What clan do you belong to: .unPro^
How long have you been in that clan: about 4 months
How important are training clans to you: Not Very
Why did your clan start a training clan:I Have no idea, i would think because DP is very boring and to teach some one else would make it fun
Does your clan promote from within the training clan to the parent clan: If they are good enough, Yes Do you have a process for doing so: During "practice" if we like what we see
What things do you teach in your training clan: Jumps, Line spots, How to Merk etc.
What's one thing would you most like to improve about your training clan:The skill level, like i said before i don't know why we have nubs wearing a similar tag
Which communication methods do you use? (IRC, instant messengers, ventrillo/Teamspeak, website, forum, etc.) :IRC, Vent, TS.
What are the requirements to join your training clan: so far, none if you want to join you can, i am assuming later when we have around 7-8 members that we will start to "cut" and pick new recruits that have interest
How much time do you spend with trainees in actual training: when we are not matching and we are bored we will "train" them or if they ask and we can "train" them, then we will How much time in matching/scrimming: we currently have two of the parent team on the training team who match using their tag with them. The parent team also grabs a server and scrimages mixing the two teams together.
If there were tournaments for training clan members only would you encourage your training clan recruits to participate: Yes but lets get serious, Our (dumb in my oppinion) training clan and Farm Starz are the only ones. doesn't sound like much of a tourney
Would you participate in a forum for DP training clans: hate the forum, let me know on IRC and ill be glad to talk about something there
Further comments: Erase .unPro^ off of the "Banned List" for INT matching

Thanks for your response. You can talk to me in irc about the banned list. And there are more than two training clans out there. Part of why I am taking this survey is the increase in awareness of training clans that results.

I sure hope your views are not representative of the whole Q group. If so then the training clan is not much of a priority. But thank you for the response.

What clan do you belong to?
Int
How long have you been in that clan?
Since rept and I founded it 6 months ago.
How important are training clans to you?
Important. New folks need a chance to learn the game in a clan setting.
Why did your clan start a training clan?
Because I was not good enough for a competitive clan but wanted practice.
Does your clan promote from within the training clan to the parent clan? Do you have a process for doing so?
We are an independent training clan. We do not have a parent organization. But we do encourage those recruits who want to move on to a competitive clan. And if we can we refer them. Those members who like our environment and want to stay we encourage them that route. Those that really want to use us as a stepping stone to get to the upper level clans we try to help do that. Some just come to our clan to get their skills back up after having been inactive for a while. Whichever path someone is on they can contribute.
What things do you teach in your training clan?
lining spots, jumps (especially on our home maps, but some on others), basics of voice recon and strategy, how to do basic clan functions such as connect to a server (some really don't know), how to specinvite, etc. We also have taken on a few who did not know how to strafe and taught them that.
What one thing would you most like to improve about your training clan? I think we could use more training on lining spots and tactics on particular maps, especially common tie maps right now.
Which communication methods do you use? (IRC, instant messengers, ventrillo/Teamspeak, website, forum, etc.)
We use vent, irc and forums.
What are the requirements to join your training clan?
An interest in clans, a willingness to learn, a microphone for vent and a half-way decent shot. We also like some general knowledge of at least common pub maps.
How much time do you spend with trainees in actual training? How much time in matching/scrimming?
We train every night on our maps and tie maps. Often this is simulated scrims with teams either in the same vent or different channels. Other times it is lining or jumping practice. We try to give links to map info or demos from other groups. Sometimes we have folks from other clans share reference material or come in and assist on a jump or some aspect.
We match/scrim whenever there are enough folks on that want to. Most every clan is willing to match us since we are often a win for them :) Some nights we do up to 5 or 6 scrims, and some nights none. Just depends on the mood. We have been known to run multiple scrims at once if a lot of our folks are on.
If there were tournaments for training clan members only would you encourage your training clan recruits to participate? I certainly would. We need to have a venue to allow for competition among those at somewhat similar levels.
Would you participate in a forum for DP training clans?
yes.
Further comments:
So far InT has been a great experience. We have lost a lot and won some too. I have definitely improved since the time we founded it, simply by playing in matches and watching, and gleaning hints from others when I could.
We have had some great people in the clan too, which has made it worthwhile.

What clan do you belong to?
Metal Militia
How long have you been in that clan?
since 2004
How important are training clans to you?
They're a "nice to have"
Why did your clan start a training clan?
To increase the amount of trainees and to improve the skillbase that we could recruit from
Does your clan promote from within the training clan to the parent clan? Do you have a process for doing so?
The training clan didn't last long enough, but it was part of the plan - we had trainings together and were watching the training clan's members closely
What things do you teach in your training clan?
Mostly team communication and understanding of complex maps
What one thing would you most like to improve about your training clan?
Ties to the main clan should have been closer - to many players switch clans every week
Which communication methods do you use? (IRC, instant messengers, ventrillo/Teamspeak, website, forum, etc.)
Website, Forum, Teamspeak, IRC
What are the requirements to join your training clan?
Friendly behaviour, basic skills
How much time do you spend with trainees in actual training? How much time in matching/scrimming?
Had training twice a week for 1 hour, scrims were up to them
If there were tournaments for training clan members only would you encourage your training clan recruits to participate?
They participated in EuroPaint, but as they are not anymore... :/
Would you participate in a forum for DP training clans?
Due to the circumstances, probably not
Further comments:
I wish that players would not switch clans as easily and as often

What clan do you belong to?
QeHs
How long have you been in that clan?
since 2005 (have been elsewhere)
How important are training clans to you?
Relatively important
Why did your clan start a training clan?
To bring more players to matching scene.
Does your clan promote from within the training clan to the parent clan? Do you have a process for doing so?
Yes, we have promoted a good number of those (check the ex member lists for q.b). We dont have a system. Our training clan isnt the ideal way of having a training clan. We rather take already matching people to clan and tryout them (to check their loyalty and inclan attitude).
What things do you teach in your training clan?
Maps, attitude, recon.
What one thing would you most like to improve about your training clan?
To really get a TRAINING clan going, not a tryout clan.
Which communication methods do you use? (IRC, instant messengers, ventrillo/Teamspeak, website, forum, etc.)
Mostly irc, during matches TS (occasionally)
What are the requirements to join your training clan?
At the moment we rather dont recruit.
How much time do you spend with trainees in actual training? How much time in matching/scrimming?
We match with [q.b] as they are part of our main team.
If there were tournaments for training clan members only would you encourage your training clan recruits to participate?
I think that would be great and I would force q.b to play =)
Would you participate in a forum for DP training clans?
Dont think so.
Further comments:
I wish it would be easier to find intelligent people with good attitude easier.
