Grand Prix Auckland

On behalf of Top Deck Events and Wizards of the Coast, welcome to the staff application page for Grand Prix: Auckland.  Auckland is going to be an exciting Magic weekend with lots of special events, and catching up.   We are looking for friendly, knowledgeable, professional individuals with a goal of providing exceptional guest service through the entire Grand Prix experience.  If this sounds like you, then we welcome you to apply within and be a part of the amazing team that will make Auckland a memorable and Magical weekend.

Expectations

Judges are expected to work Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

All staff members are expected to perform in a professional manner that reflects positively on the rest of the event staff, the Tournament Organizer, Wizards of the Coast and the Judge Program.  We desire team members that diligently seek to promote a fun, exciting environment for everyone to enjoy.  This also includes avoiding activities that could in any way negatively affect a staff member’s performance.

All staff members are expected to dress professionally throughout the weekend, with all clothing clean and neat.  Staff members who do not meet this expectation will be sent to remedy the situation immediately or will be removed without compensation.  Judges are expected to wear the Magic Judge shirt, dark undershirt, black belt, black pants, black socks, and black shoes.  Staff members in a judging role will adhere to the above dress guidelines, donning the Top Deck Events staff shirt instead of the Magic judge shirt while working in a non-judging role.  Staff shirts will be provided as needed.
