcounts.

{{Release_section
|id=expectations
|title=Player Expectations
|content=
To ensure a high-quality experience for all participants, players are expected to adhere to the following standards:

* '''Tactical Discipline:''' Follow your Officer's commands and the host's specific rules without delay.
* '''Comms Etiquette:''' Maintain clear voice channels; excessive noise ("ear-spam") is grounds for removal.
* '''Professionalism:''' Griefing, teamkilling, or exploiting mechanics is strictly prohibited. Report administrative issues after the round concludes to avoid disrupting the flow of battle.
