This part of the Jedi Guardians Guidebook contains the procedure on how to host Guardian Events properly so that all events are maintained and properly conducted without issue. This page is very important, containing vital information that helps individuals know how to hold these certain events.
(Note: Upon beginning the tryout the host must go over their own ground rules for the tryout like no igniting saber, using PTS, etc. There is a 2 strike system in place during Guardian tryouts. If attendees get a question wrong or behave accordingly or break your rules, they may get struck. Once they reach 2 strikes, they are dismissed. Tryouts are posted in #events. Elite Knight+ can assist with the tryout by answering PTS and making sure the attendees follow the host's rules, but everything else must be done by the host.)

I. Ask the attendees the questionnaire below. An acceptable answer is one with detail, good grammar, good spelling, and one which is not plagiarized. You should have your own standards but don't set it too low.
What is Guardians and their purpose in TJO? (90 seconds)
What qualities do you have that would have a benefit in Guardians? (90 seconds)
Why do you want to be in the Jedi Guardians? (90 seconds)
II. Duels
Duel the host a set number of times, showing skill with the Lightsaber.
Upon passing all of the phases of the Tryout, the participants are to be logged in #rank-logs for their next rank. But beforehand, assure that they are not present in other path divisions (Consulars and Sentinels) before logging them. If they are, instruct them to leave the said groups before logging them.
Striking system
2 strike system, only pertains to tryouts. (Not actual infractions).
Misbehavior will result in a strike
A failed or insufficient response from a question on the Questionnaire will result in a strike.
A failed or insufficient result from Duels will result in a strike.
Strikes carry over from each portion of the tryout.
If a participant receives 2 strikes during the totality of the tryout, the individual is to be failed immediately.
A Guardian Trial is a test to see if you are worthy of advancing to the next rank. Elite Knight+ ranks require trials in order to rank up. During a trial, the attendee and host will be inside a private Ilum or Dantooine server. The attendee will send the Host their ranking requirements. The Host will verify them all and make sure they are all valid. All requirements must be prepared before taking the trial. During the trial, you will copy and paste everything you have prepared to the host through Discord. Plagiarism will result in an instant failure.
After the attendee sends the requirements the host will duel the attendee as specified in the ranking requirements. If they meet the standard they must be at or better, they will pass the trial.
If an attendee has invalid requirements which wasn't their fault, such as invalid training proof, or invalid approvals, they have 24 hours to get the people who gave them those to fix it.
The Guardian Combat Training (CT) focuses on teaching the participants on how to fight using a lightsaber. It teaches the fundamental basics of combat and helps improve on what they already know.
Tips and Tricks: Incorporated into every Combat Training at the beginning half, in which hosts explain techniques that can aid in one's combat abilities with the sabers being utilized. This training requires the Host & Co-host to use and share from your own knowledge and experience.
Methods:
‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒
Method I: [Dueling]
Begin with basic tips and strategies.
After which, split the attendees into pairs and have them duel against one another.
Repeat if necessary.
Method II: [Tournament]
Begin with basic tips and strategies
After which, split the attendees into groups of two and pit them against one another.
The winners of the duel will face off with other winners until the last 2 finalists compete and one prevails. This is basically a smaller version and practice for Guardian of Glory.
Repeat if necessary.
Method III: [Free for All]
Begin with basic tips and strategies
After doing so, bring the attendees to a wide area and have teamkill enabled (or you may create a new team for each individual).
The last person standing or the individual with the most kills wins the round.
Repeat if necessary.
Method I: [Juggernaut]
Begin with basic tips and strategies
Choose an individual among the attendees and hand them a large amount of health (:health [person] [amount], preferably 300-500), or head to a boss on Alderaan (upon its release).
The Juggernaut or the Boss's goal is to survive the onslaught of attackers for a period of time.
On the other hand, the attackers have to utilize teamwork to defeat the vastly stronger opponent before time runs out.
Repeat if necessary.
Method II: [Health Rotations]
Begin with basic tips and strategies
Split the attendees into teams of 2 and place them on opposite sides of a mat in a single file line.
The first of each sides will duel each other. If the individual of one team's health or force is low, they can retreat to the back of the line to recover.
The person after them will then take over and confront the opposing duelist.
The team with the remaining member/s standing wins.
Repeat if necessary.
Method III: [Gladiator]
Begin with basic tips and strategies
Split the attendees into teams of 2 and have them grouped up on opposite sides of a mat.
All individuals will engage in combat at once, tactics like health rotations can be utilized so long as everything take place within the borders of the mat.
Last team standing wins.
Repeat if necessary.
The Assault Training (AT) focuses on giving the attendees combat and teamwork practice in many different forms and scenarios through mini-game-themed exercises! You, the host, may pick any three exercises and do them, you can re-do the same exercise twice also.
Instructions
‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒
Explain to the attendees how the training will work and what exercises they will be doing.
Pick any exercise from the Exercises list below and do it twice.
Pick a second exercise and do it with the attendees twice.
Pass those who did well, showed good teamwork and good fighting skills while doing the exercises.
Method I: [Raid Simulation]
Split the attendees into two teams, defenders and attackers.
The defender's aim is to defend a certain position within a certain amount of time.
The attackers, on the other hand, will have to attempt to infiltrate/capture the said position, whether it be through speed, stealth or brute force.
Examples of locations can be the backyard on Legacy or the capture point on Dantooine.
Repeat if necessary.
Method II: [Team Deathmatch]
Split the attendees into two teams.
A countdown will be set and the team with the most kills by the end of the countdown wins the round.
Repeat if necessary.
Method III: [VIP]
Split the attendees into two teams with each having an exclusive individual, the "VIP".
Each team's goal is to eliminate the opposing team's VIP whilst protecting theirs, and the team who first eliminates the other's VIP wins. Note that the VIPs are not permitted to take out their weapons under no circumstances.
A time limit is not required, repeat if necessary.
The Discipline Training (DT) focuses on teaching the attendees formal discipline and many other things such as Guardian rules and regulations!
See the Rules & Regulations tab for information regarding rules about the division and Guardians as a whole.
Instructions
‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒
Method I: [Formations & Combat Commands]
The host shall elaborate and demonstrate the formations stated in the Guardian Guide such as Wedge, SFL, STS, Box, etc.
After which, the host will then elaborate and demonstrate the Combat Commands seen in the Guide such as disperse, fall in and out, engage, retreat, etc.
Upon going through the formations & combat commands, the host will be testing the attendees regarding what they learned during the training.
Pass those who did well. Do note that this is a more difficult training. Don't expect outstanding performance from the participants.
The Stealth Training (ST) focuses on teaching the attendees how to utilize stealth to their advantage while fighting.
Instructions
‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒
Method 1: [Hide and Seek]
The attendees will be split into 2 teams, the Hiders and Seekers, with a recommended ratio of 3:1 (Hiders : Seekers).
The hiders will have a designated time limit to conceal themselves in a certain area before the seeker is released.
Once the game has commenced, the seeker will have a time limit in order to find the hiders and exterminate them.
If a hider is caught, they are permitted to run around the designated hiding area, but cannot fight back.
Repeat if necessary.
Method 2: [Sharks and Minnows]
The attendees will be split into 2 teams, the Sharks and the Minnows.
The "Minnows" will have to make a certain number of runs/crossings across an area without rushing using dash/flip or attacking the shark. They will also be given a health limit of 1hp.
The sharks, on the other hand, will have to track the minnows and prevent them from completing the required number of crossings, but they will have impaired vision through commands (:blur or :thermal).
Repeat if necessary.
Method 3: [Ambush]
Attendees are divided into two, the ambushers and the victims.
The ambushers will receive a time limit on finding an ambush location within an area and planning the attack.
The victims will then move towards their destination, in which in their path should encounter the ambush location.
In order to win, the ambushers will have to take everyone out in the victims team. The victims, on the other hand, will have to reach their destination in order to win the match.
Repeat if necessary.
Method 4: [Reconnaissance]
Split the attendees into 2 teams, infiltrators and defenders. Preferably, more individuals should be on the defender's side with a 1:3 ratio (Infiltrators : Defenders).
The defenders will have to protect the identity of a certain object or information.
The infiltrators will have to bypass defenses and collect data on the said object, which can be as simple as someone's clone in a room via the :clone command.
The team that completes their task successfully within the time limit wins.
Repeat if necessary.
For all three methods, the participants only have one life. You may, however, do more than one round if there is time to spare.
Guardian Raids are events where Guardians gather together and fight/raid an enemy group. These are different from trainings. Raids are usually done in SWU games. There are also Practice raids, a special kind of raid scheduled between two factions/divisions. In these raids, there are ground rules and objectives set on and agreed upon by the leaders of both sides. Practice Raids are the best form of raids.
Counter-Raids are events similar to raids. The only difference is that you are allowed to host this event only when you are countering one of the other division's raid/rallies. ( on ilum legacy, you are allowed to host this type of raid on both teams ).
By attending a raid or counter-raid and staying until the end and excelling at it, you could earn an approval from the host for your next rank requirement.
You may also announce raid checks using the @everyone ping to see if there are people interested in joining your raid. Once it gets 3+ reactions excluding yours (the bare minimum amount of participants required to host a raid), you may announce your raid/counter-raid using an @here ping.
Spawn Camping Enforcement
Spawn Camping is the act of killing players near their spawn continuously. Hosts of their respective Raids are expected to enforce the rule and prevent their attendees from Spawn Camping. Same goes for attendees, they're expected to follow their host's orders to fall back when it is called out.
Strikes may be given to those who do not follow the enforcement, such as Attendees continuing their Spawn Camping. And for Hosts choosing to ignore it.
2-3 Warnings may be issued by the Host before a Strike may be given to the Attendees within #Infractions.
Attendees are allowed to report on their Hosts for not enforcing the rule, for which they may receive a reward for it.
Links
You must have at least 2 attendees before beginning.
By the end, each person in the Rally must have at least 5 kills each, including the host.
(If an attendee has great difficulty getting kills, the amount of kills they would need can be decreased till 2 as long as someone can make up the rest of their kills.)
Rallies must be hosted in a server with at least 10 players.
Example objectives to use throughout your Rallies could be to infiltrate a specific location, to defend a specific location, to eliminate, to capture, or to attack.
Throughout the rally the host must lead and give instructions which the attendees are to follow at all times
A screenshot of the host and their attendees with the leaderboard open showing the kills they all got must be posted below the original rally announcement.
If a rally has more than 5 attendees the attendee with the top kills may get a mission voucher.
You may also announce rally checks using the @everyone ping to see if there are people interested in joining your rally. Once it gets 3+ reactions excluding yours (the bare minimum amount of participants required to host a rally), you may announce your rally using an @here ping.
Method I: [Planet Purification Rally]
This type of rally prioritizes defeating all the Sith and purifying Ilum of their darkness.
Bring the attendees to a public Ilum server and round them up in the Auditorium next to Jedi Spawn.
Rally the attendees in a group and head out to complete your objectives, which should be based around killing as much Sith as possible. All attendees must obey orders and fight as a group using teamwork.
Throughout this rally you are to test the attendees skills in combat, in teamwork, in discipline, and in obeying and effectively carrying out orders.
Those who do well and stay until the end may be placed upon the passed section.
Method II: [Order 66]
You have been ordered against your will to attack the temple and kill all Jedi in sight.
Bring the attendees to a public Ilum server and have them all switch to the Sith Team and gather in the Sith spawn.
Rally the attendees to the temple to do a frontal attack or a stealth attack.
Begin your attack on the temple and execute Order 66.
Those who did well and stayed till the end may be placed upon the passed section.
Missions are tasks given by General+ regularly in #missions. Mission tasks can vary from anything in Roblox to case studies about Star Wars, but they must all require skill, effort, and be related to Guardians in some way. For example, a combat mission in a game, or an infiltration to a secret location in, the possibilities are endless! Upon completing a mission, you must DM the individual who assigned this mission and you shall receive a mission voucher, a requirement that is very essential for ranking up in Guardians. There can only be up to 5 missions at once and each missions last 5 days only.
Completing a mission will get your name added onto the completion log of said mission, however additional rewards for completing extra tasks or completing the mission first can be rewarded, like approvals, or requirement vouchers.
