Green Team Challenge Rules

This is basically the Iron Teams challenge in every aspect except you can wear green gear.

Have a question about the rules? Check out our Iron Teams FAQ.

1. Do Not Die! – the most important rule of the challenge. Once one character dies
   the entire team is moved to the Honoured Dead section.
2. All characters on a new team must be between Levels 10 and 20.
   1. Teams are ‘locked in’ after Level 20. Changing personnel before Level 20, could potentially red-flag the team: ie. Warlock in the team, healthstone used but then warlock removed
      before Level 20. Since Warlock is no longer in the team, the healthstone use is no longer allowed.
   2. Teams can consist of a party from 2 – 5 players.
      • Converting a party to a raid group: NOT ALLOWED.
   3. Death Knights, Demon Hunters and Allied Races are ALLOWED.
   4. The challenge is complete once ALL team members reach Max Level.
3. No gear higher than Green quality (INCLUDING shirts & tabards).
   1. No enchantments on your gear (DK Rune Empowerment is an exception as it is a class skill).
   2. We no longer allow exceptions for Shirts & Tabards. Any blue+ equip will flag you.
   3. NO COSMETIC EXCEPTIONS! We are NOT allowing
      any blue/purple cosmetic gear exceptions.

   1. Talent point resets allowed.
   2. Spec changes are ALLOWED.
5. No Primary Professions allowed.
   1. No Secondary Professions allowed.
6. No Potions or Flasks used. We also check for Healthstones used if you do not have a Warlock on your team.
   1. EXCEPTION:: You are allowed to use healthstones only if you currently have a warlock on your team.
   2. No Elixirs! YES, Even Quest Ones. NO EXCEPTIONS! FLAGS WILL NOT BE REVERSED!
7. Your team’s Killing Blow / Total Kills percentage must be 75% or higher.
   1. Individual characters must remain within 10% of the highest Total Kills value on the team.
   2. Honestly, kill tracking is not issue if you are grouped up together and leveling AS A TEAM. If you are following the rules, you won’t need to worry about this particular rule.
