What is an RF Team?
In our mission to organize our community around their interests, we’ve come up with a system designed for tight-knit RF Member groups. Teams are best described as small Divisions, with a Member cap, who all share a similar focus, tasked specifically by the RF Command to carry out a specific area to run the community. In the recent past, Teams were either Division Classification D or a Project Team. As of November 1st, 2021, Teams are now specifically used for project operations.
Unlike RF Divisions, Teams operate through the RF main hub server.

Team Structure
Teams are led by 1 or 2 Team Captains. All Team Members are collectively the same community rank but are assigned to specific Teams, which are then specialized at the discretion of the Team. In project Teams, tasks are assigned while projects are ongoing based on the Team Member’s skill or contribution to the project. Teams are a great way for RF Members to get more involved in the RF Command structure and are the main entry point for new Staff.
Team Captains and Division Leaders are essentially the same positions in where they place hierarchically within the RF Command. They only differ in what they do. Divisions are more about creating an experience for many RF Members while Project Teams focus on facilitating RF as a whole. Team Members are also more dedicated to the organization than an average Member who makes up the majority of a Division’s userbase. Team Captains can also go on to become RF Administrators.
Team names are pulled from the Greek alphabet and Greek terms. New teams can pick their own name from this theme.
Team Reporting Requirements
Teams are required to complete a monthly report on their activities, either through a form or through a monthly check-in done by one of the Team Captains with RF Command. Team reporting helps RF Command determines proper resources and support allocated to a Team’s operation. This also allows a chance for Team Captains to request further assistance or assets, such as graphics and Twitch channel appearances.
If a Team Captain fails to report in, the Team’s status is reevaluated.
