Please be sure to read the entire application carefully before applying. The application window will close on Friday, January 29th, 2015.  We realize this is a very short window, so ask questions if there are any concerns or you are unsurre about anything below.

Expectations

This application covers administrative roles, including prize wall, customer service, registration, VIP and Artist Alley. If you are only interested in JUDGING the main event or side events, please apply to the Judge Application posted here:

Please note that you may apply to both applications, though you will only be selected through one.  If you are selected for judge staff, you may still be asked to do take on administrative roles if needed.  If selected for a judging role, you may be asked to do any of the following:

•Work on one of the Main Event Teams (paper, floor, deck check, logistics)

•Judge Scheduled Side Events

•Judge On Demand Events

You may send any questions regarding the above information specifically or your application in general to judge@channelfireball.com or mashi@channelfireball.com.

Saturday Extended Shift

In an effort to continue evolving the Grand Prix experience we are seeking out staff who would like to volunteer to work shifts that will last as long as the full nine rounds of the Main Event.  For admin, this is somewaht unlikely. but still possible based on scheduling.  This will allow us to have more stability for the judge staff, create a more consistent experience for players, and offers some of you the opportunity to make more over the course of the weekend.  If you are interested in volunteering for this, please indicate so on your application. The additional compensation for the extended Saturday shift is:

•L2: +1 boxes

•L3: +2 boxes

If you have volunteered for the Saturday Extended Shift and are selected for the event you will be informed as to whether you will have the Saturday Extended Shift at the time of your selection, so that you can make an informed decision regarding your ability to join us at the event.
