Sponsoring - I want to help!

Currently, Duel Commander barely costs over a hundredth of EUR every year to us (Discord boosts, DNS registrars and a little hosting costs).

We still accept direct financial use through donations (get in touch with the Core Team for that), or simply directly through Discord Server boosting (helping us get/keep level 3 server boosting would be helpful!).

Roles exclusivity

👉 Those roles/statuses are mutually exclusive (i.e. can't be cumulative), and they are not made for raises (they are not upgrades, but a new role can be assigned to anyone). The Committee usually contacts people they think should join them, but, should you know someone you think would be interested and interesting please contact us on Discord or Facebook. See our 2024 presentation for more.
