Title: Call for tournament coordinators
Post by Janzert on Oct 12^th, 2013, 3:36pm

Omar and myself would like to add a few more tournament coordinators for the upcoming world championships. If you've been around Arimaa for a while and seen a WC or two this is a great way to get a little more involved.

The full description can be found in the tournament rules (http://arimaa.com/arimaa/mwiki/index.php/2014_World_Championship_Rules#Tournament_Officials). The basic idea is for you to help clarify rules to players and be available for specific games to make a judgement on whether a game result is final or not. But if you're ever unsure yourself you can always kick it up the ladder to me. ;)

You're going to be here watching the games anyway right? :) It'd be great if you could join us and help ensure the tournament once again goes as smoothly as possible. Please leave a note here or send me an email at janzert@janzert.com if you are interested.

I am interested in being a tournament coordinator.
Shouldn´t be too hard, since all my actions I might have to take seem to be determined by the rules.
And you are right, I am watching the games anyway :).

Exactly.

Thanks Supersamu.

Yep, TC is easy; read the rules do what they say; if the rules don't cover the situation push it off to someone else. ;)

After much personal debate, I have decided that I would like to be among the TCs this year. I would prefer not to burden myself with a feeling of obligation to assist in running the tournament but simultaneously accept that I will almost certainly again be viewing and commentating a very large number of games either way. :P

I'd like to participate in the commentating part though I don't have your endurance, one game a day is enough to me. My error last year was to think that I could do more than that.

Sorry I didn't reply to this much, much sooner.

While I would be glad to have you as a coordinator, I think it would be much more difficult to replace the prodigious amount of commentary you do. You truly provide a huge value with all that work. I would hate to add anything that would in any way discourage you from being around for commentary.

So if you want to do it I'll add you as a coordinator. But I'd be quite happy to keep you away from all other tournament work if it'll help keep up the supply of commentary. ;)

Thanks; I expect to put up a thread a few weeks before the tournament begins to get the commentators set and ready to go.
