No more NAF events on Fumbbl!!!
Sorry, super click bait title.
We are looking for an extra staff member or two to support the NAF events on Fumbbl. This role would be suited to anyone who is keen to support in setting up and running NAF events on Fumbbl. Some of the main skills that would help out are previous experience of running Fumbbl leagues, experience of taking part or running NAF events and being able to support coaches during events. Another more specific role that would be interesting would be someone who might be able to increase engagement outside of the EU time zone.
When I started with this role I had helped run a league on Fumbbl but this was not an area that I was confident with running, so you can learn on the job. Stimme is brilliant on the technical side and you can learn a lot from him. With additional help we are hoping to build skills within this amazing community and hopefully free up more of Stimme's time so that he can enjoy the rewards and riches that some with his role in the NAF. Stimme and myself are both staying in the role and we would just like to expand the number of staff that are involved.

I can help if you if you would like.
But I'm in the EU time zone.

We would like at least 1 extra body in the EU timezone. I will add your name to the list and get back to you.

I might be able to help, but I would like to know more of what is expected before I commit to this.

The main roles are…
1. Find or make a ruleset. Build the tournament page and the ruleset. Advertise the event.
2. Check the teams that are applied, make sure they are correct and message coaches to make changes to illegal rosters. This is likely the most time consuming part of the role. More admins here would really speed this up.
3. Start the event. Support coaches in making their games. Grant forfeits at the end of the rounds.
The first part takes the most tech knowledge, but is mainly copy and pasting. It does not take a huge amount of time
The second part is the most time consuming, it normally takes an estimated 5 hours a week for the 2 weeks before the event.
The third part takes the most people skills. It is likely less than 2 hours a week.
So overall, time wise it it not too consuming. Stimme and myself communicate well between us if one is busier than the other. We fit the tournaments around big events so we don’t clash our busy times with events like the World Cup. My aim is likely to have two more admins to build and manage events and maybe another to just support with checking rosters.

I think I can do much of that, especially if I am not being thrown to the wolves. I have run in person NAF events, and long, long ago ran fumbbl leagues.
I have personally had trouble setting up custom rulesets, so learning how to do that and teaching others once I do would probably benefit many.

Is this a good time to say thank you to neilwat and stimme for running the naf tourneys? they are absolutely excellent additions to fumbbl.

I second datom's notion, great to have NAF events on FUMBBL; and a really nice tone set by neilwat and stimme.
I've taken a step back from FUMBBL last few months as I have full time employment for first time in 11 years eek! Popped back for FUMBBL Cup
