There shall be three levels of recruits: Recruit, Veteran, and Elite. A

after joining, by writing a request for promotion. It shall be finalized by at
least a two-thirds majority vote of the Council. A Veteran may be promoted to
Elite within the team, not less than forty days after joining, by writing a
request for promotion. It shall be finalized by at least a three-fourths
majority vote of the Council. Only Elites shall be considered full-members and
eligible for promotion into the Council.
The Council may, from time to time, call upon an Elite(s) to fill positions
of temporary vacancy within the Council, within tournaments, and/or may also
group Elites together to create additional teams for play. The Council shall be
vested legislative power to do so under this Article.
Upon the event of a vacancy within the Council, the longest standing Elite
shall be promoted into the Council by writing a request for promotion. It shall
be finalized only by a unanimous vote of the Council.
In the event of a tie between standing Elites, the Council will choose one of
the eligible candidates to fill the vacancy by a simple majority vote. Once the
