TOURNAMENT UPDATE: NEXT TOURNAMENT, EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST
We are considering perhaps changing the mix of adjudicators for the next tournament. There are no promises here, but if you're interested, let us know.
We are considering perhaps changing the mix of adjudicators for the next tournament. There are no promises here, but if you're interested, let us know.
An adjudicator's job consists of:
- Rule changes. We have a number of things we're looking at for the next tournament, and the adjudicators will be deciding what happens and what doesn't, plus they will be expected to help test any changes.
- Rule disputes. It's impossible to catch everything, so you will occasionally be required (either individually or after a debate) to weigh in on a corner case and make rulings, usually fairly promptly.
- Answering questions. This is the biggest part of the job; you'll be expected to log in to Facebook fairly frequently (and also any forum threads) to clarify or answer any questions the players might have. This means you have to be fairly conversant with the rules yourself, and should look things up if you're unsure.

Overall it's a pretty rewarding job, but it does mean that you can't win any tournament you adjudicate (though we will certainly still record a score). If this sounds like something you might want to do, let us know, and we'll consider it further.
