Combat Master Open For Applications

Hello everyone!

The finals for the ACC Championship - Singularity will be coming to a thrilling conclusion by the end of this week. With that wrapping up, the successful launches of both combat and judging society paths, and the amazing new judging system (once again thank you Erin for the fantastic coding!), my time as Combat Master is finally at an end.

To that end, we are opening the position for applications! We have some important information as the position itself is going to be a rather unique one going forward.

Combat Master sits in a weird place in terms of responsibilities. The ACC as a day-to-day activity is now largely self-sufficient, meaning the Combat Master ends up with either a lot on their plate all at once or basically nothing. The core responsibilities are:

• Run and manage occasional tournaments (which are very infrequent, the burnout on these is very real)
• Maintain the venue list
• Facilitate halls and judging lists for clan events
• Make sure judges aren’t messing about when scoring, and stepping in as needed (Judging is left to the members and the Combat Master should not normally be claiming matches themselves)
• Promote healthy normal ACC usage.

Due to the unique nature of the role, and the ACC as a whole, this means that the Combat Master will be coming under the umbrella of the Voice Staff once again. Much like a special magistrate position, they will be given access to our work queues (CS and Fiction Comps) and expected to participate as a member of the staff. The need to work on those queues and projects will wax and wane as the need to focus on ACC things comes and goes (such as tournaments).

If you are interested please email applications to myself, Bubba, and Atra by the end of the day on Monday, October 7th.
