If you’re going to Evo 2012 this year, here’s a great opportunity to help out with running the tournament. As usual we are recruiting around 40 tournament judges, but this year we are also looking and two Assistant Tournament Directors. This is a great chance to learn the technical details behind running competitive gaming events at massive scale. Here are descriptions for both positions.
Evolution 2012 Tournament Judge
The Tournament Judge role is a volunteer position and hard work, but there are still some great perks. We will have a catered lunch and dinner for all judges on Friday and Saturday, July 6-7, and judges receive an official Tournament Judge T-shirt. Judges will also be allowed entry to the tournament hall in advance of general admission for the Sunday Finals and receive priority seating. Applicants should be familiar with a double-elimination bracket and have a passion for competitive gaming.
