TD Rules & Guidelines

Code of Conduct:As a Case's Ladder Tournament Director, you are required to treat all members of the online community with respect and conduct yourself in a courteous manner at all times. Do not use your position as a TD to put yourself above others or abuse power in any way. When posting in forums, refrain from being abusive or negative toward other players. In general, just remember to treat your fellow gamers how you would like to be treated.

Dedication:Consider the position as a TD to be a duty. There is no reason you can't have fun fulfilling your position, but you must keep in mind that there are lots of people waiting for their turn to be a TD. Therefore, you must stay active and dedicated, as the members of the community depend on you to fulfill their tournament needs. If at any time you feel you cannot handle the responsibility of holding tournaments, just inform the Head TD Team of your situation so that we can make the spot available for another volunteer.

LadderBux:LadderBux are a virtual point system that Case's Ladder uses to reward its members. There are two types of tournaments that involve LadderBux. The first type has no entry fee, and gives back as many LadderBux as there are players. You must complete five (5) tournaments before holding tournaments of this type. The second type has an entry of LadderBux, and returns the pool back to the top finishers. In order to hold a tournament with an entry fee, you must complete ten (10) tournaments.

Stay Current:Please be sure to read all your E-mail carefully, as tournament system updates are frequently sent to all TD's. Also be sure to check the Tournament System Announcements on a regular basis.

No Shows:Be sure to arrive in the tournament room at least 30 minutes prior to your tournament start time. No shows or late shows are looked down upon. They not only give Case's Ladder a bad name but also result in disappointment to the players who have planned on participating. A rare no show due to an unforeseen emergency is always understandable, but please try to inform a member of the Head TD Team of the emergency so they can inform the players.

Requirements: We expect our tds to host at least 2 tourneys a week. We would like to see everyone, try to host a swiss and a double elimination per month. We would rather you are in the league at least 3 weeks before you apply, otherwise your application might get declined and we might ask you to apply at a later date.
At any time that you are unable to host for long periods of time, we expect communication from you, that explains why (not personal details necessary) and let us know when you expect to be able to host again. If you do not host and do not communicate a reason within 21 days we reserve the right to remove you from staff without further communication on our part and without any notice. If you ask to be put on vacation, you can accumulate 45 days of vacation per year, unless there are extenuating circumstances that might call for more, and those will be looked at case by case . If you have any questions please feel free to message me at sugarhatesdrama on yahoo messenger and ask me before you submit your application. Thank you for your interest in hosting with Humble Home!

What days and times are you available to host tournaments? (i.e. MWF 6-10 PM Eastern Time)

Do you have any prior experience running tournaments? Briefly explain:

In your opinion, what are the three most important qualities of a successful Tournament Director?

How would your closest friends describe your personality?

What do YOU feel is your strongest personality trait?

What do you feel is a personality weakness you need to work on?

What is the best way to resolve conflict between players?

If a player were to say to you, "This League sucks! You are a horrible TD and have no idea what you are doing!" how would you respond to that player?

If a player were to say to you, "I won my tournament match but my opponent keeps saying they won!" how would you proceed?

If a player with whom you have had a conflict joins one of your tournaments, what would you do?

Do you agree that 20 days without performing a tourney the td needs removing, if they have not communicated with their team leader or an admin as to why they cant or wont be hosting?
