3.  A Word from the Touranment Organizer

I am Hidetoshi Ito, a event manager of BIGMAGIC, and will be in charge of Grand Prix Kyoto 2017.
We really appreciate your help for GP Shizuoka 2017 and GP Nagoya 2016.
We want to make this Grand Prix more liven up, so please cooperate with us. 

We hope to;

1. PREPARE for smooth tournament flow
Today, many players playing in Grand Prix in Japan, as well as in North America and in Europe.
Shizuoka'16 2700 cap 2700
Nagoya'16 2650 Cap 2700
Tokyo'16 3300 Cap 3300
Kyoto 2500 Cap 2500
However, almost all venue in Japan has to close earlier than other countries.
Therefore, in order to finish up event as smooth as possible, please prepare for your job(read the factsheet, look through the venue map, etc.)

2. CONNECT Japan and World
There are many good GP skills in the World, and there are many in Japan too.
What we hope is to report good parts of both sides to worldwide, and make the whole Grand Prix skill level even more better.

We hope to put this on the cover letter.

4.  Actual time of the work 

Actual time differs in date.
Friday: Early shift=9:00~18:00, Middle shift=10:30~19:30 Late shift=12:00~21:00
Saturday:Main event 8:00~R8, Late shift=10:00~Last Sideevent 11:30~22:00 *prepare for sunday

This is our plan, but if the tournament did not work smoothly, we should extend the time.
We need your cooperation for not extending the time.
 
We want the Judges to work on Friday+Saturday+Sunday, or Saturday+Sunday.
If you cannot work for schedule above because of your schedule(for example, you can only arrive at the site

2.ロールと謝礼

「フルスポンサーシップ」「トラベルスポンサーシップ」「ボランティア」のいずれかとなります。
Boxはすべて「破滅の刻」日本語版ボックスです。

土曜日にユニーク来場者が一番多いことがわかりましたので 募集は金土日、金土、土日、土のいずれかとさせていただきます。

フルスポンサーシップ(定員65-55前後)

トラベルスポンサーシップ(定員50-60前後)

ボランティア

*京都では、日本のL2の募集が多くなりすぎた場合でもボランティアを打診することはありません。

*交通費補助
京都・滋賀・大阪・兵庫・奈良・福井・和歌山・三重 1box
愛知・岐阜・鳥取・徳島・岡山 1.5box
長野・静岡・石川・富山・広島・島根 2box;
その他都道府県 2.5box

*今回は現金はお支払いいたしませんが、もって帰るのがおっくうな方用に8000円/1箱を現地で買取をいたします。
または日本国内の方には郵送のオプションが利用できます。(着払い)

応募時点でLv1の方は基本的にボランティアになります。BMOに参加している方で静岡で使っていない方はトラベルになります。
また、L1で本戦でジャッジを希望する方は、5月までにL2試験に合格することを目指してください。(IPGが不安なため)
なお、報酬のレベル参照は2017年の5月1日時点を参照します。

特殊ロール

希望者が多い時には、イベントがクラッシュできないので経験者を優遇します。
というもののそれだと固定化されてしまうので、未経験の方は追加報酬なし/フルスポンサーで特殊ロールに振ることはあります。

3.主催者より

お世話になります。BIGMAGIC、伊藤です。
PT京都前のグランプリということで、いつもよりL3の応募が多そう&海外プレイヤーが多そう、です。

今回も皆様のお力をお借りして、参加者のかたによい体験をしていただけたらと、考えております。
どうかよろしくお願いします。

英語ではいつも書いていますが日本語にも書きます。
お願いがあります。

1.準備をお願いします。

現在GPの参加者は頭打ち傾向にありますがそれでも2500+のプレイヤーがやってきます。
本戦は競技/プロです。IPGは大丈夫ですか?
1週間しかありませんが新カードを使用したリミテッドになります。
よく使われているカードの動きと注意点を理解していますか?
みなさん忙しいと思います。できる範囲でいいので、触ってみてください。

あと、会期近くになると、私が開催案内や会場マップなどをアップロードしていきますので
それだけは必ず確認してください。

2.日本式運営のいいとこを確認していってほしいです。
日本のGPはレベルが高く、さまざまなガイド(誘導)/サイン(目印)/すぐれた運営方法があります。
ですが皆さんが興味を持ってもらえないと継承されませんし、
TOが変わるとに用意されていないことがあるでしょう。
現状は京都がBM主催の最後のグランプリです。(2018以降は白紙のため/ちゃぶ台返しはあるのか・・・?)
興味を持ってみてください。そして次の人へつないでください。どうか日本のGPをよろしくお願いします。

3.海外勢と話してみよう。
いつも来てくれるので、新鮮味はありませんが
よくみる海外ジャッジ勢はやっぱすごい人が多いです。どこかの道のエキスパートだったりします。
怖がらずに話してみましょう。そして出会いを大事にしてください。
※わからないときはわからないというニュアンスをきちんと伝えるとかもう一回行ってというとか。
もう少しゆっくりとかスマホで和訳するとか、コミュニケーションを取ろうという姿勢が大事です。

4.集合時間・解散時間などに関して 

このように予定しておりますが、仮のものでございます。最終的にはHJと相談して決めたいと思います。

また、この時間でジャッジをして頂けることが基本とはなっていますが、

遠方のかた(日曜日に帰るので早く上がりたい)などはカバーレターにてご相談下さい。

5.来日アーティストについて 

Jung Park、Kieran Yannerです。
金曜日夕方と日曜日夕方にジャッジサイン会の時間を設ける予定です。
必ずサインがほしいという方はシフトを入れないようにお願いします。(代理回収は予定しておりません)

プレイマットは不評とのことなので、京都では配布しません。

6.(追記)
弊社が確保しているホテルはパルセスイン京都になります。
