Forked Tower Raid leads in CAFE can use role-based internal signups with either the CAFE exclusive Roster Manager or with External Sign-up systems (like Excel or Sheets). The signup method is determined by the raid lead and will be specified in the run announcement. Please read each run announcement carefully to understand which method is being used for the run you want to join.

Check #ft-schedule, Sign up for a run, wait for the password ping 30 minutes before start time, and use it to join the Raid in the Private Tab of the in-game Party Finder.
