Hello! I will be assistant-TDing for this tournament, and I’ve made a form for staff signups. Staff should fill out this form. Staff will be volunteer/unpaid.

Edit (3:53 PM, 12/29): would like to strike the statement “though I can sign off on volunteer hours for National Honor Society and the like,” as high schoolers cannot staff for this.

High school and middle school students are absolutely not permitted to work at this tournament. We are discussing Owen's post and the overall tournament situation with the host.

High school and middle school students will not be staffing at this tournament. The two high schoolers who had signed up to staff have been informed of this.

I typically don’t have middle schoolers staff for my tournaments unless I’m desperate for staff; I have that age option on the form so I know who people are. That’s the same reason why those options are still on the form.
