Grand Prix Paris 2014

WARNING: Please read this carefully as requirements to join this staff are slightly different from what you may have been used to until 2013.

This event will be held on 15th and 16th February 2014 with last chance trials being held on February 14th 2014. The format is Legacy.

There are three types of sponsorship that you can apply for, spare, volunteer and room. When applying, please indicate ALL types of sponsorship you are willing to accept in your cover letter.

Spare Judges: Some judges will be selected to play the tournament for free, but enrolled as judges in the staff in case of huge attendance.

You can apply for 2 or 3 days or for 2 night shifts (see below).
 

If you apply for Friday, you need to be available from 09.00 hours, since Trials will start from 10am – so please make sure you are able to be on site at that time.

If you apply for Sunday, you need to be available until 20:00 hours on Sunday – if you need to leave earlier, please indicate the exact details in your application.If you don't we'll assume you're able to work until 20:00

If you apply for the night shifts, you must apply for both of them. Due to their unique nature, your compensation for two nights will be the same as for three days (see below). Night shifts are approximately Friday 9:00 PM until Saturday 8:00 AM and Saturday 9:00 PM until Sunday 8:00 AM

If selected for room sponsorship, your hotel room will be paid from Friday night to Monday morning. If you wish to stay longer, you have to make the arrangements yourself. An Hotel Room block with cheap costs (55€/night for 2) has been arranged already. You will share the room with another judge (unfortunately we can't accommodate staying with a spouse/friend, etc.). Additional room costs, food, taxis, etc. will not be paid for, but you will receive a food allowance each day you work.

You have a better chance of being accepted if you are an active judge in your community. Judges must speak sufficient English to operate in a tournament setting. 

Please bring appropriate judging attire, including a black judge shirt and black trousers with belt. If you do not have a Judge Shirt, please indicate this in your cover letter so one can be provided for you.
