Rules
Here at OGC we strive to provide a family-friendly environment and community. It is an expectation to follow all Roblox rules: https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/203313410-Roblox-Community-Rules 6.0k
Here are some OGC specific rules:
- Do not get involved in drama. Gossiping and talking behind others back is hurtful and disrespectful.
- Do not directly advertise. Discussing a gymnastics team is allowed, but do not attempt to recruit members here.
- Share the gym equipment. Be mindful of other players, and if necessary, take turns.
- Do not post chainmail or links to “free robux generators”. These are scams and will automatically be deleted from the group wall.
- Do not beg for a staff role or admin commands. These are earned, and applications are open for staff positions periodically.
- Trolling or disturbing other players is not tolerated.
- Using alternate accounts in a malicious way or a way that puts others at a disadvantage isn’t allowed. (an example of this would be competing in competitions with multiple accounts at the same time).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
“How can I participate in competitions?”
Competitions happen once a month, usually the last Saturday of the month. You can pre-register by signing up at the beginning of the month. We will post the competition guide + signup link in a DevForum post that will be put on the group announcement. We also allow “drop-ins” on the day of the competition. Gymnasts who show up 15 minutes early can sign in with a judge and compete on the spot. -
“When can I sign up for the competition?”
You can sign up for the competition every single month, at the very start (generally opens for the first few days and stays open for a week). Signups are posted on the group announcement, as well as our social media. -
“How do I sign up?”
You can sign up by going to the group announcement(when they’re posted), and click on the competition guide. The competition guide will have a sign up link. On the form it will ask for your username, what time you want to compete, etc. -
“How do I become a staff member?”
Staff applications open periodically on our communications server. Keep an eye out! -
“Do I need Twitter to sign up?”
No, you do not need a Twitter account to sign up or participate in the competition. Having a social media account isn’t a requirement to enter competitions. -
“Can I be coached?”
Yes! Coaches host practices and training camps in the group. It will be posted on the group announcement when there is one. -
