How do we currently determine whether a realm is active?

Additionally, I am looking for any contact information for fighters from Asgard in Paso Robles, CA.

I don't know if the bylaws document has been updated since this change, but this is what stuff concerning realm activity and whatnot has been changed to: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=40439

15.2. An active realm in BMCS:
15.2.1. Must have and maintain at least ten (10) active members. An active member is defined as a person who has singed a waiver and either attends practice once a month during the practice season and/or attends three inter-realm events in a calendar year.
15.2.2. Must register with the BMCS. Either contacting an Officer of BMCS, and/or the BMCS online message boards.
15.2.3. Must use the rules for combat based on those contained within the Book of War of the BMCS. A realm may develop realm-specific rules. However, the national rules will be used during any inter-realm event.
15.2.4. Must not be within 20 miles of another BMCS realm. Alternatively, if within 20 miles of another BMCS realm then must have at least ten (10) active members separate from the other realm.
15.2.5. A realm must have a regularly scheduled practice at least once per month.
15.2.6. A realm must have a written constitution and/or bylaws. These will be submitted to the War Council for review prior to being granted speaking or voting status.

Thank you. I assume that the registration is annually if we did not specify?

I actually have no idea! I presume anyone on the BoD could answer that better than I could.

I don't believe we ever specified that. There was a lot of talk about it, if my memory serves me correctly (I haven't been on the boards in a while). You might want to talk to Par, he'd know better than I.

the O.R.K will be moving to a service-based approach. You may want to consider asking to tie into that resource. For me, it's as easy as checking the last time the records were updated, and defunct chapters are routinely cleaned from the roster.
