Tournament Organizer
We are looking to hire
two or three new Tournament Organizers. The work of a Tournament Organizer (TO) can be divided into two areas: planning and hosting. These are the main tasks:
- Discussing and planning future tournaments with the other TOs. This includes agreeing on the designated TOs for each tourney, and letting the other TOs know if you won't be available.
- Optimising deck-building rules for balance, and making sure the rules are simple and accurate.
- Tweaking of existing tournament concept ideas and creating new ideas.
- Providing support to the community, in the forms of questions via forum or chat PM, chat discussion, or in the tournament threads.
- Coordinating matches between participants when the tournament has started.
- Resolving conflicts between participants, potentially ranging from desynchs to accusations of cheating, and maintaining a cool and level head in order to make decisions objectively, as well as enforcing your authority.
- Ensuring rounds are finished on time, and making executive decisions if participants run too far past a reasonable time.
- Answering pressing questions in chat when the tournament is in progress.
- Last but not the least, a TO has chat moderator powers too.
Requirements:- Jr. Member or above.
- Being very active on the forum.
- Creativity needed in coming up with different tasks.
- Knowledge of bbcode, formatting, etc.
- For the above-mentioned tasks, a pinch of maturity and reliability is needed.
If you have questions regarding the work of a TO, feel free to PM
Zawadx.
If you are interested,
send me a PM titled "Tournament Organizer Application". Your application will be shared with the rest of the council, and we will discuss the applications. Don't forget to read about
what the council looks for in an applicant if you haven't, and
make sure to post what times you would be able to host tournaments. Keep in mind that tournaments range anywhere from two to four hours, and a Tournament Organizer
must be present for the majority of that time. Also, remember that Tournament Organizers
can participate in tournaments.
IMPORTANT NOTE: TO is a great staff position that requires lots and lots of activity, a large amount of spare time and dedication. Keep this in mind when applying.| Applications are no longer being accepted. |
