Events
JAWA host a whole variety of events for the public and some member-exclusive. JAWA events can be hosted by the Event Planners[1] or any admin[2].
Game Night
Game Night is open to the public. Game Nights are held most Wednesdays: 7:30pm UK | 2:30pm Eastern | 11:30am Pacific.[3] The event and host can be different week to week but there are over two dozen events to pick from[4] or the event can be made up on the spot. Game night is a chance for both JAWAs and non-JAWAs to come together, socialize, and compete for fun.
TFFA Thursday
TFFA Thursday is open to the public. TFFA Thursdays are held most Thursdays: 7:00p.m. UK | 2:00p.m. Eastern | 11:00am Pacific. Multiple rounds of lightsaber only Team Free For All are followed up by a round of Merc Team Free For All. Each round two captains are selected by the host or people can volunteer to be a round captain. The captains then alternate selecting players for their team. The merc round teams are decided by all players spectating and auto joining.
Power 10
The Power 10 is an ongoing tournament in which JAWA members may challenge one another to climb the ladder. Only very skilled fighters may achieve the number 1 spot. Although the Power 10 is a skill-based tournament, its main goal is to encourage friendly competition. Participants are expected to show respect for one another, and demonstrate good sportsmanship. Participation in the tournament is voluntary, and members can enter or leave the competition at any time.[5]
The JAWA League
The JAWA League is a members only event. League is a single day event held on the last Sunday of every month except major holidays. This event is a great time for monthly updates from the JAWA leadership and bond with fellow clan members. League currently consist of 12 events: Duel Tournament, JAWA Championship, Single Heaven, Dual Heaven, Staff Heaven, Mixed Saber Heave, Melee Heaven, Tag Team Tournament, JAWA Darts, Watch Out For That Sniper, Merc War, and Team Free For All. Statistics for all events, except Team Free For All, are kept for each member. A Grand Slam Champion is someone who has won every single event in the JAWA League at least once. Due to the difficulty of winning all the events, there haven't been many over the years.[6]
Clan Maps
JAWA had a number of different maps on the server for all sorts of occasions. All 5 of the following maps were made by long time member Helena Revan and were made specifically for use by the JAWA clan.
The (JAWA) Temple
JAWA had a grand total of 5 custom maps made for the clans personal use. The main clan map was called The (JAWA) Temple. It had many areas to hold events in, it had a Council room where the JAWA Council could hold meetings as well as do member promotions and areas for just having fun in general. It even had a race track for Swoop bike racing!
(JAWA) Meet & Greet
The Meet and Greet map was for Events of the same name where members could gather and get to know one another better.
Island Sanctuary
The Island Sanctuary map was made as a replacement for the Meet & Greet map.
The (JAWA) Circle
This map was made specifically for the JAWA Honours and included an area with a stage in it as well as buttons for music. It had many other rooms and outside areas as well for relaxing and hanging out in. There was even a Council room in which Orientation for new Council members was held on occasion.
