I guess there was some confusion about the first meeting and what level participants needed to be. Vet PvPers (this includes Boot Camp1 returnees) should come to the meeting on a PvP ready character at level 50 (note: for the kickball event, anything goes as far as purples/pvpios and such). Participants new to Team PvP should come on any character- Participants from other servers should create a throw away character, peacebringers are nice for the fly at level 1. They will not be actively PvPing just listening to the instructors and watching demonstrations for the first meeting.
Here is a an Outline of Boot Camp Season 2, this may change if we find that we can not reach the target goals in time. Any changes to this schedule will be voted on by the Ideas/Check off committee.
Week 1 April 15th
Introduction to PvP
Ventrilo meeting, at which the rules, and format of PvP Boot Camp 2 will be outlined. Short Q&A session to follow.
Following this discussion Boot Camp returnees and Vet PvPers will start a kickball event. While Players new to PvP will have an additional Ventrilo meeting in which different roles on a PvP team will be discussed.
Goals to complete prior to next meeting: All participants should pick their choices for characters they will use in Boot Camp2. Players new to PvP will select one character from a specific list of builds set by the Ideas/Checkoff committee. These characters should be leveled to a minimum level of 25 by the next meeting.
Week 2: April 22nd
No Boot Camp- Easter break.
Week 3: April 29th
PvP Survival Workshop
Participants new to PvP will have a workshop on PvP survival skills. Evasion routes on the various arena maps will be discussed. Inspiration usage, and arena temp powers will be discussed and powers such as phase shift, PFF and hibernate will also be talked about.
Vets/Boot Camp Returnees will set up and run a kickball event (any player who wishes to attend the workshop on survival may do so).
Goals to complete prior to next meeting: Level boot camp characters to a minimum level of 35 by next meeting.

Evaluation
Players new to PvP will run a mid-level kickball event under the leadership and guidance of Vet PvPers/Scouting Committee/Check off Committee. The new PvPers will evaluated to see if specific players need further attention on the following : evasion, inspiration usage, locking, spiking and communication. In addition, the players will be scouted as far as their general skill level on movement and PvP status to aid in creating fair and balanced teams.
Goals to reach prior to meeting: Level characters to 45. Meeting with team captains and balancing committee to start forming teams.

Nice, r0x re-upped.
Masque, I copied my Emp/Psy to Victory, but I'm levelling a Fire/Pain as well (level 15 atm)...will there be any teaming/grouping at all? I know no one on Victory, or any channels or anything...slow going getting to 50 solo.

Here to help as needed. Can't make that first day (April 15th), but am open after that.
Question about leveling. Are we on our own to meet the weekly level requriments? I've just never paid that much attention to how fast toons level. Those may be easily attainable or the may not. I'm a pretty much Friday, Saturday, Sunday player and I do have a life out side of the game so even on the weekend I don't want to burn a day playing (although I have) City of Heroes.
Something witty and profound
@Fista:
Asked Masque the same thing last night, what we're doing is teaming through regular content where there will sort of be a goal as to what level to stop at just so we can do lower level PvP aswell. I assume that there is always the AE option, and some people if you ask nicely will boost you up.

We do do some "experience enrichment opportunities when needed
· As this event will be used to foster interest in players wishing to learn and try team-based PvP. This event will be open to players from all servers.
· There will be four different pools of players eligible for participating in this event:
· This event is designed for new players, and as such if someone who is deemed a veteran player may not be eligible to participate at the discretion of the scouting committee.
· You must have an open character slot on Victory to roll a new character.
· We will be gaining xp/levels at an accelerated rate so participants must be willing to either participate in the accelerated xp gaining teams or be able to keep up with the current team level on their own.
·Participants must have access to a voice chat type of program such a Ventrilo. A lot of the teaching and team work requires the use of such a program. Participants who don't feel comfortable with speaking on a chat program may still participate but the ability to hear others and the instructions is necessary.
· Participants must be willing to come to practice/events (missing 2 or more practices without clearing it with the team captain may (but does not have too) lead to being released from the team and dropped from the event.
· Sportsmanship will be key. There will be no tolerance for trash talk, degrading, mocking of other participants.
Design of Event:
· All participants will roll a new character specifically for the purposes of PvPing. New participants to PvP will only be allowed to create specific PvP builds as directed by the ideas/check off committee.
· Team rebalancing may occur during the season.
· The season will last for approximately 16 weeks. There will be 7 weeks of training and instruction then 6 weeks of matches. There will be breaks for holidays including: Easter, Memorial Day and 4th of July.
· There will be target levels set for each meeting as well as goals for participants to achieve prior to each session.
· Players who request additional assistance/education or those observed by the checkoff committee as needed some additional help will be set up with a 1:1 mentor to assist them with those aspects of PvP that they need additional help with.
· Players will be divided up onto teams by the Scouting/Balancing committee with all effort given to create fair and balanced teams.
· The teams will battle in various PvP matches as designated by the ideas/checkoff committee, these may consist of: 1v1 duels, team fights, free for alls, and zone events.
Rules:
· Veteran players or Boot Camp returnees will be allowed to use 2 characters for this event. If a player chooses to play a "healer" type of character, they will be allowed to play 3 characters (pain dom or empathy).
· Players new to PvP or team-based PvP will only be allowed to create one character.
· No purple/PvP IOs will be allowed in Boot Camp 2.
· Alpha slotting up to tier 2 will be allowed. No T3 or higher (no level shifted characters).
· Accolades are allowed and players are encouraged to get these.
Schedule:

Demonstrations of these roles will be given by instructors in the arena.
