The TPM Battling League
Tournament Director Applications
Admin Approved by Chris
Commissioner: mr_pikachu
This topic is for members of the TPMBL to apply for a position as a Tournament Director.
The TPMBL is looking for new Tournament Directors to help run the league! This is an open call for new Tournament Directors. All that is required from applicants is that you are a member of the TPMBL. (If you aren’t, you can register for the league here.)
Selected applicants will gain the status of C-rank Tournament Directors, and will serve as Assistant Tournament Directors for one or two tournaments - these will serve as “training.” All applicants who avoid major problems (such as abuse of power, cheating, etc.) will then be promoted to B-rank.
The deadline for applications is June 30, 2007 at 11:59 p.m. Central Standard Time. If you want to help the TPMBL succeed, we’d love to have you as a Tournament Director!
We do need you to answer a few questions in your application. Just post your responses in this thread. You don’t necessarily have to answer all of them… but it would be nice.
1. What is your TPM Username?
2. What is your TPMBL Username?
3. When did you register for TPM?
4. What is your real name? (Last name not required.)
5. Do you have any previous battling experience, or have you participated in any other competitions?
6. Do you have any managing experience, in competition or otherwise?
7. Why do you want to be a TD (Tournament Director)?
8. What personal strengths do you think would make you a good TD?
9. What personal faults might hurt you as a TD?
10. What kinds of tournaments would you like to direct?
11. How do you think the TPMBL could be improved, if at all?
12. Do you have any additional comments?
Here’s an example of how an application post might look.

5. I haven’t battled with the video games, but I do play in Pokemon TCG tournaments.
6. I’ve directed lots of TCG tournaments, and I also manage my dormitory’s website at college.
7. I just like games, and I want to help the league grow.
8. I have a lot of experience with competition, so I’ve gotten pretty good at resolving any conflicts that might occur.
9. I sometimes get a little obsessed with rules and regulations, which keeps tournaments from running smoothly.
10. I’d like to direct pretty typical tournaments, like those using Pokemon at levels 50 and 100 with standard clauses (like Sleep Clause, Legendary Clause, etc). I’m not as excited about themed tournaments, no-holds-barred tournaments, and tournaments with unusual clauses. But I’d be willing to direct both Standard and Championship Tournaments.
11. I think that the TPMBL would be better if some tournaments were held in a single day, with each round lasting a few hours.
12. I hope to help the TPMBL in the future!
See? It’s as simple as that! You’ve got more than two weeks, so that’s plenty of time to put a post together. If you’d like to be a part of the TPMBL staff, let us know!
