Event Information

Please read the below information carefully as our compensation scheme has changed from 2016.

 

New brand name

In 2017, we'll organize our Grand Prix under the brandname of "Play-MTG.eu" , instead of tournamentcenter.eu. The company name is tournamentcenter.eu; it will be on the contracts, and it will be used for our platform (for multiple games and organizers). To let people get used to it, we'll use "Play-MTG.eu (by tournamentcenter.eu)" in the beginning of 2017.

Expectations

 

All staff members are expected to perform their duties in a professional manner that reflects positively on the rest of the event staff, Play-MTG.eu and Wizards of the Coast. We expect you to have fun, be professional and contribute to a great atmosphere for everyone to be in.

 

In addition to making rulings, judges can be asked to assist with event logistics, such as managing lines, pushing chairs, picking up trash, handing out prizes.

 

We expect every staff members to dress professionally throughout the event weekend and hold up their personal hygiene . A black attire (black Magic Judge shirt, black pants, shoes and belt) is required for judges and staff clothing will be provided for staff members. If you do not have a  judge shirt, one will be provided for you (we will take orders after we have selected judges). Staff members and judges are expected to wear their badges when on duty and when entering the venue.

 

We aim to provide visitors to this Grand Prix an excellent experience. Therefore we expect all to staff members to have read the Event Staff FAQ and be able to relate all information it contains. We also have planned a mandatory TO briefing on Friday evening or Saturday morning before the start of your shift, handling topics such as security and customer service.
