You must first create a character there, and then if you are approved by an officer (by posting in the Applications forum) you will be able to sign up for raids.

			===OOB System, Full Signups, and Replacements===

			The calendar system will classify people as either full signups, substitutes, or replacements. One can choose at the time of signup whether it should be a full signup or a replacement signup; substitutes will begin to be listed if the full signups are past capacity. Feel free to still sign up if the raid is full, and it will either sort you into an available class spot as a full signup or list you as a substitute.

			Raid signups can be cancelled freely up until 30 minutes before the raid starts; after that point, you must notify the raid leader to let them know you will be absent.

			Substitutes and full signups are both expected to be online and ready to go at the start of the raid. Replacements are NOT required to be on at the start of the raid; they are essentially tentative spots, and thus no attendance is required from them. Replacements can be moved from replacements up to full signups at their own discretion using the calendar system until 24 hours before the raid; past that point, the only way to move from replacement to full signup is to cancel your signup and re-sign as a full signup. If you move up from replacement to full using the button to do it more than 24 hours before the raid, you will keep your signup time. Cancelling and resigning will cause you to be regarded as signing up at the new time.

			If we are short full signups, or if we have absentees from full signups, we will first pull from the Substitutes queue and then the Replacement queue.

			The calendar sorts people automatically when they sign up as full signups, first to fill class balance, and second by signup time. So, if you are not one of the first few people of your class to sign up, you may be initially regarded as a full signup and later be bumped to a substitute if more people in an underrepresented class sign up.

			If you intend to raid with a specific character, sign up with that character. The raid leader may allow, at his discretion, people to change to a different character, but it will typically only be allowed if the second character is from an underrepresented class and if he will be switching to a character with the same raid role (DPS, Tanking, Healing). It is NOT permissible to sign up from an underrepresented class with the intent of switching to a class that is "full" in order to secure a signup spot with the "full" class.

	Players are also expected to make every effort to attend the raids they sign up for. If a player misses three consecutive sign-ups, or two sign-ups in a raid cycle, they will only be allowed to sign up as replacements until the completion of the next full raid cycle, and thus will only get to raid if there are not enough interested other players.		Players are also expected to make every effort to attend the raids they sign up for. If a player misses three consecutive sign-ups, or two sign-ups in a raid cycle, they will only be allowed to sign up as replacements until the completion of the next full raid cycle, and thus will only get to raid if there are not enough interested other players. Players who chronically miss raids may be asked to sign up as a replacement only on a longer basis.

	Leaving early or coming late will be considered the same as an absense, whether or not the person was able to go to a portion of the raid, as it is important to have a full block of time to dedicate to learning strategies and encounters. Sometimes several (or all) of the participants on any given raid may choose to raid past the finish time; however, raiders may always leave at the scheduled finish time, or without notice after it, with no negative repercussions.

	Raid Serious spots are assigned out to players who express interest and commitment in raiding on a set schedule. In order to be fair to other possible players who would like to have those spots, a 75% attendance minimum is expected from Raid Serious players, regardless of reason or notice given. If a Raid Serious player misses two raids in any consecutive four, and there is another player who can fill their Raid Serious role interested, then the player will be moved to Raid Casual status and the other player promoted to Raid Serious status.		Players are also expected to make every effort to attend the raids they sign up for. If a player misses three consecutive sign-ups, or two sign-ups in a raid cycle, they will only be allowed to sign up as replacements until the completion of the next full raid cycle, and thus will only get to raid if there are not enough interested other players.

	Players are also expected to make every effort to attend the raids they sign up for~~, whether automatic through a Raid Serious position or manually by a Raid Casual signup~~. If a player misses three consecutive sign-ups, or two sign-ups in a raid cycle, they will only be allowed to sign up as replacements until the completion of the next full raid cycle, and thus will only get to raid if there are not enough interested other players.

	If this sounds serious, it is, a bit. Yes, this is only a hobby, but if you do not attend when you have signed up, you are inconveniencing up to twenty-four other players, or even preventing them from raiding. We understand that real life is more important, but having a stable and available group of players is the only way to advance in raid content, ~~and~~ there are ways to sign up as a ~~tentative~~ player that should be utilized if you are unsure if you can attend.

			Being prepared to raid is defined as:

			* Having all of your gear sets repaired above 90% durability
			* Having all of your gear sets in your inventory that you may need to use (resist sets, healing sets, DPS sets, etc.)
			* Having all required addons/programs installed, updated, and running
			* Having enough reagents for the raid, typically being a stack for buffing materials and 20+ soulshards for warlocks, a full quiver of ammo for hunters, etc.
			* Having any raid-specific requirements ready to go (some raids may require items, potions, elixirs, etc.)
