Event Information

This is an application for the Hour of Devestation Prerelease at Channel Fireball Game Center on July 8th/9th.

Events

There are six events for the Hour of Devestation Prerelease. You DO NOT  need to be able to work the whole weekend to apply. There will be four shifts. Saturday will require a higher number of judges, so working shifts on those days will be prioritized.

Please let me know what events you are able to work in your application and if there's a minimum number you need to work. Also note that if you plan on working the midnight shift, we will not be placing you on the Saturday shift. If this occurs, it is in error and you should alert me immediately. There will be openings for Head Judge opportunities, please list relevant experience if applying for this. Scorekeeping will not be available unless you've contacted Josh about it previously.

List of Shifts

Friday Midnight (11:30PM Fri - 4AM Sat / End of Event)

Saturday (9:30AM-4PM & 3:30PM-11PM)

Sunday AM (10:30AM-6:30PM)

Compensation

Judges working the Midnight event will receive one (1) compensation unit which may be redeemed for $80 (Mailed as a check* pending the completion of a W9) or $110 Channelfireball.com Store Credit.

Judges working any Saturday or Sunday shift will receive one (1) compensation unit per event worked which may be redeemed for $100 (Mailed as a check* pending the completion of a W9) or $130 Channelfireball.com Store Credit.

Lunch and water/soda throughout the day will be provided at no cost. 

*Checks will be sent out following the prerelease and take approx. 7-10 business days before they are recieved.

If you fail to receive your check, please contact events@channelfireball.com. 

Expectations

All judges are expected to arrive no later than 30 minutes before their event begins. Judges are expected to stay through the completion of the rounds until the last match slip has been turned in.  If you need to arrive late or leave early, please note that in your application. Additionally remember that while you are in the employ of Channelfireball you are representing us. It’s a prerelease so it is naturally a more laid-back event, nonetheless we expect a reasonable amount of professionalism from all involved. In the end you are getting paid to do a job.

Attire for the event is black pants and a judge shirt (or other nice black shirt) tucked in and a black belt. If you do not have a judge shirt, please note that in your cover letter, as well as your size. We may have one that you can borrow for the event. If you have appropriate Channelfireball gear, this will also suffice.
