Hosting Tips

Make sure you have LOTS of people. To be honest, there can never be quiet enough staff. Depending on how many teams are there (our Brunswick Eruption averages about 30), you may need 'pit helpers', people to help set up and take down the field, field resetters, a ref crew, A/V team, food concessions people, PR people, and so much more. We have a workforce of at least 50+ people for our offseason including students and parents.

Most importantly, try and get as much as possible planned ahead of time as to avoid confusion. Think about teaming up with a local team to 'cohost' the event doing an invitational by yourself if you are a small team is quite the task. Feel free to ask anymore questions or PM our mentor (Wayne C.). We've been doing this for 5 years now.

Don't hesitate to ask for advice. The people at PARC, Ramp Riot, Duel on the Delaware, etc have got this down to a science.

See now this is what I am looking for. Do you have a list of jobs and how many people you devote to each job. I am not trying to be a wiseguy . I know I need a lot of people but I would like to know if I have all of the jobs covered a head of time. So really I am hoping for the document that you use to divide up the jobs

Send me your email. MOE has a lot of experience at this with some very highly organized people who documents that could help. I'll forward your questions to the right people.
