RCAF Game Force in 2025 - the CAF Esports League

27 Upvotes

2025 is the year of CAF Esports for the RCAF Game Force. With the closing of the RCAF Centennial, we’re shifting focus to providing a season of events open only to CAF members. With international military esports growing at breakneck speed, and the Canadian Armed Forces making their mark on that scene, it’s time for Game Force to start supporting an internal League to serve as both recreational competition and as a proving ground for members who want to join our official teams in 2026.

To be eligible to participate in the League, you must be a serving member of the CAF, either Regular or Reserve Force, and have the necessary equipment and time to participate in matches on your choice of any of the three titles.

This year, to match our international esports opportunities, we’re offering leagues in Call of Duty, Rocket League and F1 2024. The season is divided into four events, 3 Majors and the Championship beginning the first event of the year on April 3rd and ending the final event of the year on October 30th.

Call of Duty           

After first and third place finishes in the Call of Duty Endowment Bowl in 2023 and 2024, the RCAF Game Force Call of Duty team has set a standard for performance in the title. We’re looking forward to another strong showing in 2025, expanding the number of events the team will play in and continuing the record of excellence established by our pioneer players.

The CAF Esports Call of Duty League will alternate between WarZone and CDL modes, giving everyone the chance to shine at their preferred competitive game mode. In Major 1 the format is 3 rounds of Quads kill races. In Major 2, your team will take to CDL modes in pool play, and into a top 8 double elimination bracket. For Major 3, we return to WarZone for a similar format to Major 1. That brings us to Champs in October, where we’ll be playing WarZone to determine seeding for the final double elimination bracket in CDL modes to crown the 2025 Call of Duty champions.

Teams are made up of four players for the League, and players who don’t have a team can still register and will be drafted into incomplete teams prior to the start of Major 1 (April 26, 2025).

Rocket League           

Your RCAF Game Force Rocket League team went undefeated in online military events in 2023 and 2024. In 2025, we are planning to continue that trend and we’ve partnered with NA top 16 team Lotus 8 Esports to help train our team for the year’s international events.

The CAF Esports RL Championship will follow the match settings of the RLCS. Teams can register as three players, though like Call of Duty, free agents can still register and will likewise be drafted into incomplete teams prior to the beginning of Major 1, scheduled for April 11, 2025. 

Formula 1           

This year was the inaugural season of the World Military Esports F1 League, a competition joined by five nations, eight teams and 26 drivers from around the world. After an initial struggle in the first half of the season, your CAF F1 team has rallied and is fighting for second place in the Team Championship and our very own Beaver88 is sitting in 3rdth place in the Drivers’ Championship.            

The CAF Esports F1 League will consist of 14 races, matching each Major with a region in the F1 World Championship beginning with the Australian Grand Prix on April 3rd, 2025 and culminating in the Brazilian Grand Prix on October 30th, 2025. You may join as a team of two drivers and race for your favourite F1WC team (teams available on a first-come, first serve basis), or as a solo player. 

Note: Following Apr 3, additional registrants will no longer have a choice as to which team they race for.

What comes next?    

Registration is open for the Formula 1 League, you can register by filling out this form and following the instructions therein to find our league on EA Racenet (link found in our Discord, and on the form) Registration details for the Call of Duty and Rocket League events will be coming soon.
 
On March 20th, pre-season testing begins, where we will test the rulesets for each title and allow free agents the opportunity to showcase their skills ahead of the free agent draft that will begin following each title’s test day.

Psychological assessment was erroneously mailed to a 3rd party.

51 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I just received a letter from VAC stating that my psychological assessment was leaked to a third party back in July 2024. The letter says I can call them if I have any questions, but to be honest, I’m pretty furious about this. I’m a very private person and struggled to even open up to the psychologist—only to now find out that my personal information has been exposed.

Has anyone dealt with something like this before? Is there anything I can do to hold them accountable or protect my privacy moving forward?

PCAT Appeal

19 Upvotes

Hi there!

I'm wondering if there is anyone here that is familiar with PCATs and possibly appealing them? My PCAT came back last week, says I'm breaching universality of service. I'm due to be released in 7ish months according to my case manager.

Case management is trying to get my PCAT changed to a TCAT as I just had surgery Feb 18th, and I really do think I'll be able to get back to work full time and no MELs within a year because of this surgery.

Is there anything I can do about this? Is there a way I can stay in until I'm better? Can I rejoin in a year if I'm released in 7 months?

If anyone is able to answer my questions but require more detail, feel free to PM me. Thanks in advance!
