Additionally Generals will be responsible for updating their member list and encouraging all members to utilize their clan forum. Generals must ensure that all members have read and are playing by the Honor Code. Generals are expected to make sure all clan members are familiar with the rank structure and know who the leaders are in the community. Generals are also expected to meet with their clan weekly to discuss clan issues and vote on promotions within the clan. Generals must ensure that captains are registering on www.clancompete.com and are playing clan matches with other online clans and also XG clans. Generals work closely with their Captains and Section Leaders to create an enjoyable gaming experience for all. A General is responsible for taking care of minor matters within the clan. The General is expected to report major infractions directly to their Section Leader or Division Leader.
