    4. Tellah’s Trainees by Free Enterprise

    When: ongoing

    Target: aspiring racers

    Base game: FFIV

    Commitment: 8 weeks

    Host: FF4FE

    Since: 2025 (event), 2018 (randomizer)

    Courtesy of FF4FE’s Wrexsoul:

    It is my pleasure and honor to announce the return of the Tellah’s Trainees Club! After a notable hiatus, the introductory club for new players is active once again. However, it wouldn’t be much of a return without some notable fanfare, would it?

    The Tellah’s Trainees Club has recruited some new leaders from the community to assist in broadening its scope and experience, two of whom were graduates of the original Tellah’s Trainees program. RobsatPlays and Drinks Glue have elevated the knowledge base and perspective of the future direction of the Club, having experienced it firsthand when it was formed. Currently, they are working alongside FE veteran BeautyInDiscovery to develop and unveil a competitive season format to add to the instructional curriculum of Tellah’s Trainees.

    For those with exposure to the World Collide community, its origin draws influence from the Moogle Cup and should be quite exciting!

    In addition to the upcoming season format, we wanted to broaden our scope so that graduates and veterans could have a more active role in the Club. While they continue to be instrumental in its success by providing tips and insight on the seeds, as well as answering questions from our newbie runners, it was time to have something else to help our up-and-coming runners continue to grow. So, to accommodate this, the Club has new site for information! Tellah’s Trainees Club Site

    The website will replace the previously used Google Sheet that housed all the flagsets for the curriculum that allowed those runners who joined the community after the rotation began to catch up. However, the site is much more than that! It includes intermediate flagsets that introduce other flags and club flagsets, as well as allow our fresh graduates to try out some previously used tournament seeds. Want to really stretch your knowledge? Try one of our rolled seeds in the Advanced section curated by our community that will have you muttering to yourself as you fight through adversity to complete the seed.

    So, I welcome both new players and veterans alike back to the Tellah’s Trainees Club and to be on the lookout for announcements of the upcoming season format, as well as our first seed in the new rotation!
