I have recently begun to start up a heavy boxing tournament that will be annual. I am in need of various staff. If you'd like to help please reply to this thread. More info will be provided if you're accepted. There will be official genuine medals awarded to winners of the tournament (I messaged Valve about this.)
Staff needed:
Website maker/designer (more than one possible)
Server owner/runner
3D Modeller (to make the medals, you are pretty much guaranteed a self made here considering what Valve said)
General admins/mods (different timezones are great! Our head admin is Canadian and I am British).
Forum staff (if you're accepted for this I will send you a link)
To apply fill this out:
Name:
Age: (may not affect your chances depending on the rest of the application)
Position you are applying for:
Previous Experience?:
Rep Thread?:
Why we should choose you:
Examples of previous work: (if applicable)
NOTE: in some cases payment may be avaliable, but if you are going to apply only because of that, don't bother. There will be charity elements later and we don't need people only here for the money.

I can provide servers for this event however I won't be able to dedicate much time to configuring the settings or mods, etc. I have space available in chicago and montreal.
Add me to discuss.

No, I just simply don't have all the skills required and anyway need a proper team of staff for this to work well.

You're right, why should I try to organise a fun annual tournament and raise money for charity? That's a really stupid thing to do!

If you're referring to Flares that Care, no item donations will be accepted and no option avaliable for donating through us, just a link to where you can donate to the genuine charity.

Which charity is the money going to? What are the "charity elements"?

Never say this because it sounds like the sketchy shit that people who want to exploit freelancers would say. I understand this is a charity event (which should have been stated in the first place rather than insinuated in the post-notes); this is still not a good thing to ever state in the way your tone sounds. Personally, I want to volunteer my time for charity for charity, I don't have to be told to fuck off if I won't get paid.
Don't also give that "oh man well don't blame meeeeee for trying to make a good thing happen" because nobody is gonna want to work with you if your customer service/public relations techniques involves being like that. Answer what you can with transparency, thicken your skin, take the bad with the good and show tact and understanding in response, not passive-aggression.
Also, have you tried r/tf2 as well? If you'd like to find more help as well as more positive reception, they'll probably dig this event a little more than a 6v6-based forum like this might.

Uberchain - I apologise if what I said came out wrongly. I certainly don't/didn't think that some of it could be interpreted as 'don't blame me'. I may well go to r/tf2, thanks for the suggestion.
Jerm - the charity elements will be more like promoting the charity and asking for people to donate. The actual charity hasn't yet been decided and will not be decided until a full staff team has been organised and there is a community who would actually want to donate.

As an extra note - is it usual for new threads to be down voted so much or do people really not like the idea of this tournament?

I guarantee you that Extra Life, Child's Play, or even St. Jude's, whichever one you pick - if you have one and you tell people exactly which charity, as long as the charity isn't shit people will absolutely want to donate no matter what. Please pick your charity first above all.
Also, it's being downvoted either based on how you have a lack of experience with running this sort of thing, or because a Heavy Boxing Tournament is just something a 6v6-based forum isn't interested in. Again, r/tf2, but keep the questions asked here in mind because they will be asked again over there.
EDIT: I need to add, having a charity event with this much work is absolutely a good intention. As I said, you seem like fresh blood, you look like you need (other than a confirmed charity) a little more organization. Message people who have hosted charity/non-charity events before, do some research on what they did right, what worked and what didn't, what you'll need to watch out for because Something Will Go Wrong if you aren't careful, if they paid anybody or if they didn't and why they chose to or didn't choose to.

BaSGeneralGroundboundAs an extra note - is it usual for new threads to be down voted so much or do people really not like the idea of this tournament?
People generally get suspicious when someone entirely new to their community asks for volunteers with vague promises of possible payment.
