Experienced team members capable of leading on the MagicFest floor are crucial to running an excellent event, and CFB Events is excited to invite you to join our onsite leadership team. This application covers leadership positions over a six month period and provides more stability and predictability for leadership positions at MagicFest events from January through June 2019. Please take note that ALL leadership positions at MagicFest will be filled through this CORE application; there will NOT be an opportunity to apply for a leadership position through the individual event application.
The window for this leadership application will close at 11:59 PM (23:59) PST on Friday, October 26th, 2019.
NOTE: This application is not completed through Judge Apps. Please use the link at the end of this application to join our onsite leadership team!
This application offers the option of confirming TWO days at the leadership pay rate and ONE day at the standard for each event. If you are only available for two days, that’s not a problem; just apply for two days, and you will still be eligible for leadership compensation for those two days.
If we can’t bring you on for a specific MagicFest through this application, we would still like to encourage you to apply through the event specific application!
Culturally, leadership is more than a title and level. As a leader at a CFBE event, you are expected to invest in your team members, collaborating with them, helping one another to grow and to gain the valuable experience that each MagicFest offers.
Part and parcel with cultural leadership are the tasks and duties required of leaders at a CFBE event. As part of our leadership team you may be asked to:
-
Team Lead on the Main Event (e.g. pairings, slips, floor management, deck checks, end of round, breaks)
-
Lead on Side Events (e.g. Schedule Events Lead, On-Demand Events Lead, Kickstarter Lead)
-
Head Judge side events
-
Floor judge on the Main Event or Side Events when not in a lead position
-
Fill in wherever the team needs you
The Leadership Team at CFBE Events have a typical shift time of 10-12 hours There is a one hour lunch and at least one additional break during your shift. Leaders on the Main Event will be scheduled until the end of swiss* on Day One and through the completion of the Top 8 on Day Two. (*Start of Round 9 for individual Limited GPs)
We also received a lot of feedback on compensation. Based on that feedback, we are happy to offer Leaders who join our onsite team through this application the following compensation rates (this does not include Thursday Set-Up). Please note that default compensation rates include booster display boxes from the most recent Standard set. Successful applicants may select an all-cash option prior to each GP you attend if that is prefered. Compensation rates that do not include boxes are listed in brackets after the default rates:
|
Daily Lead Compensation |
Daily Non-Lead Compensation |
3 Days |
|
$375 + 2 boxes ($475) |
$250 + 1 box ($300) |
$1,000 + 5 boxes ($1,250) |
Monetary compensation for events outside of the US may be converted from USD into local currencies at the Google exchange rate. Please note that the conversion rate will be locked in three (3) weeks prior to the event. Contractors may choose to keep the payment in USD or request any other currency available through PayPal; all payments will be processed through PayPal.
A survey to accepted staff will be sent out seven (7) weeks prior to each event. That survey will allow you to:
- Request scheduling options.
- Elect to take the all cash option.
- Select the currency you would like to receive your PayPal payment in.
Please remember that failure to fill out this survey will result in the default compensation of boxes plus PayPal in the local currency.
Leaders selected through this application are also able to apply for Thursday Set-Up at the standard rate of $150 and two booster boxes in the US, €125 and two booster boxes in Europe, $200 CAN and two booster boxes in Canada or $225 AUD and two booster boxes in Australia.
All team members are independent contractors and are required to complete appropriate tax paperwork and a contract with either CFB Events, tournamentcenter, or both.
An example of the CFB Events contract is available here:

An example of the tournamentcenter contract is available here:

This paperwork must be filled out PRIOR to each individual MagicFest.
With so many potential Leaders and dates, we have opted to use a Google Form for this application. To join our onsite leadership team, please click on the link below. We hope to see you at multiple events in 2019!
