Culturally, leadership is more than a title and level. As a leader at MagicFest Cleveland, 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:

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 or Checks 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.
