Status types

You may apply for one or both statuses: Confirmed or Standby.

• Confirmed means that you are confirmed to work the event. Staffing needs vary day-by-day, but Friday staffing will be posted shortly after final selections are made.

• To apply for Confirmed status, please select "Full Sponsorship."

• Standby means that you are not confirmed to work on any day, but that you agree to show up and be "activated" as necessary. You will be included in forum communications, and we may activate you before the event begins. If you are not activated in advance, we encourage you to show up and play.

• To apply for Standby status, please select "Standby."

Please apply for all status types you will accept. If you select both Confirmed and Standby, we will consider you for Confirmed staff first. If you select Confirmed but do not select Standby, we will not consider you for Standby.

Paperwork

Please note that all staff members are independent contractors and will be required to complete U.S. tax paperwork prior to beginning their shift.

• All Staff will be required to fill out an I-9 form and be able to present the appropriate documentation in person before they begin working.  You can find the form and the list of documents here.

• U.S. citizens and U.S. residents must complete a W-9.

• All Staff will be required to sign an Independent Contractor Agreement similar to the one seen here.

The I-9 form is only required once, a W-9 or W-8BEN is required once each calendar year at your first event with us, and the Independent Contractor Agreement is required for every Cascade Games LLC Event.

Lodging is your responsibility. We will have a room share thread in the forum for this event to assist you.  More details will be posted as they become available.
